Which code does this activity belong in?
Amusement and theme parks operate multiple attractions including mechanical rides, water rides, games, shows, and themed exhibits as their primary activity. Amusement arcades, by contrast, are classified separately and focus on providing coin-operated games rather than a variety of integrated attractions. The distinguishing factor is whether an establishment operates as a comprehensive venue with diverse rides and entertainment experiences, or concentrates principally on arcade gaming machines.
