Classic Fun Center

Took my daughter here, or tried to for her birthday. Arrived at 8:50 because on the website it says 12:00 to midnight. Nowhere on the website did it say that after 9pm that kids under 16 are not allowed to skate. So we were turned away. I would like to thank the owners for wasting our time and fuel to drive 40min just to learn that we couldn’t skate and that you omit important details from your website. Very disappointed.

Smelly chaos! Wow man, just wow. I am going to setup some bounce houses, empty ball pits, have kids ride broken scooters, and then hide dead animals in random places for others enjoyment.

Almost everything was perfect. This was an «old school fun» kind of place and it fulfilled every childhood memory. The only thing I don’t remember is the douchey Samoan kid behind the skate counter who was too busy to help me. Instead he found it necessary to play his ukulele and flirt with the local kine girls. Not cool bruddah, not cool. \\m//
Would have easily been 5 stars otherwise

An awesome place to go for hours of fun. I was visiting from San Diego with a group of friends and we decided to check this place out on a Saturday night. $ 15 for 3 hours of fun! Laser tag, bounce house, blast zone, video games and roller skating to some great old tunes. I love how it was 16 and older after 9pm, so we didn’t have to worry about trampling over toddlers. Although a few teens were rowdy and borderline risky/​dangerous in the rink. All-​in-​all my friends and I had a wonderful time being kids again. We come to Utah every year for snowboarding and we plan to make the classic fun center a part of our annual trip.
The one big complaint I did have was about a young man who worked at the roller skate counter. When I walked up to get my skates, he was busy flirting with a couple of girls and playing with a ukulele. He just stared at me, making it clear that I was interrupting him and he was annoyed. He did offer to get skates for me and my fiancé, but told my fiancé that they didn’t have his size (after reluctantly taking a look at their inventory). A minute or two later I decided to ask one of the other staff members, a young lady on the other side of the counter, and she immediately found skates in my fiancé’s size. Actually, there was more than one pair in his size.
Overall, super fun place to go. Can’t wait to go back!

Rolller skating to James Brown and Michael, YES.
Laser Tag without shoes, shooting alien heads and spaceships, YES.
Bounce houses with ball pits, YES.
Getting skates that were in pretty good condition, YES.
Blasting my friends right in the face with my foam ball gun, YES.
Sliding down a super scary, giant, red slide, YES.
Winning lots of tickets on the Kung Fu Panda game, YES.
Paying only $ 15 for all of that? YES!
Watching one of the staff boys flirt with girls and getting their twitter feed, instead of helping us with our request, HAELL NAW! Rude. Pshhh.
Definitely a place where you can feel like a kid again. I could see a lot of high school relationships potentially starting here. We are definitely making this an annual trip!

It’s a blast! Best kid’s birthday place in the valley. The Chuckecheese rat is crying himself to sleep at night hoping more folks don’t discover this gem. And weekends are a riot here, like Pleasure Island in Pinocchio. Kids constantly ask to go back, and many of the kids we’ve invited to parties end up hosting their own here as well. Parents can let loose and have a great time too. It’s kept pretty clean, not aged enough to bother me. And they’re pretty flexible with birthday parties. you can arrange an inexpensive birthday, or a pricier one with all the bells and whistles. Either way kids have a great time. We just reserve a couple of tables, order a couple of pizzas and let the kiddies go hog wild. The party rooms are unnecessary really. Pizzas here are kid worthy, not bad, brought piping hot. The highlight of the party is always the wind tunnel ticket grab at the end.
Regarding the activities, the skating is some of best I’ve done, and I grew up at the skate rink. Music is loud, DJ is good, floor is dimly lit but full of dancing lights and color. And the street track is a hit with older children. Kids can even bring their own scooters. 3-​D Laser tag, blast zone, bounce area, the jungle. all get rave reviews from little ones, but personally I have not partaken. We have only been during cold weather so I can’t comment on the summer water park.
«Dime» arcade is a misnomer, since all of the games take multiple tokens, some require a lot of ‘em. I hate to give away our ticket hoarding secret… play the harpoon fishing game, wait for the octopus to emerge from the chest. first to shoot it gets 800 tickets. Prizes at the ticket exchange are easily the best I’ve encountered.
I am taking off one star for the pricing. though they have weekday specials, they gouge people on the weekends. And saying it’s a «dime» arcade is misleading.
Sandy’s Classic Fun Center truly is great fun for kids and the young at heart, and especially anyone else who loves to see their kids smile.

