About The Rush Fun Park

When fully operational and adequately staffed, it provides an exciting environment for kids to burn energy.

Insider tips
- Consider stretching beforehand if you plan to actively chase your kids around the park.
- Purchase tickets beforehand to potentially avoid lines, though lines were minimal on one reported visit.
- If considering a membership pass, seek out General Manager Cindy for a detailed explanation of pricing and benefits.
- Be aware that specific attractions might be closed or understaffed; call ahead if a particular attraction is crucial to your visit.
Good to know before you go
- Avoid if your children are under seven years old, as many areas are not designed for them and it may not be worth the cost.
- Avoid if specific attractions like the big slides or rock wall are primary reasons for your visit, as they may be closed or understaffed.
- Avoid if you expect consistent staff presence at all attractions and attentive, kid-oriented service, as understaffing and unengaged employees have been reported.
- Avoid if you are on a tight budget or seeking better value compared to competitors like Maui Maui and Kids Empire, as overall costs can quickly exceed $100.
- Major attractions like the 'big slides' can be completely closed without prior notice.
- Crowds
- Lines were reported as 'minimal' on one specific day, but purchasing tickets beforehand is generally recommended to avoid potential lines.
- Value
- Admission for a family can easily exceed $70. There is a mandatory, 'overpriced' purchase of anti-slip socks at $16 for a family of four. With arcade games, total spending can quickly surpass $100. While the price includes 3 hours of play and socks, the value is significantly diminished if attractions are closed or understaffed. Compared to similar venues, it is considered 'overpriced and underwhelming'. However, detailed explanations from staff like General Manager Cindy regarding membership passes can make a monthly pass seem like a valuable option.
- Food
- Food options include pizza (smelled like pizza) and they offer 'drinks and snacks as well'.
- Accessibility
- No specific accessibility accommodations mentioned in the reviews.
- Safety
- Mandatory anti-slip socks, while intended for safety, have been reported to 'get stuck in the slides and potentially cause injuries'.
What parents say
"Terrible experience!! Brought my daughter to spend her birthday here. It wasn’t a birthday package but just something I bought her to do on the actual day of her birthday. The big slides were closed down completely. The attractions that require an employee to assist were closed because there was only 1 employee available for the attractions at the time. I went to the counter twice to ask when the rock wall would be open and both times was told the 1 available employee was attending the other attraction. Meanwhile there were 4 employees at the front counter. When they finally did open the rock"

"We came for the first time today and I am genuinely impressed with the layout. It reminds me of an upgraded Discovery Zone which is super cool. There were so many areas with different ways to interact. From the bounce floor with soccer balls and basketballs to the various slides and ball pits to the balance beam and rock climbing. It was such an exciting experience for the kids and myself, I definitely recommend stretching if you're planning to chase your kids around. There are games for which you need a card and amazing prize options. We didn't get food there but it did smell like pizza which"

"Julia and Hailey were absolutely amazing! Our family is from out of town and ran into a snag once arriving to your facility and these two beautiful ladies did everything within their means to ensure our girls would have the time of their lives. It's hard these days to find exceptional customer service so my husband and I really appreciate how Julia and Hailey helped us out and in a timely manner. Huge KUDOS to these women. Job well done ladies. 💕 Whenever we're back in San Antonio, we'll definitely be visiting again."
