New place in town: Family deal - fun for all

Fun City offers exhilarating rides and food joints with day care facilities, promising a grand time out for all.

ISLAMABAD: Working parents often complain of having little time on their hands, making it hard to look for a suitable hangout spot for the entire household. Fun City, which recently opened at the Centaurus Mall, is an entertainment centre that promises fun for children and parents alike.

Fun City is a dream come true for all those longing to visit theme parks and dreaming of experiencing the thrill for themselves. The merry-go-round with traditional animal mounts, golden twist poles and fairy lights is a major attraction.



Painted with bright coloured ponies and stallions, the carousel also has carriages with ample of space for everyone to fit in. The swirling crazy twister is perhaps the most thrilling ride on offer, whirling while taking you higher up and dropping you.

While there are battery-charged cars for kids, older ones can enjoy rides on the bumper cars.

With Disney-inspired theme parties for birthdays and get-togethers, Fun City is equipped with high-tech rides and games brought in from across the globe.

Attendants ensure toddlers’ safety by guiding and helping children at every step. Most mothers avoid taking their young ones out because play lands usually lack babysitting or day care facilities, but Fun City takes this into account also. And let’s not forget the food.

Freshly cooked and absolutely scrumptious food is whipped up at Mrs Mayor Café and Fun Bakery located here.

Mr Mayor, the mayor of Fun City, loves giving free rides and candies to children. Under their One Good Heart initiative, the mayor invites children from orphanages to enjoy all they can at Fun City. They also arrange a baking activity under their corporate social responsibility programme, “Mayor’s Little Workers Union,” in which students bake cookies for the less privileged.

Fun City ensures that the facilities at their venue meet international safety rules. This fact addresses the concerns of parents like me, who often avoid parks due to lack of security and facilities.
