Etymology

From fun +‎ house.

Noun

funhouse (plural funhouses)

  1. (originally US) A structure, usually at a circus or amusement park, enclosing several interactive attractions such as distorting mirrors, ramps, slides, stairs, rotating barrel slides, etc., that usually do not involve performers.
    • 2003, Cory Doctorow, chapter 6, in Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom:
      “It’s not good stewardship. If the guests wanted to walk through a funhouse with guys jumping out of the shadows saying ‘booga-booga,’ they’d go to one of the Halloween Houses in their hometowns. The Mansion’s better than that. I can’t be a part of this plan.”
