Customer Reviews

Held my son?s 10th bday party here and we had a ball. I did the laser package and the kids absolutely enjoyed. Amelia was a great host and she basically gathered the kids from the party room and took them around as a group to enjoy the festivities. No stress or hassle for birthday momma. Will definitely be returning when the summer hits for the water park

I took my son and his siblings to this place for his 7th birthday. His siblings and friends were of different ages and they all had a blast. The older ones enjoyed the arcades, amusement rides go kart and bowling the younger ones enjoyed the foam frenzy, arcades, go kart and bowling. The food court wasn't too bad, the food was decent and had some good variety. Only takeaway is one has to make extra purchases for arcade games even after paying for the unlimited rides. I feel there should be more credit allow

It was nice to have bowling included with admission. Water park included also but was closed due to weather. Great family fun day

Not a happy experience, if you use Groupon, you have to wait until after 6pm??? Super crowded, parking was horrible, my daughter went on the go karts and was stopped twice because a girl got sick, so she asked if she could go again for the inconvenience and was rudely told no ?!? Anxiously was upset for waiting so long and not enjoy her ride!!! Had to purchase expensive regular price and went home not happy!!! Overall a terrible experience!

I go after 7 pm because prices drop from 7 pm to 11 pm. They have season pass and yearly pass. The staff is not well train on the promotions nor prices. Note you pay a price for rides and another for arcade games, and some games are separate.

Great place to take your kids on a bad weather day. Humongous building with bowling, Go-karts, arcade games, amusements, food. Everything seemed to be working and in good condition. Had a business event here and everyone had a good time. Kids will go crazy in this place there's so much stuff to do.

There was no line to get in on a Saturday. Everyone over 36'' will need to purchase a wristband. For admission, it included all the rides, 4D game, bumper cars, obstacle course, go-kart, lazer tag, an hour of bowling including shoes, and 10 arcade credits. If you don't need all the activities, you can buy a fun band. It has a 30 credit value and can be used towards arcade games or attractions. The kids enjoyed the rides but there is a height limit to ride alone. The arcade kept them busy. And they liked the

We bought an all year season pass at the mt laurel location. We came to visit here and unfortunately a season pass is only good at the location it's bought at. We drove an hour an a half to get here. Yes I bought a day ticket for my daughter and I because I'm not going to ruin her day. $102.02. We had a fun time here. Some workers didn't want to run the rides they were in charge of. Reverse time, drop tower, and warrior challenge workers didn't want to work at all. Probably a one time visit for us.

Will never return. My wife and I brought our 11-year-old daughter and her friends here on a birthday trip for an experience and not only was it scary but it was woefully disrespectful and filled with nasty people. As me and my wife were holding the line for the children to get in line and catch up to us another lady started complaining that we were holding the line being nasty scaring not only our child but the other children involved in our party. I will never return to this establishment. If you want your

Great place to bring family. Just spent the day at Funplex and I'm still grinning from ear to ear. This indoor arcade is a total game-changer . From classic arcade games to high-speed go-karting, they've got something for every age and thrill level. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making sure everyone had an amazing time. The food options were surprisingly good too! If you're looking for a fun day out with friends or family, look no further than Funplex. Can't wait to come back with the family

Used to love bringing my 6 and 2yo here but they just made it so that no kid can enter without a $50 wristband which is ridiculous. I understand for older kids who will use the attractions but they just eliminated demand from any family with kids under 10. I wonder how long until management realizes they made a big mistake!

Funplex After Dark was actually super fun!! Good drinks, good music, reasonable prices! I could've done without the balloons advertising my age but that was on my BFF not Funplex so.. ?? However my group spanned 30+ years in age yet everyone from my sons friends to mine had a BLAST! We haven't been since his 10th birthday party - which was also super successful lol!Can't wait to go back for the Waterpark! ??

