The place is fun and filled with much happiness for me and for all come and enjoy the rides, games, food, fellowship, friendship and food.

It's pretty obvious this place had been around since the beginning of time. While there are a lot of updated games, the bathrooms, decor, and overall maintenance of the place looks old. I came here on a weekday evening to go skating. My boyfriend and I were basically the only guests in the whole place with the exception of 1 kid and his parent. The music was great. It was a mix of pop/rnb/hip hop. Perfect songs to skate to. I actually enjoyed that the rink was empty. The price for skating was a little over $30 for the two of us and included rental. That was a little steep to me. Refreshments are also expensive. A bottled water is $5. It it is 2023 so was to be expected but still a little disappointing. The skates are definitely old and several pairs are missing stoppers. I did see the attendant cleaning the skates so that was impressive. We decided on Funplex because it was the only place that was available for open skate. Other rinks have limited hours or lessons during the week. read more

Upon entering the parking lot, you can tell this place has been around forever with little to none upkeep. This remains sound upon entering as well. My family and I arrived just as it opened, which was nice as barely anyone was here. Upon requesting tickets/cards, the cashier got our order wrong once and gave us a wristband that had no way of securing. We ended up playing the arcade games for awhile as no staff were at the activities. Several of the activity machines were down, but still partially open. My kiddos tried the bumper cars and one of the cars didn't even work. The worker had to get in another car to bump into theirs to get it going for a short 10 seconds. This was a cycle until we gave up and decided to leave this activity. Why even open them if they aren't fully functional? Sure, there are things to do here, but this place isn't the cleanest nor safest in my opinion. read more

Came here to meet some friends that were visiting from out town with their kids (they chose this place) and it served its purpose. It's a bit priced, I paid $120 for four unlimited wristbands, go kart riding, skating and the fun-zone play area was a separate fee. This place is ideal for small kids as my 6 year old and 8 year old had a good time playing all of the games. When we went, all games were working and operating normally. They have a food court and we got pizza, fries and drinks. This place is kind of outdated and the bathrooms were dirty; however, it served its purpose and one could spend hours in here with small kids playing and having fun. read more

This place is a disaster! We are a family of five that visited today. Initial impression gave off a "rundown" but worth a look vibe, kind of like a shopping mall on the verge of being overrun by zombies. The staff couldn't be bothered to even pretend to like working there. I think they wanted to shout out a warning to run for it, but they needed the job. I think there were three restaurants on the website, one was open for business. We left for a local restaurant (a very good choice) and came back to see if we could make this Funplex fun. We couldn't. We each got a $29.95 card that promised three hours of unlimited arcade. There were a lot of broken games (see the pictures). We played a few that worked. There were kiddie rides working that we didn't opt for. The go cart looked operational but no one was using it. It was like the place had potential, but they gave up. Kind of sad. We were so bored that we could only force ourselves to play for about 45 minutes and we were done. My three sons were also done. Shock. I usually have to drag them out of an arcade. Too many other places to have fun in Houston. We will it see the inside of the Funplex ever again. Don't say I didn't warn you! read more

Well if i could give this place negative stars I would. Decided to begin my birthday weekend with a little skating - got there before 9- was told it would 20.00 before 10, and then i would have to pay another 20.00 for the adult night skating. That was HELL NO for me - food was over priced and easily accessible at your grocery store freezer section. Lots of games not working - last visit. Maybe they should tear it down, and start over cause this ain't it. However they should keep the bull. read more

Funplex - Best part of the whole thing! - Amusement Parks Near Me - Houston, Texas

I took my niece here and WE had a great time. To think I came here when I was a preteen and teen and this place is still up and running and is crazy. They have indoor skating, which is kind pricey in my opinion ($20 per person for skate rentals). They have the little indoor rides such as the Ferris wheel, the drop ride, a trampoline section, bumper carts etc. There is a package deal for $50 for two people to ride select rides and play games. I think it's a tad expensive since the games are limited to a 100 points so it goes by fast. I wish the package would have included the go karts. Nonetheless the kid and the adult had a grand time read more

