A comprehensive list of suppliers can be found in the Blooloop directory.

Family entertainment centres invest in a wide range of equipment and technology. Adventure playgrounds, climbing walls, trampolines, mini-golf, zip lines, and other attractions can be used to attract a diverse audience of all ages and interests.

Increasingly, FECs feature immersive elements such as virtual reality (VR) experiences. These often offer a strong ROI thanks to high throughput, strong repeatability, low staff requirements and a compact footprint. Sports simulators and arcade games, provide competitive fun for all ages, while flying theatres, 4D and dome experiences offer memorable experiences.

Attraction providers frequently work with FECs to customise their offers to meet the specific themes and needs of each venue. In addition, FECs may work with theming specialists to create an engaging environment where families will wish to spend their time. Retail and food offers complement the overall experience.

Such requirements might include ticketing and access systems, cashless technologies, digital signage, point-of-sale (POS), and customer relationship management (CRM) systems.
