First Time Here?

What to Expect

Here's how a typical visit goes from arrival to home — so you know exactly what you're walking into.

1

🚗 Arrival & Parking

We're at 910 Tranquille Road, Kamloops — right next to Denny's. Free parking in our lot, with overflow parking along 9th Street if the lot is full.

2

👋 Check-In at the Front Desk

For laser tag bookings, head to the front desk to confirm your reservation. For walk-in arcade visits, you can head straight to the play area. Every guest needs a signed waiver — and waivers must be renewed each visit (they're valid only for the day they're signed). Sign online in advance to skip the line at the door, and make sure everyone in your group does the same!

3

💳 Get a Fun Card

We use a modern Fun Card system — no tokens, no paper tickets. Cards are included with any game credit purchase. Just load credits, swipe to play, and any unused balance stays on the card for next time.

Most popular: our Fun Passes, which bundle arcade play and attraction access together for incredible value. See pricing →

💡 Earn Loyalty Points: Reload your card through our website or Fun Factor App to earn points toward free attractions and more. Points are only earned on online/app reloads — not in-store, so set up your account to maximize rewards!

4

🎮 Play Time

5 attractions to explore: Laser Tag, Arcade, Mini Bowling, Spin Zone, and QBIX. Each attraction has its own requirements (closed-toe shoes, height minimums, etc.) — see the full requirements list below.

5

🍔 Snacks & Food

We don't serve food on site, but you have options: Denny's is right next door, plus there are many great restaurants in close proximity. Outside food and non-alcoholic drinks are welcome — see our food policy below for details.

6

🎁 Prize Centre

Tickets earned from arcade games can be redeemed at our Prize Centre for toys, candy, and bigger items. Tickets stay on your Fun Card forever — no need to redeem in one visit.

7

📱 Heading Home — Manage Your Card

No checkout needed — your remaining balance, tickets, and rewards stay on your Fun Card automatically. Get the most out of your card with our Fun Factor App (or Fun Card Login on our website):

A Bit About Us

Our Story

🎳

From Kami-Bowl to The Fun Factor

Our building was originally constructed as a bowling alley in the 1960s — called Kami-Bowl. We purchased the facility in 1990 and converted it into The Fun Factor — Kamloops' first family entertainment centre.

Over the decades we've grown and evolved — adding laser tag, an arcade with the latest games, mini bowling (a return to our roots), the QBIX immersive room, Spin Zone bumper cars, and a modern Fun Card system that ditched tokens and paper tickets for something better.

Our facility is intentionally designed so adults can have an incredible time too — not just feel like they're stuck in a "kids place." That's why we see so many date nights, corporate events, sports teams, and adult parties alongside the family fun. We truly have something for everyone.

What hasn't changed: we're still locally owned and operated, still focused on creating real-world fun for families and groups in Kamloops, and still proud to be the place where birthdays, date nights, team outings, and after-tournament hangouts happen under one roof.

Frequently Asked

Questions & Answers

The questions we get asked most often. Don't see yours? Send us a message or call 250-554-5060.

Laser Tag: Strongly recommended. Rounds fill up, especially weekends and school holidays. Reserve online to lock your time.

Arcade, Bowling, Spin Zone, QBIX: No — walk-ins welcome any time during business hours.

Birthday Parties & Group Bookings (15+): Yes — book ahead to confirm date and coordination.

There's no entry fee — you only pay for the activities you do. Most guests choose a Fun Pass, which bundles arcade play and attraction access together for the best value. See full pricing →

We're great for ages 5 and up — and that includes adults! Most of our attractions have a 5+ recommendation, and we're popular for date nights, corporate events, and adult outings too. Younger kids can still enjoy mini bowling, easy arcade games, and the prize centre.

Closed-toe shoes are required for both laser tag and mini bowling. No sandals, flip-flops, or open-toed shoes for those attractions. Other attractions don't have specific footwear rules. Comfortable, athletic-friendly clothing is best for laser tag — you'll be moving!

Plan for about 2 hours — that's the typical visit length. A laser tag round runs about 15 minutes, arcade play is open-ended, and birthday parties are usually 2 hours. Walk-in visits are flexible, so stay as long as you're having fun.

Yes — outside food is welcome, but our seating area is limited and must be pre-reserved by contacting our event coordinator. Non-alcoholic outside drinks are okay any time. Birthday cakes are typically welcome for booked parties. Contact us to reserve seating →

We don't serve food on site, so you have full control over what your group eats. Bring whatever fits your dietary needs.

For party packages that include pizza, we can swap the pizza for additional game credits, and parents can bring food that meets their guests' needs instead.

As far ahead as possible. Preferred times — especially weekend afternoons — book up well in advance. Booking early gives you the best shot at the date and time you want.

→ Check party availability and book online

Personal photos and videos of your own group are absolutely welcome. Capture the laser tag wins, the bumper car chaos, the birthday smiles — go for it.

A few asks: photos of our staff need their permission first, and if you're shooting for any business or commercial use, please contact us first to get permission and coordinate.

Yes — we hold lost items for 30 days. To check on a lost item, please call us at 250-554-5060 or use our contact form with a description of what you're missing and when you visited.

Yes — group rates kick in at 15 guests or more. We can host groups up to 100 people, and full private facility take-overs are available for larger events. Get a custom quote →

Yes — free parking in our lot at 910 Tranquille Road. If the lot is full, overflow parking is available along 9th Street.

Yes — every guest playing laser tag needs a signed waiver. Waivers are valid for the day they're signed only and must be renewed each visit. You can sign online or at our in-store kiosk.

Pro tip: Sign online in advance to skip the line at the door — make sure everyone in your group does the same!

Guests under 18: All minors need to be added to a waiver under a responsible adult — typically a parent or guardian. The adult signs once and adds their kids to the same waiver.

Yes — open all holidays and long weekends, with one exception: we're closed on Christmas Day (December 25). Holiday hours sometimes vary slightly from regular hours, so check the homepage or call ahead on big holidays just to confirm.

Laser Tag: Ages 5+ recommended.

Spin Zone (Bumper Cars): Ages 5+ AND minimum 36" tall. The height requirement is for safety on the bumper cars.

QBIX, Mini Bowling, Arcade: All ages welcome.

Denny's is right next door — most popular choice for families. Beyond that, Tranquille Road has many great restaurant options within a short drive — pizza, sushi, fast food, and sit-down spots. Easy to combine with a visit.

Absolutely — we're right on the way to McArthur Island, where many tournaments play. Lots of teams stop by to unwind. For groups of 15+, contact us to reserve and get group pricing. Group bookings →

Yes — fully accessible. No stairs, ramps throughout, and our laser tag arena is accessible by wheelchair. Strollers are no problem.

If you have specific accessibility questions about your visit, please call us at 250-554-5060 and we'll happily help plan ahead.

For birthday parties: No cancellation fee. We do appreciate at least 48 hours notice if you need to cancel — that gives other families a chance to book your spot.

Deposits: No deposit required for standard birthday parties. Larger group bookings may require a deposit — we'll let you know during the booking process.

Need to cancel or change a booking? Call 250-554-5060 or email events@thefunfactor.ca.
