1. Why activate your free business account

Funzaroo lists family-friendly venues across the UK: indoor play centres, trampoline parks, zoos, museums, pools, playgrounds and more. We continually discover and add venues, so yours may already be on funzaroo.co.uk before you arrive.

Activating your business account is free, and so is every tool in it. You control what families see: your photos, opening hours, pricing, party details, booking links and social media. You receive enquiries from families, understand your local market and your competitors, read what families say about you, and make your own marketing in the Marketing Studio.

There is no subscription and Funzaroo takes no commission on your bookings. The one thing we charge for is optional: promoting your venue to Funzaroo's own audience, when you ask us to (section 5).

Where you sign in. Funzaroo for Business is the one portal for every country we operate in. UK venues sign in at business.funzaroo.co.uk, which takes you to the portal with your country already chosen.

2. Activate your account

Activating is not submitting. Submitting tells us a venue exists; activating tells us you run it and gives you access to manage it. If your venue is already on the site, you do not submit it again; you activate its account. Not on the site at all? See section 6.

1Find your business

Type your venue's name into the finder on funzaroo.co.uk/for-business, or open your venue's page on funzaroo.co.uk; the address looks like funzaroo.co.uk/activity/your-venue-name.

2Click "Activate your free business account"

Fill in the short form: your name, your role at the venue, a contact email and a phone number we can reach you on.

3We check and approve

We usually review requests within one business day. If your email address matches your venue's website, that is normally enough. If it does not (a Gmail address, or a venue without a website), we look at the details you gave and anything public that ties you to the venue, and approve on judgement; we may email or call. If we cannot confirm ownership we decline, and you can ask again with a verifiable address or reply with evidence.

4Set your password

Once approved you receive an email from hello@funzaroo.co.uk with a link to set your password. The link works once and for seven days; if it has expired, use Forgot your password? on the sign-in page to get a new one.

5Sign in

From then on, sign in any time at business.funzaroo.co.uk. You land on Home, which is your listing.

3. Your first sign-in: five things to do

Everything below is on Home, where your listing is laid out one tab per part. Each tab has its own Save changes button; your listing updates as soon as you save.

  1. Check your name, phone and website on the Venue details tab, and write a description if there is not one.
  2. Add your opening hours on the Hours tab, day by day, including the days you are closed.
  3. Add your prices on the Pricing tab: a one-line summary and up to four price lines (for example Child, Adult, Family).
  4. Upload your own photos on the Photos tab: up to five, landscape, up to 10 MB each. The first one is your listing's thumbnail. Photos we found on Google may already be there; add your own alongside them (section 7 explains why it matters).
  5. Add a booking link on the Bookings and links tab if families can book or buy tickets on your website. Your listing gets a Book now button.

Then click View live listing at the top of Home and look at your page as a family would. If you host birthday parties, the Parties and groups tab is the next stop.

Home: the Overview shows what is complete and your next best actions; each tile opens the right tab.

4. Screen by screen

Every screenshot below is of a demonstration venue, Sunny Days Play Centre, in UK; your screens look the same with your own listing in them. The portal works on a phone as well as a computer.

Home

Home is your listing, one tab per part, and each tab saves on its own. The Overview tab shows how complete your listing is and suggests what to do next, based on what is missing and on recent activity: an enquiry waiting for a reply, a school holiday coming up, photos or hours not yet added.

TabWhat you can change
PhotosUp to five photos; the first is your thumbnail. Photos that came from Google are marked.
Venue detailsDescription, age range, phone, website.
PricingA one-line price summary and up to four price lines.
AmenitiesCafe, parking, toddler friendly, indoor or outdoor, change rooms, pram access, free entry, wheelchair access, good for children. Each is Yes, No or Not set.
HoursOpening hours per day, including closed days.
Parties and groupsWhether you host birthday parties, and if so party rooms, maximum group size, bring-your-own cake, food options, and anything else families should know.
Bookings and linksUp to six links to your booking or ticket pages. One "General admission" link becomes the Book now button on your listing.
Social mediaFacebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn.
Website badgeCode to paste into your own website for a "Featured on Funzaroo" badge that links to your listing. The same badge is under Badge in the menu.
Bookings and links: choose what the link is for, type the button label, paste the page address, then Save changes.

How booking links work. A family who clicks your Book now button passes through our site on the way to yours, which is how the click is recorded, and lands on the page you chose. Funzaroo does not take bookings or payments. You see clicks per link on this tab. Leave "Add tracking parameters" ticked and your own website analytics will show visits from Funzaroo.
Parties and groups: answer Yes to parties, then fill in what families ask about.

Enquiries

Families can write to you from your listing. Every enquiry appears here with a stage you set (new, contacted, quote sent, booked, lost), a note field, a reply button that opens your email, and an export to a spreadsheet. Enquiries are also emailed to your listing's contact address once we have confirmed it can receive mail; until then they are here only, so check in.

Enquiries: set the stage on the right, reply by email, add a note for yourself.

