Funko Hollywood

Our weekends now look different then pre-Covid weekends. This fun Hollywood outing took place in March 2020, one year ago this week, and one week before California had it’s first shut down.

When my husband suggested we take the boys to Funko Hollywood, I was confused - “you mean, the bubble head toy stores?” He heard it was more than a retail shop and a great place to roam around. So, we packed up our rascals and headed off to Hollywood.

Funko Hollywood has since revised their store hours and operations to meet public health standards and make it safer for their guests. They are currently open and we want to encourage families to visit this during this time when a bit of fun is much needed.

Please Note: Photos below are from our trip there March 2020 (Pre-Covid, therefore no masks)

This is Funko’s second brick-and-mortar location. Funko Hollywood is 40,000 square feet of whimsy, adventure, fun, larger-than-life photo opportunities, and immersive sets inspired by your favorite worlds, characters, and moments.

Smile! There were plenty of photo ops around every corner of the store. As a bonus, their friendly employees are happy to help with family photos. We arrived when it opened at 11:00am and did not experience an issue with crowds.

Our two rascals were so happy about our little trip to Hollywood and their souvenirs from this special retail experience. They have a collection of Funko Pop toys and I see them playing pretend with all their superheros often. I’m glad these toys are not just in a box but out and encouraging imaginary play. After Funko, we had lunch at a nearby pizza place and then drove by the Hollywood Bowl. The Lays’ day in Hollywood was filled with surprise and fun.