DO NOT COME HERE!!! MONEY SCAM $30 for "all rides" UNLIMITED none of them work! The little kid rides are only 3 of them that are basic! And yes. The little kids are $30 too. Bowling Skating Go carts are also seperate & are so expensive. Theres a play fort playground that is $15 per kid and arcade games with no working games...PLEASE work on these packages! This place has so much potential! For little kid packages you should include the fort and the 3 rides that you have, for $30. The older kids should have access to everything for $40. Also, the building is old & ran by young teens, and i know if the managers invest in it,this could be a great staple to the community. SUCH A SHAME,Please dont come here. Theres also a "rollar coaster" coming soon. So the passes will probably go up to $50...ew. Dont get me started on how dirty & crusty the place is also...their nasty ass food & bathrooms. read more

All bad. If u don't have to come here then don't. I can only speak for the roller rink but it was $20 entrance fee which is already a lot. To make matters worse I asked for a size 8 skate and they came back and said they didn't have 2 of a kind so they gave me an 8 and a 9... (first mistake was not getting my money back right then and there lol). Also the rink itself was super small and the flooring was that of an air hockey machine (if that makes sense). There was also trash on the rink and it was wet in some spots. Also just not on the best part of town. My sister and I walked out within like 10 mins. Waste of $45 bucks (cs we got a locker too). They played good music, and it was nice and loud, I will say that (that's the only reason they get 2 stars). Needless to say, I've been to just about all the rinks in htx and this one was the worst and most expensive by far! Don't waste your time or money - there are much better places to go. read more

date night! I had a great time because we made it a great time. Got their unlimited pass for the evening and rode the rides we were allowed to ride (bumper cars were our favorite). It was a Tuesday night so didn't have to wait for anything to open up. There were a lot of machines that were out of order when we tried to play them; definitely sucked because I was in a competitive spirit and ready to beat him in everything. I wonder how this place is on the weekends. read more

It was pretty cool , but need a lot of renovations. Most games didn't work or was broken. read more

Whoever is making all the decisions for this place and I am taking about the person at the top. Needs to Go! I see the employee & managers turnover rate is high here. Always someone different in charge every time I go there. But, the service and quality never improve. So that tell me it the person at the top that is the problem. Funplex has so much potential to be a great family entertainment center. read more

Funplex = outdated and, trashy. A business ran by people who claim to be Christian but, are actually just another set of fake believers. Because, anybody who is Christian and, ran a business would make sure it's up to par with the Lords standards and, the peoples. The place looks amazing when you walk In despite all the trash, balloons on the ceiling and, the kids they hire that have no respect for anybody whatsoever. You'll soon realize that half of the rides don't work and, the go-karts are slower than Gods special children. The next time you see a kid that knows cursive and, seems like a great choice to hire. Maybe you should :) If you made me manager and, shut that piece of garbage down for 3 months and, gave me 88,000 to renovate the place I'd do it in a heartbeat. If you want customers sell all those slow go Karts and get some Soda 2 strokes. With that track... even Track 21 would have some serious competition. Fix the games, I wish I ran a business. I'm 21 and, I could run anything with fluid ease. Apparently the last generation just gave up. Fun-pled is a testament to that. God bless. read more

I remember bringing my kids here and now have the opportunity to bring my grandkids. To pay the unlimited price and not have all the games working is not good. It was only one tech in the arcade room trying to repair at least 4 games that was not working. That was just the arcade side. It was a few games not working near the rides. When purchasing the unlimited pass please explain what all that incurs (explain what pass is needed for go karts, etc.). read more

