Fun Friday Clarkston is back—and your family’s Friday night just got easier. If you’re looking for a kid‑friendly show, simple logistics and dinner in one place, this guide covers what to expect, how to plan your evening and where pizza fits in perfectly.
What is Fun Friday at The Fun Place?
Fun Friday is The Fun Place’s recurring family stage experience in Clarkston—live, upbeat entertainment designed with young kids and their grown‑ups in mind. It all happens indoors on our theater stage, right inside the same building as our indoor playground, arcade and pizza cafe.
- Indoor, weather‑proof fun in Clarkston
- Kid‑centric pacing and playful energy
- Easy add‑ons: pizza, snacks and time to play before/after your show

Fun Friday Clarkston: what to expect on show night
Here’s how to make the evening smooth, even with little ones:
- Aim to arrive a little early. Give yourselves a few extra minutes for parking, check‑in and bathroom breaks before the lights go down.
- Keep hands free. A small crossbody or backpack makes it easier to hold hands and navigate.
- Build in wiggle breaks. If your kiddo needs a quick reset, step into the lobby and rejoin when they’re ready—no stress.
- Photo moments. You’ll often find fun backdrops in the lobby; snap a quick family pic before the show starts.
Parking and arrival tips for Clarkston parents
- Plan buffer time. Friday evenings can be busy around town. A 20–25 minute cushion goes a long way.
- Follow on‑site signage. When you arrive, look for The Fun Place entrance and check in at the front desk with tickets ready.
- Carpool when possible. Riding with friends reduces parking stress and makes the night more fun for kids.
If you have accessibility or mobility needs, ask a team member when you arrive—we’re happy to help you get settled comfortably.
Pizza + a show: the easiest family night combo
Our on‑site pizza cafe means dinner and a show without extra driving.
Ordering tips
- Order before the show. If you arrive a bit early, place your pizza order ahead so it’s ready before curtain or right after.
- Shareable wins. One or two pies and a couple drinks often keep things simple (and budget‑friendly) for families and friend groups.
- Keep it kid‑sized. If your child is a light eater during excitement, plan a small slice before the show and a snack after.
Hydration note: Lidded drinks are your friend during an energetic family night.
Make it a full Fun Place day
Want to stretch the smiles?
- Pair your show with open play. Come earlier in the day for the indoor playground and arcade, then wind down with the evening performance.
- Celebrate a milestone. If your child’s birthday or big accomplishment lands on a Friday, a show night plus pizza makes for a memorable mini‑celebration.
Not sure what timing works best for your family? Start with the show you’re most excited about and add play or food on either side as energy allows.
Comfort tips for little showgoers
- Sound sensitivity: Pack child‑sized headphones if your kid prefers softer volume.
- Familiar comforts: A favorite small fidget or plush can help new-to-theater kids settle in.
- Layers: Indoor venues can feel warmer or cooler depending on the crowd—light layers keep everyone comfy.
