FunZone

What FunZone does

FunZone, operated by Family Leisure Company B.V., is a Netherlands-based multi-location indoor entertainment company operating 14 venues across the country. The company offers a portfolio of activity types under one brand: indoor playgrounds (Binnenspeeltuin), trampoline parks, glow-in-the-dark minigolf, lasergame, bowling, squash, and a Bounce Valley attraction. Its proprietary Okke & Pi mascots anchor brand identity for the 0-12 child target segment and extend into a YouTube channel and in-app games. The technology stack comprises an online booking platform (reserveren.funzone.nl), iOS and Android mobile apps with QR code scanning, an RFID-based interactive game (Okke Tag), and a narrowcasting digital signage network used both for in-venue content and B2B advertising.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model. Consumer revenue is generated primarily through one-time admissions and entrance fees, supplemented by customized children's birthday party packages, school trip packages (minimum 15 participants), private venue rentals, and gift cards ranging from €5 to €50. Recurring revenue is sourced from a monthly subscription tier with cancellable terms, the Fun Points loyalty program (300-point signup bonus, 5 extra points per visit, referral bonuses), and an annual B2B narrowcasting advertising product priced from €120 to €1,000 per location per year depending on screen count and venue size. The company employs 300+ staff and serves families, schools, corporate clients, community groups, and B2B advertisers.

FunZone was formed in 2023 via a management buyout of leisure activities from Optisport, consolidating prior brands (Optisport, Avontura) under the FunZone name. The company acquired Zippa Zebra Hoogeveen the same year and has since expanded its product surface with the subscription tier, narrowcasting platform, and mobile app. Operations are entirely domestic, with no disclosed international footprint or external institutional investment.
