Funlab to open Holey Moley and Hijinx Hotel attractions in Canberra

Funlab to open Holey Moley and Hijinx Hotel attractions in Canberra
February 28, 2024

Funlab is to enter the Canberra entertainment market, with the opening of two new attractions at the Canberra Centre on 5th April.

Set to be located in the largest shopping centre in the north of the ACT, Holey Moley and Hijinx Hotel will present a 350-person capacity precinct with four function rooms, karaoke, two themed bars, 18 holes of mini-golf and 15 Hijinx Hotel immersive quick-play rooms.

Funlab Chief Executive, Michael Schreiber said the venue is designed to be a go-to that is beyond the typical bar, pub or restaurant experience, and is perfect for all ages, commenting “at Funlab we're passionate about creating spaces where people can let loose and experience the joy they had as a kid in the playground, as an adult

"We combine competitiveness, fun, delicious eats and unique cocktails with a theatrical and immersive environment - a fun-filled experience like no other.

"To really tailor our venues to the Canberra market we've also created new Holey Moley holes and Hijinx Hotel rooms, opening for the first time in Canberra."

In the Hijinx Hotel each of its rooms draws from nostalgia and is uniquely designed for between two and six players to work together to complete challenges in a four-minute window to score points on a leaderboard.

Hijinx Hotel favourites include Adore-a-ball Pool, Scrambled, Poke the Dot and Candy Ball Pool, and they will feature along with four brand new rooms just for Canberra.

Funlab is Australasia’s largest fun company provider, with seven brands over 39 locations in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and, as of late 2023, the USA.
