About the Venue

Fun Factory Hilo is a long-running indoor family entertainment option at Waiakea Center, centered on arcade games, prize play, cranes, and kiddie rides. It is a better match for older kids and mixed-age families than for toddlers seeking a contained soft-play environment. For Hilo families who want a weather-proof outing with broad age appeal, it is a useful all-purpose fallback.
