Gizmo's Fun Factory, Orland Park

Anyone ready for some fun? Gizmo's Fun Factory specializes in it, with 47,000 square feet filled with 70 arcade games, seven party rooms, and seven major attractions. The fun center also features activities for toddlers and offers events for children with special needs. Some of the major attractions include:

• Ratchets & Ropes with Zipline: This adrenaline-powered activity features a three-story climbing and ropes course with an array of platforms. Participants fly over the room and test their balance with ropes and planks.
• Widget Whirl (Bumper Cars): Drivers hop in a car, bump others, and send them spinning.
• Junkyard Motors: Race to the finish line on this 14,000-square-foot go-kart track. Guests drive as fast as they can and take turns as quickly as they dare while competing with friends for first place.
• Tinker Tot Toyland: Kids 54 inches and shorter can enjoy four stories worth of fun with tube slides, obstacle courses, and multilevel platforms, all while dodging foam balls thrown by family and friends.
• Robot Laser Tag Revolt: In this game that takes place across two floors, participants gear up and battle against robots gone rogue while navigating through the fog and glowing black lights.
• Off-The-Wall (Climbing Walls): Participants take on a variety of challenges on a 29-foot wall. The Speed Climb focuses on footwork while the Big Cheese tests wit and sanity.
