New to the north side of Grand Haven is the video arcade Grand Fun! My wife and I dropped in during their “soft open” on April 6^th and so enjoyed ourselves we immediately made plans to return with friends the next weekend.

Owned by Grand Haven residents Tim and Sara Pokorski, Grand Fun! is a multi-purpose entertainment facility that offers a wide variety of arcade games in a safe and welcoming environment with rooms available for birthday parties and other events. Come hungry because Grand Fun! also offers mouth-watering hot snacks like pizza, mozzarella sticks, and mac & cheese.

My favorite activity is the mini bowling. Normally my bowling score resembles that of a seasoned golf pro. Not here! And after this group of “fifty-somethings” racked up our best bowling scores in years, we challenged each other on motorcycles and race cars, shot at dinosaurs and zombies, and even did a little fishing. Once we worked up an appetite, we snacked on a delicious, massive hot pretzel, dipping it in nacho and queso cheese sauces (with other flavors available). Yum!

Even though we racked up enough virtual tickets to win a decent reward from the prize store, we opted to register our game card and return to accumulate more tickets for a bigger and better prize. (That adorable Bob Ross doll WILL be mine!)
