Billy Bob's Wonderland is a long-running FEC chain with its only currently remaining location at Barboursville, WV (5 Cracker Barrel Dr).

The remaining store is noted for being one of the last public places in the US and the world to view the Rock-afire Explosion.

History

Billy Bob's Wonderland originally opened in 1989, with the first location being in East Barboursville, which was a former Showbiz Pizza Place that rebranded the exterior and interior to avoid Concept Unification. They later opened a second location in Ashland, KY, and both locations combined in 2003 to become the larger location they still reside in today at 5 Cracker Barrel Dr, Barboursville, WV 25504.

Relationship with Creative Engineering

In 2013, Aaron Fechter of Creative Engineering came to the Barboursville location to try and fix the downtrodden animatronics inside, but left shortly after upon reportedly receiving offensive comments from the store owner.
