Time Out On the Court

Time Out On the Court was a family entertainment center located inside the now-defunct Forest Fair Mall in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. It was originally operated by Sega and later by Namco. It was different to other venues operated by the chain, as it was more akin to an indoor theme park than an arcade; featuring a selection of rides and a minigolf course.

History

It opened with the Forest Fair Mall in 1989.^[1]

In 1990, when Sega sold the Time-Out chain to Edison Brothers Mall Entertainment^[2],^[3] Namco took over operations of the venue.

The venue closed in October 2000.^[4] It was replaced by a cinema. A new family entertainment center also under the operations of Namco-America, WonderPark, opened elsewhere in the mall.^[5]