I'm at Funplex right now it wasn't my first choice because I was going to the southside sports bar and Grill off of 59 in West Airport but it was ridiculously so many cars trying to get in there even though I had a reservation, I couldn't get in. So, of course, my second go to place which will now be my first go to place was flex on Highway six and Beechnut. There were no crawls. The food was really delicious and the drinks were good and the people in the bar made the ambience in this restaurant, just great no no yelling just watching the game and having a great time. The bartender is spectacular. He's the only one in here and he's able to fix drinks for the clientele inside the bar and for the people that are in the next next building bowling so if you want to have a good time even when it's not football season, I recommend FunPlex it's family oriented. The kids can go on the ride they have for them, they have skating or they can come up in the pub and have a great time with your parents. So check it out. You really have a great time. read more

Funplex - The great bartender - Amusement Parks Near Me - Houston, Texas

Nothing worked, half of the arcade games are off, food court was closed, only three rides worked. Spent $60 total just to get horrible experience and nothing working. Dont waste your money unless you dont care about quality and your kids having fun.. read more

You would think that they used the pandemic shutdown last year to clean the place up, paint the dings in the walls, and fix all the broken rides and games. But no! The place is still run-down, dirty, dusty, filthy, a real germ city. And probably 1/3 of the rides and games are STILL broken! What a rip off. Do not waste your time or your money or your health. Do not come here. read more

$35 + tax for unlimited arcade! The arcade is indeed limited because none of the games work/function properly. The "new" bowling game does not work. The pin wheel bowling game does not work. The transformers game does not work. The water race game does not work. I also paid $8 for bumper cars. $50 for my child to not have a good time. There are signs posted everywhere no refund or exchange. Red flag much! It's like they know this place is over priced and malfunctioning! Asked to speak to a manger who said he would check with arcade to see why so many games aren't working, instead of giving me my money back. Definitely my last time coming here. read more

Funplex - No refund! Or exchange - Amusement Parks Near Me - Houston, Texas

Don't waste your time. Cost $15 per person for the indoor slide, broken rides and dirty. Unlimited play is $80 per person with no activities. $20 per person for the go kart which is a 7 minute ride. A hotdog is $7. Don't believe the online photos. Overpriced. read more

The play port smelled like puke. Half the arcade games don't work. The place was really dirty. Lights flickering in some spots only 3 of the rides were open. The food court was closed. This place looks like it's going down hill super fast. Then aside from all that the employees have an attitude. read more

A lot of the attractions were closed and the food places. I can tell this was once a fun and exciting place to visit. I probably won't recommend it. There are so many other places to go. The bowling alley has really good drinks through. read more

It was a good time but it definitely could have been better. The pins kept messing up so we had to waste our paying time getting employees to go over and fix it. They over charged us for drinks that we never received. They couldn't even bring me simple lemon with my water because "that's not something that they can do". Like what?! read more

Okay but staff was limited and they had no idea where reservations were. No lighting and pizza was not great

i went here as a kid when it was known as fame city. I recently took my wife and son here for bowling and they had a blast. what a deal! for $10 we got shoe rental and unlimited bowling. they have ramps for the smaller kids. the rest of the place is a bit old and outdated, but I can see how this would be a nice place to hang in the summer heat. there's rides, roller skating, go karts and they're even building an indoor roller coaster too. read more

Whoa, whoa whoa!!! What happened here? A lot of negative reviews on this one but I have not experienced this the recent 2 visits on the months of mid February to Beginning March but maybe I got lucky and didn't experience the unwanted bad moments? My last visit here was before I even had kids circa early 90's and all I can say is there are a few changes of course but still an ok place to go to when you've exhausted the other choices on the far end of town where I reside. Parking is plentiful but a little tight (widen those darn things next time you paint the lanes at least 4 inches for Pete's sake). I notice there used to be a movie theater conjoined with this complex but no longer active. There is a nice sized bowling alley. We did rent a lane but from what I see, a few group of people would have a great time there. There are even 4 pinball machines for us old school......of course 2 of them were down but let's see how the fare on the next visit. Both sun and daughter enjoyed this place since it has something for all ages from about the age of 4 to 24. There are at least 4 good sized air hockey tables on the Northeast side (right and to the back). A food court is easily accessible from all rounds of building with lots of tables to accommodate a medium to large weekend night crowd. Face painting, there is a booth here for that and it was only $4 I believe. To play the games here you need to get some currency or your credit card converted to one of their cards like Julliens. There are two kiosks (one was not working, see a pattern here?) where you can skip the line and purchase one of those here. They are located to your immediate right by the face painting/tattoo spot after you descend the little stairs. The bar, I liked it a lot because it seemed different and took me by surprise when I walked in. Why? Because you get blasted with hispanic music (maybe it was a themed night, not sure), lively, open and a little hideway in the back where you can sink yourself in some pretty comfortable chairs. Service on the bar was excellent, the women there was mostly gorgeous and appealing to the tired eye, the made Twin Peak girls look frumpy. Security is right on spot here. I happened to almost get ran over by one when he was responding to a call by the far door by the bar. They don't play and I and my kids felt secure with these fellas here. Keep up the good work guys. I can see where things can get rough and maybe misjudged a few of the regular clientel here but for the most part i would say Sunday through Thursdays are perfect nights to visit here without the riff raff. Friday and Saturday nights you are on your own but that's for you to determine, it gets crowded! Return visits guaranteed. read more

