Bigger, Better Fun Fore All Reopening

Popular family entertainment center to celebrate its major expansion Friday.

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA - They didn’t rename the place Funner For All, but perhaps they should have. Because Fun Fore All, the popular family entertainment and recreation center, has much more to offer guests than it formerly did following a major expansion.

That will be readily apparent to those going to the center’s grand reopening on April 14 that caps a seven-month effort resulting in a 4,000 square-foot interior addition, a new front counter, a new prize store, new restrooms and a new indoor attraction called the XD Dark Ride.

β€œA lot of people have been working very hard to make sure that we offer the best possible family fun destination in the area,” owner Chris Camp said. β€œOur grand reopening will not only be a great day, it will begin a new era of family fun for the entire tri-state area.”

The expansion’s piece de resistance is the region's only XD Dark Ride, which provides patrons with a unique adventure using state-of-the-art three-dimensional graphics and visual effects. Camp called it β€œan attraction like no other.”

β€œIt’s not just a ride. It’s not just a game,” he said. β€œIt truly is an experience.”
