PICKAWAY COUNTY, OH — A local favorite for family entertainment is leveling up. Circle City Event and Fun Center, which closed its doors in March to prepare for a major expansion, has officially announced its “next chapter” with a brand-new, ground-up construction project aimed at serving both Pickaway and Ross Counties.
The new facility will be located just south of Clagg Way, near the Love’s Travel Stop in southern Pickaway County. The move is designed to provide significantly more square footage and easier highway access for families traveling from Chillicothe, Circleville, and surrounding areas.
A “Ground-Up” Experience
Rather than moving into an existing building, ownership has opted for a custom, ground-up construction with one attached building. While an exact opening date has not been set, the project is slated for completion in 2026.
The new location promises to be a massive upgrade to the original center, offering an even larger footprint for the high-energy activities that made the business a regional staple.
What’s Coming to the New Space?
The center is doubling down on its “all-in-one” entertainment model. When the doors swing open in 2026, visitors can expect:
- Expanded Inflatables: Larger zones for themed bounce houses, high-speed slides, and multi-lane inflatable obstacle courses for both children and adults.
- State-of-the-Art Arcade: A modernized gaming floor featuring a mix of classic cabinet favorites and the latest cutting-edge redemption games.
- Enhanced Party Rentals: Two dedicated, private party rooms will be available for birthdays, corporate team-building, and community celebrations.
- On-Site Dining & Shopping: A full food court for refueling between activities and a retail gift shop featuring souvenirs and toys.
Bridging the County Line
By moving further south toward the Pickaway-Ross border, Circle City is positioning itself as a central hub for the region. The proximity to US-23 ensures that residents in both counties have a shorter commute to a premier indoor recreation space.
“Our goal is to provide non-stop entertainment and a blast from start to finish,” the company shared in a statement. “Gather your friends and family—we are building an unforgettable day of bouncing, sliding, and gaming.”
As construction progresses, the center plans to announce special themed parties and grand opening events. Until then, the community is watching closely as the “Fun Center” prepares to transform the local landscape.
