About
Fun Factory at Kamehameha Shopping Center is one of two Fun Factory arcade locations on Oahu — this one serving the Liliha-Kapalama neighborhood rather than the tourist corridors. For Honolulu families in the north Honolulu area, this location is the accessible, community-oriented option that avoids the crowds and parking challenges of Ala Moana or Kahala.
The fun factory concept is straightforward: a card-based arcade and redemption center with classic video games, prize counters, and the social energy that comes from a community entertainment destination that local families actually use. Kids aged 5-16 find the arcade format broadly appealing.
Open until 10PM on Fridays and Saturdays, Fun Factory Kamehameha is a viable after-dinner family activity for north Honolulu residents or visitors in that area. The game card credit system means unused credits carry over — a practical benefit for families who visit repeatedly.
Set a per-child budget for arcade credits before you walk in. The ticket redemption counter is a highlight for younger kids who enjoy the prize selection.
