"If I could give 6 stars I would. We came here today as a family of 4. Me, my mom, my dad and my sister. We paid about 35$ per person. Now this was all day unlimited admission to bowling, amusement rides, laser tag and everything else except the arcade, now the arcade we got 10 free credits on our wristbands and played some games. We could have got more credits but decided to save more fun for next time. The bowling alley was only 5 frames which was plenty for us. Staff was super friendly and pleasant. Very clean as well. Bathrooms spotless as well. Go kart track was a lot of fun . We can’t wai"

"Funplex is often forgotten about in the colder months because of the popular outdoor activities but we visited in Jan. There was no line no wait around 1pm.. it was a smooth entry and tickets were purchased online. Fun facts.. online you can use Klarna IFKYK!! We had a short wait time to access rides and the kids had a blast. By the time we left around 5. The lines were almost wrapped around themselves.. we had fun on the rides and bowled our 1hr at the very end. Adults* The frozen margaritas are perfect if you indulge.. and the food was so tasty!! Highly recommend. Even on Adult only nights!"
