Waikīkī Beach Marriott Resort & Spa is giving guests and locals a new way to play with the debut of the ʻOhana Entertainment Center, a 6,000-square-foot entertainment destination located just off the resort lobby. Developed in partnership with Family Entertainment Group (FEG), the new venue is one of Waikīkī’s largest indoor entertainment venues, featuring more than 100 player positions across boutique bowling, virtual reality attractions, sports simulators and over 60 arcade games, creating a lively indoor gathering space for families, friends, groups and locals along Waikiki Beach.
“ʻOhana is more than the name of the venue, it’s the inspiration behind it,” said Mark Weatherill, General Manager of Waikīkī Beach Marriott Resort & Spa. “We’re proud to introduce a space that welcomes both our resort guests and the local community, giving families, friends, and groups a place to come together, share experiences, and create lasting memories. We believe great resorts should contribute to the communities they serve, and ʻOhana Entertainment Center is another way we’re investing in making Waikīkī a vibrant destination for everyone.”
ʻOhana Entertainment Center features four boutique bowling lanes, cutting-edge virtual reality attractions, and a mix of classic and modern arcade games, along with ticket redemption and instant-win prize games. Inspired by the Hawaiian concept of ʻohana, meaning family in all its forms, the space was designed to bring people together through friendly competition and shared experiences. The venue is also an ideal solution for groups and corporate events, offering a dynamic alternative to traditional meeting and teambuilding programming.
“Hawaii has quickly become an important part of FEG’s growth story, and the opening of ʻOhana Entertainment Center at Waikīkī Beach Marriott Resort & Spa is a proud reflection of that momentum,” said Rex Jackson, CEO of Family Entertainment Group. “Bringing world-class family entertainment to one of the most visited destinations on the planet, alongside a partner as exceptional as Waikīkī Beach Marriott, is exactly the kind of growth we’re focused on for FEG across the islands. We’re proud of what we’ve built here, and we look forward to continuing to invest in Hawaii in the years ahead.“
Whether guests are looking to unwind after a day at the beach, spend quality time with family, celebrate with friends or enjoy an evening of indoor entertainment, ʻOhana Entertainment Center offers something for every age. The venue also provides a unique option for meetings, incentive groups and social gatherings, complementing the resort’s event offerings with an energetic, interactive experience. Guests looking to make the most of their stay can also book the new ʻOhana Stay & Play Package, which includes a $100 game card to ʻOhana Entertainment Center for arcade games, boutique bowling and virtual reality adventures during their stay, as well as a branded swag bag filled with ‘Ohana-themed goodies.
The addition further expands Waikīkī Beach Marriott Resort & Spa’s lineup of guest experiences, joining favorites like the coveted Pāʻina Waikīkī Lūʻau, the expansive Queensbreak pool deck, oceanfront dining and spacious accommodations on the world famous Waikīkī Beach.