This place is been a great place for my child when he was younger but as far as the pricing it is extremely overpriced for three hours. And the games it takes 1 million tokens to play the games. There’s one game in particular that cost 10 tokens to play it once. Overall it’s fun. But they need a little more customer service skills when it comes to the food and cleaning.

We have had several birthday parties here. We bought the dollar days pass this summer. Lots of activities to do lots of hours of fun for the kids all year round. There pizza and munchies are not bad. The prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly and is always happy and helpful.

Classic has been around since I was the age my kids are now. A few things have changed about it but the basic concept is the same. It is a lot of fun for what you pay to play. They have a different deal everyday so make sure to check the website to find out what deal it is for the day you want to go.
They have two different areas to skate. Be aware the skate rental is not included in the price. I am pretty sure you can bring scooters in. You can always bring your own skates in.
They also have bounce houses and a climbing jungle. The bounce houses are really big and super fun. The jungle is a little harder for the little kids to navigate but my 5 year old loves it. They have a few other activities like laser tag but we have never done them.
We just recently rented a party room there for my 11 year olds birthday party. We got the karaōke room. It was such a great value. It was only $ 10 an hour! They had a lot of great song options for them to sing. The best part is that you don’t have to book a birthday party if you want to book the room. We went on a Tuesday so every activity was just $ 2. We payed for the kids to go swimming and do the water slides. It was the least expensive party we have done in a long time. The kids had a blast!
I didn’t give it 5 stars because it does need some updating and it feels a little dirty. They could definitely benefit from sprucing the place up a bit. All and all though it’s a fun place and we will be back.

This place gets 5 stars for the value and sheer *quantity* of fun to be had. I feel like my 8 and 5 year old boys could stay here for a week and not get bored. With arcade games, bounce houses we’ve never seen, water slides, roller skating with scooters allowed (BYO or rentals available), a huge enclosed ball blasting area, laser tag, multi-​level jungle climber… it’s like the only things this place *doesn’t* have is bowling lanes and a movie theater.
It’s probably ideal for ages 5 and up, but I also saw littler ones having a blast. A cool plus is that they allow you to bring your own food as long as it’s not pizza (since they sell that).
Definitely look for online deals on their website. We got a summer day pass — just $ 10 for 3 hours of unlimited fun + 40 tokens… screamin’ deal!
My kids were disappointed they didn’t actually have any 3-​D glasses for laser tag as stated on the website. Also, the zip line was too tall for them to reach on their own… would be nice if they but everything else they were super-​excited about.
I took one star off b/​c it’s definitely got an older feel… and not exactly luxurious for waiting parents (mostly plastic picnic benches). Would be nice to have power outlets available (I did fine a single one at a booth by the skate rink). They do have wi-​fi, though. In my dream world, places like this would offer FAR better food options, but I know that’s asking way too much.

I was thinking water park, but it’s actually just 3 slides and a jumper. The kids loved it! That’s all that matterrs. They offer $ 1 shaved ice which was perfect in the heat. The“older” staff was nicer, but I think that was just maturity! Bring a blanket for the grass though! Good times!

When you have kids in daycares and schools in Sandy, one of them will bound to have an event at the Classic Fun Center throughout the year, which usually ends up with a lot of whining for you to bring them here. On the bright side, special events usually waive the entrance fee as well.
The facility seems rather rundown, as the equipment will give you that 80−90s feel, only thing missing was people wearing pink and guys with long hair. The main entertainment here seem to be the skating ring, only the skate and scooter rental costs money, so many people bring their own especially for special events. They also have a jungle area with slides and climbing activities available, which was literally like a jungle with untamed kids running wild without parents. They also have a laser tag space here, but I have never been inside, and it seems to be mostly kids in there.
The food they offered here was a disaster… You do however get a discount with events, even then was still be a bit overpriced for frozen quality pizzas. They have an outdoor water slide available during summer, and I have been told the quality was quite bad by one of the employee there who does not recommend it. Most of the staff consist of high school or college age kids, they all seem to have a frown face and «I hate my job» written over their faces. I guess this place provides cheap entertainments for the typical Utah families.