The facility itself is amazing, there's so much to do, it's clean, well-maintained, and perfect for families and kids. My family and I had a great time enjoying the attractions and atmosphere. However, the staff, particularly the young female workers, really brought down the experience. Many of them seemed disengaged, unprofessional, and even rude. Their tone when speaking to guests was casual to the point of disrespectful, more like how you'd talk to peers in high school rather than paying customers. One

Wouldn't even give 1 star. Worst experience ever! Came here on the hottest day ever (today) 100 plus degrees. Went into the lazy river couldn't have our shoes (okay) phone (okay) but a hat?!!!! A hat that protects your head against skin cancer? Crazy. Then went to get on a slide walked all the way to the top with our shoes because the pavement was so hot I mean Scorching !!!! Just to be told if we go down the slide we have to walk back up to get our shoes! I literally can't make this up. No Apple Watch, no

We went to the park yesterday for my son?s birthday a party of 10. It was my first time there. It was a beautiful place, but the lockers in the women?s changing room kept giving me a hard time and I had to keep asking for help management over the radio needed me to verify what was in my locker And my receipt and the card that I paid for was in there, and there was no way that I can show them the proof (like why would I want to get into someone else?s locker after paying about $500 to get in?) The manager wa

Today was my first time going to The Funplex and I loved it and my kids want to go back. The waterpark is small but very good with a variety of pools. The staff is very friendly and professional. The food is delicious and everything is very good. The arcade area is super fun.

"I had an amazing time at Funplex! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. The bowling was so much fun, and there were so many other activities to enjoy. Whether you're looking to play games, bowl, or just have a great time with friends or family, Funplex has it all. Highly recommend for a fun-filled outing!"

Had a blast with my daughter for her birthday at the arcade and water rides it was a beautiful day. I gave it 4 stars cause I just wish it was a bigger place with more water rides but it was fun to get away but still close to home.

Place is great! but service is way to long. Bought tickets online but you still need wristbands on. Took 30 min to figure it out. Bought food online took 45 min. 20 min just waiting to be helped and 25 min for the food.

The waterpark is nice it could be bigger but it's nice however food isn't great and extremely expensive for the amount they actually give you. This is my first year having a membership and not sure if I will be returning because this is a kids waterpark and funplex should be very strict on their bathing suits policy stated on their website this was one of the reasons I decided to become a member. There should be absolutely no thong bathing suits allowed for my young children to see it's gross plus highly i

Attended FunPlex for a birthday party. The host rented a VIP area with access to a private bowling alley, dedicated time slots for Go Karts and Laser Tag, plus delicious appetizers, hot entrees and full bar. The staff were extremely courteous and professional. A really fun time!

This was my 1st time back here in over 10 years. I forgot how small it was In the beginning. It was so hot! So crowded! And we came on a Sunday!! I can only imagine what a Saturday or any other day looks like. I didn't eat before I got there and that was a mistake. I spent a $45 on food! Their nachos with the works is a 10 out of 10. The pizza was pretty good! Churros was pretty dry. Pretzels and the drinks were good!! Depending on how many kids you're hosting, it's best to bring $100 minimum or more. I can

This place is super cool. Many options for indoor playing. My daughter was invited to go by a classmate. We went on a early Saturday and had the place pretty much to ourselves for almost 2 hours. Birthday parties did bring in large groups of people, but not until later in the afternoon.Many rides, a few food court areas. And very clean bathrooms. We had the unlimited premium bands which gives you access to the whole facility children were able to play all of the games and get on any ride. They just had t

INDOOR AMUSEMENT PARK. Came here for a b-day party. A huge warehouse facility with various rides, arcades, etc.. bowling and go-cart also available. Tickets definitely not cheap. Expect to spend at least $50 to enjoy here.

Nice place to spend with your kids! We celebrated our daughter birthday 2 weeks ago. She and her friends had a blast! You can check their website for the best prices depending on the day you choose. Kudos to our party helper, George!! He was awesome !!

