Services-Miscellaneous Amusement & Recreation

The Services–Miscellaneous Amusement & Recreation industry, classified under SIC 7990, covers a wide spectrum of venues and operators, including family entertainment centers, arcades, theme and water parks, escape rooms, indoor sports facilities, gaming lounges, and niche experiential attractions. Core offerings range from admission-based rides and games to memberships, food and beverage, branded merchandise, sponsorships, and corporate events. Typical customers span families, teens and young adults, tourists, local communities, and companies seeking team-building or client entertainment. Operators face significant risks from discretionary spending cycles, seasonality, safety and liability exposure, regulatory oversight on gambling and sports betting, accessibility and zoning rules, and increasingly strict data privacy and advertising standards. In 2024–2025, key trends include immersive and AR/VR experiences, dynamic pricing, online booking, cashless payments, and partnerships with influencers and IP owners, as well as ESG-focused design and energy use.