Had my kid’s birthday party at classic today. Everyone had a great time, but the hostess charged us 760.00 for a 176.00 charge! My funds were not available for 3 business days after. CHECK YOUR RECIPTS!

This place is fun, much different from the classic skating that I remember as a kid. Still just as cheesy and overpriced add I remember though. I can get better food from a high school cafeteria really. I like that they’ve added railings for kids who can’t skate but I don’t like how lax they’ve gotten about skating in the wrong direction and how many people were walking on the skating rink with shoes and strollers. And trying to sell sunglasses on the rink during skating times? Really classic? Thought you were better than this.

Kids loved it here! I recently brought my 5 year and 4 of his little buddies old for his brithday and they had a blast! We even took them into the laser tag area and they enjoyed it. Not sure if they got competitive with it but they loved carrying the gun and wearing the vest!
We didn’t get to skate but next time we’ll be bringing scooters. The kids spent a lot of time in the bouncy houses and jumping off into a pool of foam, and also liked The Jungle area. I came a weekday, to avoid the crowds. It fills up fast! I’d recommend to come early and leave early, especially for younger kids. Not sure how it is on weekends, or evenings but I bet it gets pretty crazy! Make sure you tell your kids where to go if they get lost. It can be hard to keep track of them all going in and out. Staff was friendly but they don’t go above and beyond, just normal helpful. Either way, keep an eye on your kids at all times!

You can’t beat the prices. Waterslides, skating, arcade, bouncers… all for $ 7.50! The kids love this place. Its a great inexpensive way to spend the day. Note: Waterslides don’t open until noon which is a bit later than like and they could use more umbrellas for shade. But overall a clean fun place.

I feel that I needed to comment and contradict all the haters. This place was freaking awesome. We brought our daughter for her sixth birthday. We didn’t do a birthday package or anything we just came to play and honestly our group of thirty somethings had as much fun if not more than the kids. The staff was friendly and helpful, we were even contemplating playing laser tag but they warned us that it might be scary for the young kids. To help us make up our minds they actually took us into the laser tag area so that we could preview it.
The hours flew by and the grown ups were not ready to leave when it came time.
The pass we got was unlimited use of the roller skating, bounce area and jungle gym and any one of the areas would have been worth what we paid. Coming here is going to become a regular thing whenever we come to Salt Lake. I just wish that they had one of these where I live.

They took great care of us with our youth group. It is confusing that skate rental does not come with the skate entrance fee. I just wish that was better explained.

In the past year I have been to a ton of 4– 5– 6– year-​old birthday parties and this was THE WORST venue I have yet experienced. It feels small and they pack way too many people into the small space. It is loud, dirty, and smells. The staff are ok, it really depends on who you get; the first girl was apathetic and gave me the wrong party package, the second girl corrected it.
The food (pizza) is blah. Equivalent to the store-​brand frozen pizza.
Probably my worst complaint are the bathrooms. What kind of business packs in hundreds of people and only has a two stall bathroom with one sink?!? You will find yourself waiting in line twice — once for the toilet and one for the sink.
There are other better venues for kids birthday parties. My favorite is the come-​to-​you exotic animal and zoology show by Wild Things. See my review for more info on them, they really are great.
Now, having said all that… the kids did have fun running around wild and they liked the play areas. But I did not see a single adult who was happy to be there.

This place was the spot in middle school! And they had Big Bertha… I hope she’s still there. Basically, you toss meatballs into this woman’s mouth and she gets fat, and you win tickets based on her obesity.
Honestly, what is more inspiring than that?
I’ll tell you what. Thirteen year old girls singing karaōke to Backstreet Boys and Celine Dion for a kid’s party. Oh, we had such dreams and aspirations! What hell happened?
Any who… if this place is the same as it was a little over ten years ago, parents should feel safe to leave their middle schoolers WITH FRIENDS alone to have a good time. Many a first-hand-held’s and two week romances started on the roller rink here, but that was about as sketchy as it ever got. There’s a lot for the kiddies to do, and it’s fairly inexpensive.
