Went here with another family. The kids loved and we all had a great time. Both video games in the arcade and the more active games were a lot of fun. In general it was a little on the expensive side but not ridiculous. The exception to this is food and drinks that were very expensive. The only other problem was the maintenance of games. A number of them were not working properly. However, the staff made sure that you did not lose money because of a broken machine.

We were in the area so we check this place out. Very nice. We have been to many places like this and this one was one of the best. Place is kept very clean. Attractions looked very new and well maintained. Prices were reasonable compared to other locations. I would visit this place again if I am in the area.

We went on Columbus Day, which was a bit of an off day for crowds which made the day really nice! They were still operating some amusement rides and mini golf outside. Inside, there was go-karts, laser tag, bumper cars, bowling, a large arcade! We all enjoyed ourselves for around $30/piece. Not too bad for a fun-filled day!

I actually had a really fun time in the arcade and on the bumper boats. Laser tag was a bit of a joke...but there's many other things to do like bowling, go-karts, and other rides. Food is similar to an amusement park. I'd go again with or without kids...all of us in the group were above 30 LMAO

Most employees work hard to make this a great experience for kids. One lazy employee in pool area was to busy on her cell phone to help us (fire her - she doesn't need the job. Lots of fun things to do. Safe environment.

My daughter loved this place. We played laser tag and bowling which was fun. After that we played some games and she went on a few rides. It was a little crowded but we were still available to do everything. A fun day.

Funplex has alot to offer with a water area (a bucket dump area with slides and a small swimming pool), mini golf, bumper boats, 4 or 5 rides, go-karts, both indoor and outside, full size bowling lanes, an arcade, ball pit, etc... I think the entire place is more geared towards 6-12 year olds, but the arcade has some games and bowling for teens as well. With all of this in mind, the place is small. aisles inside the building are tight and they gear up for parties on the weekends and camps during the summer weekdays. This can make the place extremely crowded. We were there on a Sunday afternoon in the summer and the place was very crowded at times and manageable at other times. Trying to win anything at the ticket or token games is futile because the redemption price of anything worthwhile is high. If that is your thing, the Jersey shore is a better place to spend your time. They have the capacity to hold at least 15 birthday parties at a time and should really think about repurposing some of that space for the arcade. All in all , if you hit Funplex at a good time, you will enjoy it. If you hit it when they have 15 birthday parties and/or summer camps arriving, be prepared for a little chaos.

Place is small, not much going on inside for games, and some small outside amusement rides. Got here 8/8/14, at 10:30am on a Friday morning. Best part was not many people in the place at that time, but that changed quick, and we left around 11:30am, one hour later because there were lines of 5 and 6 deep of far away NY City school buses that filled the complex parking lot, with many, many, many kids. Some running around bare footed, some without shirts on, and some just being very annoying. The lines for inside games, and outside rides grew to long, and the craziness of it all, took all the fun right out of it. It became more of a hassle than what it was worth, to small of a place for such large crowds they pack in, I could not even imagine being there on a weekend. The cost to do anything there is high, and you have deal with the aggravation as well. First time visiting, experienced it, and can say we will never return do to it's many bus loads of craziness packed into such a small environment. Cannot recommend this place.

So I went here one time and now I am done. The Pros- plenty of Arcade games, rides, indoor and outdoor go karts, small water park, ball pit, etc for school age children.Now the reason I will not go back- the staff! The day I went, there were several camps there. Kids were pushing ahead on the long lines, chaperone for the camps were scarce and there was no control over the chaos of kids in this place. There were even less staff and not one could be found on the floor. The worst employees could be found in the outside ice cream truck. I'll just use their first initial, but "C" was eating her own ice cream, while customers waited in long lines. "C" also had a good time flirting with "I". This left "M" to wait on the long line by herself. There needs to be a better structure of management in this place!

I think this is one of jerseys best kept secrets! Very affordable and tons of options. Love how they realize most parents are there only for the kids and our rates are discounted. You can enter for free and pay per play, but I suggest the wrist bands for approx $30 bus ms you can do it ALL!Water park, amusement rides laser tag just to name a few. Unfortunately this is not a place for toddlers my son only had an option of playing with the balls in the foam room... After an hour I was over it, small kids can also do the water park but for parents who don't want to get wet you should avoid it.Over all I highly recommend, we had a great time.

We were there for part of our family reunion. The rides were good, most of the adults were able to ride the go carts, free fall, roller coaster, tilt a whirl and some upside down ride. And a putt-putt area. There is a water park for the kids and pool. The inside had plenty of arcade games, bowling. The food was average. The area was small enough to enjoy without having to look for anyone. This also is a good place just to spend a few hours with up to pre teen kids.

We rented the VIP bowling suite with food package for my daughter's graduation party on June 14th. Our hostess and the staff were great and catered to our group. For a Saturday night it wasn't very crowded and for the rides we had to wait in line for, the wait was minimal. Would definitely recommend at the group rates. Our group ranged in ages from preschoolers to middle aged parents. All had a great time, we still receive thank you responses from guests.

Went for my granddaughter birthday with some of her friends they had a great time. There was quite a few other parties going on but did not feel crowded. Had a fun time.

This place is nothing special at all but when you are bored, it will do. The food is weak as ever here and they games are decent at best.

Funplex was rated the top Family Entertainment Center (FEC) in North America, and I can see why! It was spectacular. There was just so much to do there! It had every kind of fun thing imaginable; bumper cars, gas and electric go-karts, bumper boats, bowling, A water park and swimming pool, amusement rides, mini golf, arcade games, laser tag, 2 different motion simulators! The food was great, and the customer service was even better. The people there helped us out finding the best armband package and they even had people who went outside with the kids and talked to the ride operators about which ride they wanted to go on. As for my favorite things there, well, I loved the amusement rides! My favorite was the new Fun Twister, a spinning pendulum ride that flipped you upside down…. Over 20 times! I have never seen anything like it anywhere! Another great ride was the roller coaster (Yes, this family entertainment center actually had a full-size roller coaster), The Funcoaster. It was very unique! I also enjoyed the 2 indoor motion simulator rides, one was a 4-D dark ride, pretty much a hi-tech, virtual reality, 3-D video game, and the other, a smaller less-intense motion simulator! As for the price, well, it’s a little high, but not bad considering all the fun stuff that place had, and it’s location just outside of Philidelphia!