Dulce, our coordinator, was amazing! She put up with all my requests and made our daughter's party happen! All her staff was super helpful and welcoming. Our bartender Cali made the best strongest drinks! She definitely calmed my nerves with those drinks! Our hall was Silver Palace and it was the perfect venue for our daughter. Thank you infinity. read more

If I could give this place a zero I would the place is old nasty and outdated. The staff are very very unprofessional and rude. The restrooms are disgusting and nasty. The food is overpriced. The party host we had never came in not one time to ask if we needed help his name was Edward the short Hispanic kid with short black hair his customer service suck so so bad. He was cussing out loud stating that funflex does pay him enough to wait on customers needs and request he slapped over chairs the decorations that was set up in the area where the party was being done. The manager staff had to come up and help him clean his area because he pouted like a baby the whole entire time. Again, Funplex will never get my services or my hard-working coins. read more

BEWARE - Let's start off by saying I would give this place NO stars if I could. Took my kids here Saturday (4/22/23) after having reserved and purchased a birthday party package and was beyond disappointed. The one star is only because I couldn't give anything less. Considering the amount of money that's being spent on these packages, you would think they could afford to make sure the games and activities are in working order. The arcade is garbage, even bigger kids wouldn't really enjoy if they are into arcade games as 98.5% of the games were "out of order" and the ones they did work didn't work properly. Even having a toddler arcade ride in the hallway with wires sticking out where the control is supposed to be, like WTF!!! And let's not talk about service. They charged me a 57 dollar service fee, but where was the service? We had to go look for our host several times, even sending 2 employees, 2 separate times to look for her to find out what was going on with our food. She said the pizza would be ready at 5 and she didn't come back with it till 5:30. So we had a bunch of hungry 4-6yo and she didn't even know how to hand out the pizza, instead of taking the box around, she stood in one place handed it out slice by slice-which we had to help her do that. When I went to speak to someone in Guest services, they sent me to the event coordinator, she was no help at all. Outside of constantly saying no refunds, no exchanges I was told they could only give me more points to use towards games (which again didn't work) or for activities. When I said I should have just brought the kids and paid separately for activities I was told they charge you $60 to bring in your own cake....that's some b.s. if I ever heard it. Bottom line, go get your money's worth from somewhere else, this place isn't worth the gas spent driving to get there. They just made it look good online. Clearly a tactic to get you in the door. They could have a least given the service fee back as there was no real service being provided. They don't take any accountability for misleading the public. They honestly should be charged with theft of funds!!! This place was a total waste of my $600 and that was the cheapest birthday party package. Please do yourself a favor and learn from my mistake, STAY AWAY!!!!! Set your expectations low for FunPlex if you so choose to go. read more

