A Revisit to the Enigmatic Fun Factory

, 5 Comments on A Revisit to the Enigmatic Fun Factory

UPDATE: The Redondo Beach Fun Factory closed October, 2019.

Last year we visited the Redondo Fun Factory located on the Redondo Beach Pier after hearing news it would be closing. Over a year later the bizarre Fun Factory, with its eclectic variety of games and collection of odd signs, is still operating, but now has a large banner reading “Open Until December 2019.” With summer coming to an end some of my friends and I went for an evening of mechanized amusement and Tilt-A-Whirl rides along the pier.

    • It’s for sure different than a Disney experiences for sure! It borders on shady if I’m honest, but I love a good totally weird place!

  3. Ah, Fun Factory, home of some of my best high school memories. I keep hearing about them finally closing it, but it always seems to hold on a little longer. One can only hope they can hold out forever. Have you ever got one of the surprise prize bags? They are always a gem, hahaha.