It's a indoor amusement park with a large outdoor water park, electric race car and bumper car. Some arcade games and rides are also available. You don't have to buy a day pass if you don't plan to play everything. A fun card can be filled or refilled anytime. Bowling is $25 per hours, and shoes rental is extra.

There's a lot to do there for all ages for sure. $25 to get in includes a game card preloaded with 60 credits. However they force you to buy a $25 card for everyone that goes in. So my two 70 year parents were forced to pay $25 just to be with my 2 kids and watch them. Cost us $125 to let my 7 and 5 year old play some arcade games and ride on bumper cars for a couple hours. We had 300 credits to use on 2 kids. Ridiculous. Total waste of money. We left with 120 credits still preloaded. However in order for u

This place is such a scam. Expecting a parent to pay full price even if they are not going to get on any rides is insane and petty. This place thinks it's a Six Flags when it's really just a Chuck e Cheese

I really understand that we are not aloud to bring food from outside and I agree with that. But there is no one to check inside of my wife?s bag. There are under clothes maybe which we don't want anyone to see. Maybe there are thousands of dollars. If you see someone eating food from outside you have right to fire them but you can not look at inside of a bag. I update your rating to 3 because you improve the company better then last year. If you can find a way to not check the bags I will give you 5 stars.

This is surely the greatest place around! Hands down... So we came here without doing any research or anything. We were totally surprised how big this place is. First they have a lot of arcade games. Then they have virtual event area. Bowling lanes like 8 or something... they have rides for kids and grown ups. Food court. Bumper cars, go karts and then the outside section water park area which was closed for the winter. We are definitely going back. I would rate this place at 8.5 only because we couldn't g

21+ night lived up to my expectations. It's cool that they have themed events. The staff was amazing & the DJ was the highlight for me. Looking forward to the next one. You can get tickets online or in-person.

I can't deny the fact that it was fun. However the food is pretty nasty. For a place that size and the amount of crowd they get, there should be better food arrangements and dining areas for people. Dave and buster is better when it comes to that. The dinning section was dirty even the food was area was not very sanitary. You have to wait in line more than 1 hours for the go carts with zero communication. The bowling alley I didn't really mind the wait but the worker was extremely rude. It's a fun place but

This was my first time going to this place. It was my cousin's sons birthday. This place is big. There is so much fun to do for the kids between the bumper car to the laser tag. They have a food area where you and you family can have a good meal. Its just like most fun place but with more of a carnival feel to it. It is a bit far away if you live in the bronx, you would need to have a car to drink out to the place but it is a great place to bring friends and family. I will be back again with the kids.

Great Party Host!!! Come here often but today came for a party and we ALL had a great time! Our host Kwass was beyond amazing! 20/10 Place was good and clean service was great and all play areas were good overall!!

Great place to explore. Not from the area but it was so much people could do and for the price of admission, this was worth it. I was able to purchase tickets for my children to pretty much do all the games and rides and then I was able to do tickets for myself and my husband for pretty much the arcade area. These are exactly the different price points and levels that are affordable and feasible for all skill levels. If I ever come back to jersey, I definitely will consider coming back to this place.

This is one of the best places to go if you want to have fun for your kids. My child went here for his birthday. He had a bunch of fun, Especially on the laser tag.

It was a great experience I enjoyed it was just disappointed the water park wasn't open and there was no notification on the site that it was still closed.but overall a nice place! My daughter enjoyed this ice cream very much a must try!

Nice place to go for a fun family day or celebrate a birthday. I like that for one price we can do many activities for everyone to enjoy. The food/snacks were good. You can easily spend a whole day there and feel it's worth it!

Wanted to love it but it was really hard considering employees were uninviting & seemed miserable. It wasn't even that busy when I went I understand being flustered or aggravated when it's busy but it wasn't. Only nice employee was the one working at the bowling alley stand didn't catch her name. But everyone else lacked basic manners, no hello?s, thank you?s or anything- Wouldn't consider bringing kids back.