We scheduled my sister's birthday party here and were pretty disappointed. The two stars is because the skating rink was super fun. We purchased a package for the day - arcades and rides. We went to the bumper cars, only half of the six cars worked. We went to the go-carts, only five of the large cars worked. We went to the arcades, a bunch of the games would take your credits but not work, each pair of in-line skates at the skating rink have on skate missing the top straps. Our pizza was late and we had to ask for it. Why did we pay full price for half service? I went to talk to someone out it in the office. They sent me to Guest Services. Guest Services sent me to an event coordinator. The event coordinator sent me to the manager of games and rides. The manager of games and rides sent me to the event coordinator again. Clearly a tactic to not have any accountability - and they are all probably too underpaid to really care, so I don't blame them. Set your expectations low for FunPlex. read more

It is amazing a great place to make memories and honestly the rides there are pretty fun and most of the staff are nice and everything. Let me tell you the food was so good and I enjoyed skating EVERYTIME I go there read more

This place is terrible. It's too expensive for no reason at all. $21 per person to skate is ridiculous. Highway robbery. Go carts are sooooooooo slow. I paid so much and was forced to leave early because the workers wanted to go home. I was told that I could come back and get a discount on skating because they made us leave early. Cashier at the food court also closed early. We ended up catching her smoking weed in her car. I understand inflation but this is a complete scam. read more

This place is so trash !! You might want to walk around first to see how many games work before you buy a game card !

This place looks exciting online. But, then you get there. We arrived at 12. They open at 11. We approached the ladies at the desk to purchase whatever we needed to get. No one greeted us. Then finally someone from the back I came up. She explained the pricing. We bought $99.99 family of 4 pack. She didn't explain any of the rides. We start walking around. No one was at the ride stations. We make our way to the fireball and no one was there. Then I go to the front where I purchased the tickets or response and I let the lady know that no one was there and if it was open she said to ask someone around I said I did and the go cart people just looked at me. So then she annoyingly walks away and walks out going towards the fire ball and finally somebody was there. We started walking around more and noticed that a lot of things were still not open. The office area had a lot of people sitting around on their phones. We went there to let our one year old clay on the toddler area and it was closed. We purchased $40 each in game coins or tickets whatever you wanna call them, and all of the games were 12 points each so with $40 you only get to play about eight games. We did not know that, or we would have bought the unlimited. The bar area on Sunday I'm assuming does not open until after 5 PM. The environment was very quiet and a lot of people started rolling in but yet no workers around. It was a horrible experience so we left and went to another fun place. I do not recommend at all and we will never be back. read more

0/5 stars. Would NOT recommend. Visiting Houston and tried to find indoor fun for the fam. Website gave this place too much credit. Most everything is run down. Arcade games are 12pts each and only 50% are operational. The kids did enjoy the bumper cars and other little rides, but there was inly 1 operator for 3 rides. Wish we would have taken other yelpers' advice and skipped. Bummed we didn't check out the children's museum instead. read more

Do not waste your money! Each ride is $9 or you can do the unlimited bracelet but mostly everything was closed! One ICEE is $9! We purchased a $30 game card and my son literally played 4 games. This place was dirty, ran down and just expensive for what you get. From the outside the place looks like it could be some fun.. but as soon as you walk in you will be disappointed. This place has so much potential but the lack of up keeping and cost will keep us from ever coming back. read more

The workers are just sitting down on there phones. I won points and went to redeem them and there was no one there. One worker walked in and saw us and then left. Nothing but lazy people read more

Rude and unprofessional management, won't come back again. The place is rundown and needs renovation.

This place is not worth it. It's unsafe and highly unsanitary. They have a lot of arcade games and rides but no one to work anything. So essentially the majority of the time you're waiting around for someone to feel like working to get your tickets used. They say their "short staffed" but you find them huddled outside getting paid to do nothin. On the bumper cars, My kid didn't have her belt on correctly and the employee proceeded to start the cars before doing a safety check. She had her belt strapped around her neck and was being choked. I highly DO NOT recommend this overpriced place. They have signs everywhere that say no phones pics or recording is allowed. And that they are not liable for any injuries. Thus explains the lack of responsibility and work ethic here. My money isn't worth risking my kids lives. They need to close this place down. read more
