SCOTTIES FUN SPOT, INC.

What SCOTTIES FUN SPOT, INC. does

SCOTTIES FUN SPOT, INC. is a family-owned, single-location family entertainment center (FEC) founded in 1936 by Albert R. (Scottie) Scott, now operating from 8000 Broadway St, Quincy, Illinois under three generations of family ownership. The company claims to be the longest family-owned roller skating rink in the country and operates from a 2+ acre facility that anchors a multi-attraction portfolio including roller skating, electric go-karts (Fun Spot Speedway, added 2012), a 4,000 sq ft laser tag arena, indoor bumper cars, a ~65-game arcade, the patented Ballocity/Ball-O-City indoor playground, a 19-hole outdoor mini-golf course (2017), a 9-hole Pirates Treasure Cosmic Golf indoor course (2023), two lanes of mini-bowling, and a standalone Beat Saber VR installation (2020). On-site Winners Grill provides food and beverage service including select adult beverages (3-drink limit).

The business serves four primary customer segments: family birthday parties (the dominant use case, with five package tiers from $165 to $350 and over 40 years of party-hosting experience), corporate and group events (50-450+ guests, including General Mills' annual Halloween event), church/youth/scout organizations, and walk-in general-public families from the tri-state area (IL/MO/IA). Revenue mechanics are predominantly unit-pricing and transactional: $7 per major attraction, $27 day pass, volume bundles (3 attractions $18, 6 attractions $32, 10 attractions $50) with up to 29% discount, plus unlimited-day passes for skating and Ball-O-City. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the physical facility (Friday-Sunday core schedule, Thursdays added for summer from May 28, 2026), an online booking system, an SMS keyword ("Text Fun Spot to 82888"), Constant Contact email list, Facebook, and a U-Haul dealership on-site since August 2015 that brings incremental foot traffic. There is no disclosed proprietary software platform, no AI/ML capability, and no external funding; the technology stack is primarily physical attractions plus off-the-shelf digital tools (online booking widget, gift card portal, email/SMS marketing). The company won the Roller Skating Association's Best Family Entertainment Facility (2012) and Best TV Commercial (2013), and Reader's Choice Best Family Fun Destination in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019.
