Asheville Fun Depot
Come see why the International Association of Amusement Parks & Attractions named Asheville's Fun Depot a 2004 & 2005 Top Family Entertainment Center in the World award winner! A traditional arcade blended with more hi-tech attractions such as laser tag, mini bowling, bumper cars, and go-carts, we're perfect for every age. You'll also find an 18 hole indoor mini-golf, a 24-foot climbing wall, soft play area and batting cages. Our Depot Diner serves made-to-order items such as salads and wraps along with burgers, pizza and more.
Splashville Sprayground
Excellent attraction for the little ones on a hot summer day. Our kids love it! Located in Pack Square in the heart of Downtown Asheville. Put on the kids swimsuits and let them run around in the fountains. Rubber soles and towels recommended.
