Mystery Fun House was an attraction located in Orlando, Florida, USA. It was founded by David A. Siegel in 1976 and operated through 2001. It was located near International Drive, on Major Boulevard. Over time, the fun house expanded to include a full laser tag facility, full arcade, a dinosaur themed mini golf course and other attractions.

The funhouse was made up of 15 areas called "chambers". The chambers included a mirror maze, a rolling barrel, tunnels to crawl through, scary jail areas, a moving bridge, a crooked room, and others. In the early days, there was a Multiplex hologram machine and a wall sized "computer" that could read patrons handwriting and provide a fortune. There was also a show about three quarters of the way into the fun house that included music, lights, special effects and the wizard on a large movie type screen.

Starbase Omega was a laser tag facility. Each player was equipped with a reflective badge, a battery belt pack, and a laser-gun device. To get to Starbase Omega, patrons would sit on a transporter that simulated a ride to the planet. Once on the planet (a large, dark room with extra-bouncy carpets and a hovering spaceship), players would shoot light beams at other players in an attempt to hit the reflective badge.

Jurassic Putt was a 18 hole mini golf theme around dinosaurs, eariler it was called Mystery Mini Golf and also included a dark building for one of the "holes".

Later in the life of the MFH they added an animatronic show, similar to ShowBiz Pizza and Chuck E. Cheese's, serving pizza and other favorites.

Two movies were filmed at the Mystery Fun House, the birthday scene of Parenthood (1989) and some of Night Terror (2002).