It was very enjoyable as we had a group, however there was a bug with our tickets so we couldn't use the arcade

It's a loud place. They did a good job with our birthday party. George was great. The kids had a fantastic time. Parents, bring your money.

A fun day with indoor and outdoor activities. Not the best experience when it gets too crowded so better stay away from public holidays! Overall we had an enjoyable day and kids had so much fun!

FYI: You cant go and just play arcade games and claw machines. They try to charge you 30 bucks just to step foot in the place. Calling the phone number to ask questions is useless, as its just a recorded message. Edit: Nice copy + paste reply that provides nothing but useless drivel.

Funplex has been upgrading services, when my children were younger there wasn't a section for a water park, but now they have pools, slides and outside activities to go along with the fun inside the arcade. Great place to take the children on a hot summer day for all of the available fun things to do or just do an inside event anytime of the year.... Highly recommended. Kids had a fantastic time. ????????

We a had bday party for my kids ,host of the party was very friendly with kids n make them entertained ,we had special food restriction for no onion no garlic in pizza sauce and they make sure they followed all instructions nicely and all.kids n families enjoyed ,

Not worth it for the price. The water park section was sold out when we got here and the indoor arcade with rides is pretty boring. I would rather much pay for Six Flags which comes close in price. The only exciting part was the bowling, we had a good time there. The go karts were cool. Everything else was pretty dull. Def overpriced for what it has. I won't be coming back here.

Very fun for group events, there was bowling and some indoor rides. Might've not given it a 5 start but I kinda popped off during the indoor go-kart, little jimmy did not see me coming. I was a literal blur of nothing but pure speed. Some would say I'm a young flash. Don't even get me started on the laser tag man was I am elite soldier I was topping the leader boards expect for big guy Dave that man can aim. I've never seen so many people get blasted like that since the year 1405 when george Washington beat

The chicken tenders was still cold and the meat slipped out the tender. The cheese steak beef was not cooked. The rides was fun but the food I don't recommend getting.

Not that much varieties of rides available. My daughter liked go kart that was fun. Bowling is good here $30 per family 5 people for 1 hour good deal. However I was surprised to know that $20 is just shoe renting charge. Over all okay however not that much exciting place. Arcades are just like chukie cheese.

went here for my brother?s birthday and he loved it, along with other family members. they had FIRE pi?a coladas and they made me crave them for a while after. there were tons of arcade games and other things. this place is great for kids and even adults, just be careful on the go karts because one of my brothers almost got a concussion.

People who work here don't want to work! please hire people who care! waited 30 minutes each ride, one guy was bitting his nails the other on his phone, never again will i come here with my kids. you will have fun in the arcades but rides you will waiste time! Just a place where no one seems to care about a question you have.

Dear Funplex Corporate Team, I am writing to share my recent experience at the Funplex in New Jersey, where my family and I visited to enjoy the day together. Unfortunately, we encountered an issue with the go-kart attraction that left us disappointed. As a taller individual, I found that the single go-kart was too small for me to ride comfortably. I requested to use a double-seater go-kart instead, but my request was denied. When I asked to speak with a manager, I hoped for a more understanding resolutio

We had Lots of fun with family! Amazing Experience. Nothing much for 2 years old but older than that will love it! $25 for every game in it! What a steal! Will definitely go again. Did not try the waterpark though!

