Has anyone ever been to Fun City in Burlington Iowa? Was your stay pleasent? Was it cheap? Was it clen and fun

Question

Clean and fun?

Answer 1

We have our family reunion there every year.  Rooms are typical and clean however cost is about $255 for a weekend.  Each room has a microwave and refrigerator.  They have regular rooms and bunk rooms which sleep 8 or more.  Ask about deals because ours came with $40 in fun cash which can be spent on everything except food.  

Fun city is not a cheap weekend but it's loads of fun but worth it.

What we do is bring our own food in coolers.  This time we also brought crock pots and had pocket taco's (bag of frito's, taco meat and trimmings then eat out of the bag, Italian beef, and chili, chips, fruit, etc.  We brought bagels and muffins for breakfast but you could go all out if you brought an electric skillet.  Believe me all the trouble of cooking your own is worth saving the money.  Meals are expensive there.  They do have a very nice large hot buffet breakfast by the casino but it too is very expensive.  I would however recommend that you get one of their mondo pizzas of 28"   They can make it with a variety of toppings.    

Activities:

They have a large arcade area that you'll need fun cards for.  These cards work for everything at fun city and you can put whatever money you want on them.  They have a variety of racing games and some other typical ones.  They also have token games which can earn you tickets that you can buy prizes with.  Next to the arcade is a laser tag area, flight simulator, driving simulator and 3d movie ride.  On the other side is a go cart track.  Each race is $5 and they have cars for younger kids to drive.  They also have a large bowling alley where they do moonlight bowling with neon balls (very fun).  Attached to the hotel is an indoor water park.  There they have a climbing wall, very large zero depth pool with slides and dumping bucket for younger kids, two large water slides, very small swimming area and a large jacuzzi.  If you go when the weather is warmer they have a new outdoor water park with 4-5 large slides, large pool and another smaller kids pool with slides.  

Again it was fun but it can be very expensive.  My kids know they only get a certain amount of money to spend and we try to do a couple rounds of go carts, 1 game of bowling and then spend the rest of our time at the pool.
