About DiDonato Family Fun Center
DiDonato Family Fun Center in Hammonton is a family bowling center that also has an arcade, a full bar and grille and an ice cream stand under one roof. It is best known in the holiday season for the Magical Holiday Express, a train ride on its outdoor Rolling Railway through millions of Christmas lights.
The Magical Holiday Express is for riders of all ages. Along with the train ride through the lights you meet Santa and his elves in his workshop, chat with Mrs. Claus, and get a present from Santa, a cookie and a hot chocolate. There is also a holiday movie tent with a picture spot beside a snowman, and a walk-through holiday village. Each ticket includes one free game of bowling with a shoe rental.
Inside, the Alley Bar and Grille serves lunch and dinner, the Pin Deck serves homemade hand-dipped ice cream, shakes and seasonal sundaes, and the Spare Change arcade has a redemption store and virtual reality games. The Little Strikes toy and candy shop, DiDonato's Bowl-tique, carries festive novelties, plush, treats and books.