Marketing Studio

Posts, stories and posters with your venue on them. Pick a goal (birthday parties, school holidays, a weekend visit, an offer, something new, find us), a size (Instagram post or story, Facebook post, A4 poster) and a design; every design is drawn with your photo, your words, your colours and your venue's features. Edit the headline and second line, choose a colour palette, tick which features to show, then Make the image and download it. Nothing is posted for you; you post it from your own accounts.

Marketing Studio: pick a design on the left, edit the words and colours on the right, make the image in the middle.

Reel maker: choose a template, pick a photo for each scene, add music, then make the reel.

Campaign packs

A whole campaign for one goal, not one image at a time. Pick the next school holidays, birthday parties, a weekend promotion, a new attraction or a special offer, and you get a two-week schedule: a Facebook post, an Instagram post and story, a reel, a reminder for the second week, an A4 poster for the door and a newsletter, each with its date and the words to go with it, all written from your listing. Make the images, copy the words, post them on the day. As with everything here, you publish from your own accounts; Funzaroo never has access to them.

Campaign packs: pick the goal, then work down the schedule; each piece has its words to copy and its image to make.

Market, Competitors and Reputation

Market shows who lives near you: your city and the settlements around it with their population, everything we list within 12 km on a map, and how often families in your region search for your kind of venue. Competitors lists the same kind of venue within 12 km by Google rating, with where each is ahead of you and where you are ahead. Reputation puts your Google rating, the themes in what families write about you, and the recent reviews Google shares in one place.

Market: people nearby, venues within 12 km on the map, and how you compare on rating, reviews and photos.

Badge, Help

Badge gives you the "Featured on Funzaroo" code for your website. Help is where to reach us. If you manage more than one venue, choose the venue at the top of each screen.

5. What it costs: nothing

Every tool in Funzaroo for Business is free for every venue: your listing and every tab of it, booking links, Enquiries, Market, Competitors, Reputation, the Marketing Studio, the reel maker and the campaign packs. There is no plan to choose, no subscription and no card to enter, and Funzaroo takes no commission on your bookings.

The one thing we charge for is optional: promotion to Family Action's own audience, such as placement ahead of other venues in your category or on your city's page. If you would like Funzaroo to promote your venue, email hello@funzaroo.co.uk and we will talk it through; nothing in the portal asks you to pay.

6. My venue is not listed yet

If you have searched carefully and your venue is not on the site, submit it:

  1. Go to funzaroo.co.uk/list-your-venue
  2. Fill in the form (name, address, category, contact, website)
  3. We review it and add it to the directory, usually within one to two business days
  4. Once it is live, activate its business account (section 2)
Submitting does not give you ownership. Submitting lets us know the venue exists; activating the account, once it is live, is what gives you access.

7. Questions

I cannot sign in.
Choose your country first (it is where your account lives), then your email. If you never set a password, or have forgotten it, click Forgot your password? on the sign-in page and we email you a link that works once and for seven days.
Will I be emailed when a family sends an enquiry?
Yes, to your listing's contact email, once we have confirmed that the address can receive mail (we check it when you activate). Until then, enquiries are in Funzaroo for Business only, so sign in and look under Enquiries.
I saved a change but the listing still shows the old information.
Your listing updates within a minute or two of saving. If it does not, reload the page, and if it still shows the old information after ten minutes, email us with the venue name and what you changed.
Why are the photos on my listing not in the Marketing Studio?
Photos we found on Google are shown on your listing but we cannot verify that your venue has permission to reuse them, so the studio and the reel maker only use photos you upload yourself. Upload your own on Home under Photos, and they appear in every design. Only upload photos you own or have permission to use.
Do you take bookings?
No. Your booking links send families through our site to your own booking page, so we can record the click, and nothing else happens in between. Payments, availability and confirmations are all yours.
Can I manage more than one venue from one account?
Yes. Activate each venue with the same email address. They all appear in the one account; choose the venue at the top of each screen. Contact us if you would like us to link a chain or franchise in one go.
Can a colleague have their own sign-in?
Not yet; one account per venue, and the account email is the one that activated it. Contact us if the person who activated it has left and the account needs to move to someone else.
Is there really no cost?
Really. Every tool is free for every venue, there is no subscription and we take no commission on bookings. If you ask us to promote your venue to our audience, that is a separate, optional arrangement we agree with you by email first.
My venue uses a Gmail address, not one on our website.
Ask anyway. We look at the details you give and anything public that ties you to the venue, and approve on judgement; we may email or call. If we cannot confirm ownership we decline, and you can ask again with an address on the venue's website or reply with evidence.
I see incorrect information on my listing right now.
The fastest path is to activate your account and edit it yourself. For an urgent correction before your request is processed (a wrong phone number, say), email hello@funzaroo.co.uk with the venue name and the correction and we fix it for you within one business day.
Will my listing be removed if I do not activate an account?
No. Listings stay live as long as the venue is operating. Activating gives you control of the content; we are happy to list your venue either way.
I submitted my venue but I cannot edit it. Why?
Submitting and activating are different. Submitting tells us the venue exists; activating tells us you run it and gives you access. Once your submitted venue is live, open its page on funzaroo.co.uk and click Activate your free business account.
