The Old Fun Station

On September 23rd, the Fun Station announced that their current Cedar Rapids location will be closing in the very near future. The post reads:

"For over 32 years this location has welcomed millions of guests through the doors and we know that our original location is a special place to many of you. Which is why we wanted to make sure we gave everyone enough time to experience this location one more time before it closes. The official last day of operation at this location is on Sunday, October 5."

The Fun Station opened at 200 Collins Rd NE back in 1993, but the building has been around even longer. That was one of the reasons that the owners decided to relocate. The website says that the age and size of the Cedar Rapids Fun Station made it impossible to have the wide-variety of attractions that their Dubuque and Quad Cities have.

The website also notes that all existing Fun Station memberships will automatically transfer over to the new location, and any gift cards purchased at the old facility will be valid at the new one.
