Scandia Fun Center brings a family amusement park experience to Sacramento, California. With its playful Viking and Nordic theme — cartoon Viking mascots, a castle silhouette, and a Viking-ship-style ride — the venue leans into a cheerful, kid-friendly atmosphere that has made it a long-running option for local families and visitors to the Sacramento region.
Officially branded as Scandia Family Fun Center, the property combines rides, mini golf, group-event spaces, and a small arcade area under one roof. A recent addition is the Norway Flyer, a Viking ship-style ride that has just opened at the Sacramento location, giving regulars a fresh reason to return. The venue publishes its phone line and a Sacramento-specific website, plus Facebook and Twitter profiles, for guests planning group outings or birthday celebrations.
It is worth noting that this listing is best understood as a family amusement center rather than a retro arcade or barcade. Visitors looking for a traditional video-game-focused room may want to compare Sacramento’s other gaming venues, including Coin-Op Game Room in the city or Dave & Buster’s Roseville nearby in Roseville.

What Players Say
Across nearly 2,900 Google reviews, several clear themes emerge. The most consistent positive signal is mini golf and the broader family atmosphere, while staffing and ride availability draw the most consistent criticism.
- Mini golf courses (positive): Highlighted as the standout activity. “Mini golf was so fun. I was on a date and we had a blast” — Google review.
- Kid-friendliness and family atmosphere (positive): A consistent strength across reviews. “Still a fun experience for kids and adults alike” — Google review.
- Pricing and value (mixed): Visitors split on cost relative to offerings. “the prices are low and the amount of entertainment you get is high” — Google review.
- Service and staff demeanor (mixed): Often praised but occasionally inconsistent. “Workers were patient and helpful” — Google review.
- Facility condition and upkeep (mixed): Seen as dated but still enjoyable. “It is outdated, but it’s still fun!” — Google review.
- Staffing levels and ride availability (negative): A recurring frustration. “only got to ride 2 rides because they did not have enough employees to work the rides” — Google review.
- Crowds and wait times (mixed): Generally manageable on the days guests visited. “super short lines” — Google review.
- Arcade game selection and condition (mixed): The arcade area exists but is not the headline draw. “Upgraded games have been added to their arcade since the last time I have visited” — Google review.
- Party room and birthday party hosting (mixed): Reasonable for budget planners. “It’s free to reserve the party room for 1.5hrs but you have to bring your own decorations and food” — Google review.
- Parking and accessibility (mixed): Limited accessibility flagged by guests. “they only have one space and the golf course has some stairs that someone in a wheelchair would not be able to access” — Google review.
Games & Machines
The venue’s homepage does not enumerate a specific machine list, so individual cabinet or pinball titles are not documented in the available listing data. Based on the venue type and guest feedback, the arcade area sits alongside the broader amusement-center offerings — rides and mini golf — rather than standing alone as the primary attraction. Reviews note that arcade games have been upgraded between visits, suggesting an active refresh of the game floor over time, but no signature titles or pricing model are publicly listed.
Visiting
Scandia Fun Center is located in Sacramento, California, and is presented on the homepage as a family amusement center rather than an arcade-first venue. Doors run 10 AM to 10 PM on Monday through Thursday and Sunday, extending to 11:30 PM on Friday and Saturday nights, giving evening visitors a slightly wider window on weekends.
The venue is oriented toward families and large groups, with group events and education programs listed as featured offerings. The age policy is described as family-oriented, with specific age restrictions not stated on the homepage. Alcohol is not served on site, and no food-and-drink program is referenced in the available listing data, so guests should plan accordingly.
Parties booking is available through the venue’s website navigation, and accepted payments include Visa and MasterCard, with an ATM on site for cash needs. Accessibility details are not documented in the current listing, which matches guest feedback noting a limited accessibility footprint. For owners who want to update these details, the claim your listing page is the place to start.