If a 3+ child can go on a Go Kart with an adult (BTW the only ride for 3+ Y.o.) then why not on a bump car with an adult ?!. Most rides are for 6+ or 6+ with adult. Very Average food. Few options like pizza by slice, burger, fries and hot dogs. Foam park cleanliness is an issue. Arcade games fun for young kids. There's the splashex but haven't been there yet due to reviews about over crowding. Funplex was Not over crowded on a Thursday night it was decent. Staff was Friendly. $25 per person gets unlimited r

This place was great !!!We were there from 2 pm till 9 pm . Fun was non-stop. Food was quick bites but was really good , somethings was slightly pricey like 16 wings for $30 but it was good so cant complain,puzza pie with pitcher of soda was $ 24.00 ,I thought it was very reasonable ! For the wristband i bought online ( it said it was 3 dollars cheaper to buy it in advance so i did only to get charged a convenience fee that was same amout ,was a bit upset that bands were same price there without extra fee

Fun and cute. They have multiple rides; some a taller sibiling/ adult may need to ride. A seperate table for birthday party check in. They have bumber cars, go kart racing, bowling, laser tag, and a virtual station. They have a food court in the back offering wings, pizza, drinks.

I've hosted 2 events at Funplex, one a professional event and the other was my son?s 7th birthday. For both events Jacqueline was amazing to work with on getting everything set up and ensuring everything went perfectly. For my sons birthday, we did the ultimate package and all the kids had a blast!! Our party host was absolutely amazing, I can't say enough good things about her! While the kids were eating, she even played a fun game of ?who knows the birthday boy the best? he felt so celebrated. Well worth

Took the grandkids on a Sunday. It was GREAT!! We had a blast! The bumper cars were fun (but of course). The Go Karts were insane!! Talk about the 'need for speed'!! Hell... I'd go again all by myself to ride the Go Karts over and over while cackling like a hyena! The Drop & Twist was cool for the kids. It doesn't drop fast and spins slowly. So the only fear would be from kids who are scared of height, itself. Foam Frenzy was lots of fun for the kids. All foam balls and climbing/running fun. Reverse time w

AWFUL EXPERIENCE! AVOID THIS PLACE FOR BIRTHDAY PARTIES! Our daughter was excited to have her 12th birthday party here because of the go-karts. Unfortunately, the "hostess" was late returning from her break. She only guided the kids to rides she liked and refused to take them to the GO-karts, for which we had paid EXTRA! The pizza was ice-cold, and she didn't even provide a pitcher of water for the kids and a 16oz soft drink, mostly ice. Despite outside drinks being prohibited. They also added a 20% gratuit

To be honest I initially would have given 3-4 stars, but considering that my 8 year old niece fell here and hurt herself pretty badly (she was running and it was her fault) and the lifeguards were phenomenal I had to give 5 stars. We had a great time. This is my second time coming here but my first time using the bowling and go karts. All the staff was professional, courteous, and helpful. I went during a week day so there were many young kids that seem to be with different camps so there weren't many adult

My kids love this place! We've visited for birthday parties and hosted our own here- they have a great variety and the party host makes it really fun for the kids. My kids love the laser tag, virtual reality rides, ballpit/ course, bumper cars, go karts, and the arcade games! Wristbands are the best price if you will be there for a while or visit on an off day/ time while when they discount to save some green

Over all it was fun but the little game where you have to get the S into the slots or something it's was a scam. I put the S in the middle of the number 1 slot and I didn't get anything. Also I paid 4 credits to do a claw machine and I also had 200 something credits and after I paid I only had 9 credits. This made me really mad and I don't look forward to coming back here.

This place is really amazing for the kids I even had fun . The only reason it's getting 4 stars instead of 5 is because the day we went the ball room wasn't working properly and no one seemed to care about it nor did the employees seem to know what to do . Other than that everything else was pretty awesome . They offer lots of activities from rides , games and even hosting an event there .

WAY overpriced! $47 for wristbands and $5 in credits. . I'm under the impression that the green crew is being trained on weekends. Ended up paying $270 for 4. What really makes it a terrible value is the service, or lack of

I've been here for field trips and each time I go with my campers it is a lot of fun!

You're not going to find a better value for your money if you come here on a weekday. The amount of things you can do for the price of an unlimited band is fantastic. The staff was remarkably friendly and overall the place was really clean. (With the exception of the foam ball play area which looks like it's been neglected for quite some time) I'm sure it's absolutely packed on the weekend, but during the week this is like striking gold.

