Funk Bowling is proud to be a key entertainment partner in one of Canada’s most ambitious new location-based entertainment projects: Playdium Vaughan Mills. Set to open in summer 2026, the new venue will become the largest Playdium in the country. Funk Bowling will power its duckpin bowling experience with six immersive lanes featuring on-lane projection technology.
As part of Cineplex’s continued investment in next-generation entertainment destinations, Playdium Vaughan Mills will span more than 24,000 square feet and feature over 70 attractions under one roof. Funk’s duckpin bowling installation will play a central role in delivering the high-energy, social experiences Playdium is known for, helping transform the venue into a must-visit destination for families, friends, and group events.
A Modern Bowling Experience Designed for High-Volume Entertainment
For Playdium Vaughan Mills, bowling needed to be compact, visually engaging, and built for constant use without sacrificing fun or performance. Funk Bowling will deliver six duckpin bowling lanes, complete with immersive on-lane projection powered by Funk’s advanced scoring and experience platform, similar to its recent installation at The Factory in London, Ontario.
Designed specifically for high-traffic entertainment environments, Funk’s duckpin systems offer:
- A smaller footprint ideal for multi-attraction venues
- Fast-paced, approachable gameplay for all ages
- Low-maintenance, energy-efficient performance
- Immersive visuals that elevate the guest experience
With shorter lanes and smaller balls, duckpin bowling invites players of all skill levels to jump in instantly, making it a natural fit for Playdium’s all-ages audience and group-focused programming
Supporting Cineplex’s Vision for Experiential Entertainment
Playdium Vaughan Mills marks the fifth Playdium location nationwide and the fourth in Ontario, further strengthening Cineplex’s leadership as Canada’s largest entertainment company, operating under the Cineplex, Playdium, and The Rec Room brands.
By integrating bowling alongside attractions such as laser tag, ropes courses, climbing walls, and arcade gaming, Playdium Vaughan Mills reflects a growing trend toward experiential destinations that extend visit times and create memorable group experiences.
Funk Bowling’s Expanding Presence in Canadian Entertainment Venues
With over 130 years of manufacturing expertise and more than 100,000 installations worldwide, Funk Bowling continues to expand its footprint across Canada, particularly within large-scale entertainment complexes and non-traditional venues. The Playdium Vaughan Mills project builds on Funk’s growing relationship with major entertainment operators seeking compact, immersive, and reliable bowling solutions.
Funk’s duckpin bowling systems have become a go-to choice for venues looking to maximize space, reduce operating costs, and deliver high-impact guest experiences. This makes Funk an ideal fit for the evolving landscape of family entertainment centers and mixed-use developments.
As construction continues and the summer 2026 opening approaches, Funk Bowling is proud to play a role in shaping what’s next for entertainment in Canada, one lane at a time.
