About
Fun Factory at Windward Mall is the go-to indoor entertainment option for families on Oahu's Windward side. Kaneohe and Kailua families know this spot well — it's where you go on rainy afternoons, after school, or when you need something to do that isn't another beach trip.
The game selection mirrors the Mililani location: ticket-redemption machines (skee-ball, basketball, spin-to-win), video arcade cabinets, and the inevitable claw machines that kids are convinced they can beat. The Fun Card system keeps spending predictable — load a set amount, let kids play until the card runs out, then head to the redemption counter to cash in tickets.
The Windward Mall setting adds practical convenience. Free mall parking, a food court with local options, and a Macy's and Target nearby make it easy to turn an arcade visit into a full afternoon outing. The L&L Hawaiian Barbecue in the food court is a good affordable lunch option that gives families a taste of local plate lunch culture.
For families visiting the Windward side of Oahu — particularly those based in Kailua or Kaneohe — Fun Factory Windward Mall is the closest indoor entertainment option that can handle bad weather and full-energy kids simultaneously.