The customer service here sucks the security guard is so rude spending over 1000 dollars for a birthday party and telling a kid he can't use the bathroom because he doesn't have a wristband on yet is outrageous . The party started at 1:30 we arrived 10 minutes early !!! This is so unacceptable . I will Never spend my money here again !

Great place for kids. Rides water park games cafe and unlimited fun. Perfect for birthday parties. Perfect for kids to spend 3-4 hours

This is my first google review, just felt extremely necessary after what happened today. Spent over $200 today at this establishment and the employees did nothing when I explained to them that we had been in line for go karts for 38 minutes at that point and 12 little extremely rude over privileged satan spawns cut in front of us and 15 other people making all of us have to wait for another race. I get it, they aren't paid enough to deal with the spawn of satan and control other peoples kids, at the same ti

From an adult perspective, Funplex is not a fun place to Visit. Most of the Rides are just for kids, the place is very small for the amount of crowd it draws. We got the unlimited ticket with many rides like Bowling, Laser tag etc included. Laser tag had a 2 hours wait time, so you won't be able to do it multiple times. The bowling alley didn't have any waiting time but multiple lanes had technical issues so we had to be moved from one lane to another and finally we left. The XD ride had technical issues

Awesome place, lovely staff and a lot of fun for kids and adults (playing along side the kids) alike.. went for Eid with a lot of families and had a great time thanks! We liked the variety of things that we were able to do with the wrist bands.

Signed up for the summer pass for all 7 of us. Went for the 1 day during spring break. We had a blast.

This is a great place to take your children to let they energy out. The food court is a little expensive a whole pizza pie(8 slices) is $19, slushies $6( you can share one with two little kids)and $10 chicken salad( lettuces tomato red/purple onions & carrots) was fresh & great. ( Enough for 2 people) However, I would've loved to see a bounce house for the children. Yet, I was disappointed because 3 & 4 years old can't get on the bumping cars with or without a parent. ( need to find a solution) Lastly,

Good family friendly place. Good atmosphere & tons of games too play. Be aware no outside food & drinks allowed in.

The kids always love coming here. But I noticed they increased the number of tickets needed for each ride, rendering parents to pay more for the attractions.

get in line for go karts and get cut in line 5 times the first time so i left came back later and im not allowed to go to my friend in line already. so i go to the back just to get cut by a group of 6 prople so i bring it up to the employee and they dont do anything so i go to the arcade to play pop the lock and got to 1 left and it pressed the button automatically. so i play again and it does the same thing 2 times in a row as soon as a swipe. the coin dispenser machine dispenses coins as soon as you swipe

I've taken my kids for some fun and even had my 7yr olds birthday party. They never disappoint. Both times were a hit. The party planner could?ve been slightly more organized but other than that the kids loved it. Lots to do for a good price.

Place seemed so much fun online, but when you get there it's basically for kids under 12, older kids can't do the rides and the workers were so rude

It's a place that not only entertains the kids but also takes care of the parents. We (parents of kids) went there on a birthday party but ended up having as much fun as the kids. There are rides, go carts, bowling lanes and a million other things under one roof. Highly recommended!!!

This place sucks. I went on the go karts and it was fun until we had to exit but when we did, some kid who was right in front of me went sideways, not like overturned but the kart got lodged sideways so then I stopped my kart like 1 inch away from the sideways kart but then, another kart drove right into the sideways kart and then another kart drove into me, causing a six go kart pile up. The ride operators just told the people in the karts involved in the pile up to leave the ride. Like bruh, if you see so

It is a very clean place , and fun.

By far one of the best amusement centers in NJ. I had my daughter's 7th birthday party and the service was on point, we had our own private host throughout the entire 3 hours (service based on package chosen) and he was able to get all the kids in my party enjoy each of the rides based on our schedule. All kids had fun and parents were happy with the service. I definitely reccomend this place.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?
