Funspot is a super cool arcade located in Weirs Beach, Laconia, New Hampshire, in the United States. It's so big that Guinness World Records calls it the world's largest arcade!

Many of the games you'll find at Funspot are part of the American Classic Arcade Museum (ACAM). This museum is a non-profit group on Funspot's second floor. Their main goal is to "promote and preserve the history of coin-operated arcade games." This means they work hard to keep old, classic arcade games working so people can still play them and learn about their history.
