The Fun Station Quad Cities operates in the Quad Cities metro, listed at Eldridge, Iowa, just north of Davenport along the Iowa-Illinois border. It stands as one of the region’s largest indoor family entertainment centers — a venue where arcade play is part of a much larger mix of attractions.
For visitors comparing the local gaming scene, the venue sits alongside other Quad Cities options like Dave & Buster’s Davenport, Malibu Jack’s Quad Cities, and PixelJoy Arcade, each offering its own flavor of family-friendly play. The RetroArcade.com arcade finder directory and interactive arcade map catalog these and other nearby venues.
While the venue carries an “arcade” classification in this directory, the on-the-ground experience reads more like a multi-attraction complex — colorful, busy, and built for active family outings rather than a focused cabinet-gaming session.

What Players Say
Reviewers consistently highlight the sheer variety of activities at The Fun Station Quad Cities. With 42 mentions backing up the theme, one Google reviewer captured it succinctly: “Trampolines, bumper cars, slides, high jumps, foam pits, arcade games, basketball trampoline area and so much more.” Cleanliness and the modern feel of the facility also draw positive notes, with 18 reviewers describing it as “Clean, bright and modern.”
The birthday party experience is another strong point, with 14 mentions praising the all-inclusive setup. One Google review noted: “Booked bday party here. Werth every penny everything included and kids stayed busy.” Weekday pricing and online deals also earn high marks — a Google review highlighted “$5.00 Mondays! Best deal in town!” with 10 mentions tied to deals and discounts overall.
Several recurring drawbacks are worth planning around. Admission and food prices draw 30 mixed mentions and 28 mixed mentions respectively, with one Google reviewer writing “the food prices are insanely high” and another advising “don’t let the prices scare you off…I believe it is worth it.” Crowds and understaffing on busy weekends produce the most consistent complaints: 15 negative mentions around capacity and 25 mixed mentions around staffing, including a reviewer who observed that “The kids that work here are more concerned with laughing and gossiping with each other.” Families with very young children should be aware of 12 mixed-sentiment mentions flagging limited designated toddler space.
Games & Machines
The Fun Station Quad Cities operates more as a multi-attraction amusement center than a dedicated arcade floor, and a detailed hardware inventory isn’t available in the current records. Visitors describe an “arcade games” area as part of the larger complex, but specific cabinet lineups, pinball machines, redemption games, and prize inventories aren’t documented here. For a focused classic, pinball, or cabinet-gaming session, the RetroArcade.com arcade finder directory can surface a better match, while nearby options like Malibu Jack’s Quad Cities and PixelJoy Arcade specialize more narrowly in cabinet play.
Visiting
The Fun Station Quad Cities is located in Eldridge, Iowa, just north of Davenport. Weekly hours run Monday through Friday from 11 AM to 7 PM, Saturdays from 10 AM to 7 PM, and Sundays from 11 AM to 5 PM. The phone line for current pricing, party bookings, and group reservations is +1 563-559-7200, and the official website at gofunstation.com lists current admission deals and event packages — including the frequently cited $5 Monday deal.
Food and drink are available on-site, though the volume of mixed feedback around concession pricing suggests budgeting ahead or eating before arrival. Birthday parties appear to be a core offering based on visitor feedback, with the venue commonly booked for group events and celebrations. Parents of toddlers should plan supervision carefully given the mixed feedback about very young children in the larger play space. Parking is available on-site, though three reviewers described weekend parking as tight when the facility is near capacity.
