Celebration Station

What Celebration Station does

Celebration Station is a private, multi-location family entertainment center (FEC) chain founded in 1990 and headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The company operates five physical parks across five U.S. states — Baton Rouge (LA), Clearwater (FL), Greensboro (NC), Mesquite (TX), and Oklahoma City (OK) — each offering a standardized mix of 7-9 attractions including go-karts (with companion kid-karts), 18-hole miniature golf, laser tag arenas, bumper boats, batting cages, arcade rooms (53-84 games per park), Eurobungy trampolines, and Playland rides for younger children. Celebration Station is a wholly-owned brand within the Five Star Parks & Attractions portfolio, which also operates sister FEC brands such as Fun Land, Scene75, Branson Tracks, and Lazerport.

The business generates revenue through five primary streams: per-use attraction and arcade fees (e.g., $9-$14 per go-kart or mini golf round), birthday party packages ranging from $17.99 to $50.99 per child with event space, food, and game play included, food and beverage concessions anchored by pizza and combo deals, corporate and group event packages priced from $19.99 to $49.99 per person plus facility buyouts, and the $89.95 Summer Seasons Pass for unlimited summer access. Go-to-market is predominantly direct-to-consumer at each park, supplemented by a CenterEdge Online booking platform, email newsletter (E-Club), social media presence, and dedicated location-level sales managers handling corporate, school, and group bookings. No mobile app, AI features, or disclosed funding are present in the data.
