  • Come with me as I take a walk down the boardwalk at Weirs Beach, New Hampshire, and visit The Half Moon Family Fun Center and the Games on the Pier arcades. If you've ever been to Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, odds are you have been to Weirs Beach. I've been going there since the early 1980's and love it. Along with the Funspot just up the road, this is probably the most arcade machines you will see in any one place! Good times!

    OH the memories.. It has been a couple decades since I last made a quick visit, .but then was a in and out type of visit nothing like the time i spent in the late 80's and early 90's there.... from morning till night. It was seriously the Las Vegas for children then..... When night approached and those neon lights popped....when you expected the place to wind down for the night....that is when it really picked up.. Hopefully when i finally get myself to do a proper visit again it still exists... I heard some of it shut down maybe it did or not but still what's shown in the video holds a lot of nostalgia...

      Good times! I think most of what was there is still open, as far as I know. I first went there in the 1980's and it looks pretty much the way I remember. I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching!

    I worked 5 summers at Pier Pizza late 70s and early 80s. Those were great times! I wonder how the guys are doing that I worked with?

      Sounds like that would have been a fun job. I used to go to Weirs Beach about once a year back in the 1980's. It really hasn't changed too much since then, which is a good thing. I hope to go back next summer and do a better video of the arcades and also Funspot. Thanks for watching!

    One of these arcades was Half Moon candlepin alleys decades ago. The Mount Washington used to dock here. By the 1980s Weirs Beach had become a popular biker hangout. I recall frequent gang dustups that police had to break up. Not exactly family friendly at the time. There were at least two bars. They're probably long gone by now.

      Oh yeh lots of bikers in the area.. Laconia in general is a biker hub or was idk but yeh i remember always parking in a lot on the fringe of the arcade blocks next to a biker bar maybe two as a kid. It absolutely was family friendly fun time back then well, at least the 80's version of it.

    I remember the robot cowboy that would draw guns in ya for a quarter. Way back in early 70 s

      Thanks for watching. I wish I had seen that robot cowboy. I'll bet they still have a few things that were there in the 1970's though.

    Yeah, cool place. Here in Germany we have nothing like that ; _ ;

      It's definitely a fun place. If I lived in the area, I would be there probably every weekend. I hope to go back next summer and get some better footage.
