This was a great place for my kiddo to roam around and disperse some energy. The Yelp promo is awesome too. Parents can get in free. Staff was super helpful and polite. We enjoyed our time here and so did my kiddo. read more

I have been here a couple times and they have made some upgrades from before. My son, who was 3 at the time really enjoyed himself. The size of the facility is just right, not too big, not too small. Has a couple bounce house, arcades and play area for kids to enjoy for about an hour or so. The price is not bad at all, about $15 and you can spend anywhere between $10-$20 on tokens for the arcade games easily. Have yet to try the food and I think I will pass on that anyways. I appreciate them having TVs for the grownups to watch football or other sports to keep you entertain as well. Overall, I would recommend coming here on a weekend as a place to take your little one between the ages of 2-6 to get away for a bit. read more

Loved everything about FunTime Junction! I celebrated my son's second birthday there today and everything went so smooth and hassle free. The party coordinator Amanda was amazing I must've called like 5 times to make changes to my party and every time I called she was super pleasant and helpful! Jess was my party host and from the minute I walked in she took over and I sat and relaxed. Jess is not only wonderful with the kids she was also super wonderful to the adults. Joe at the food area was super friendly and funny. The only con I had was that I wish we had the party room for a tad bit longer but I also understand that it was a Saturday and they had a ton of parties today. read more

FunTime Junction - Kids Activities Near Me - Fairfield, New Jersey

I took my friend's kids here and they had the best time!!! Plus it was easy for me - I was easily able to keep an eye on them while they had the time of their lives. But the most impressive thing to me is what happened once we were ready to go home. I couldn't find my phone anywhere. The entire staff - from the manager Scott to the rest of the team - was incredibly helpful. They were kind to the kids, they let me use their phone, and they helped me search for it. Ultimately, one of them found it for me. I'm so grateful and would 100000% recommend to anyone looking to give kids a great time. read more

We've been coming here for over 10 years. It's very affordable and from what I can see it's clean. My kids love coming here. We all get wristbands and get buzzed into the play area, so kids can not just walk out. Kids must wear socks because it's a no shoes play area. Parents can wear shoes inside. Plenty of rocking chairs, seating areas for parents to watch your kids play, TVs to watch. There's lots of climbing and slides, a bouncy house, a pirate themed foam ball area, a toddler area with toddler friendly toys, an amusement ride inside and lots of games and skee ball. They have a prize counter to cash in your tickets. They sell pizza and other foods along with drinks though we don't eat here. The food area is always clean, never sticky tables or overflowing garbage. Plenty of room for hanging coats in the winter. Always find the ladies room clean, no dirty toilets or smelly diapers in the garbage. Has separate changing area. You can have birthday parties here but we never did. The only thing I could say is that in all the years coming here they've never changed anything when it comes to the layout. They now have staff supervising the kids, (used to be parents watch only) which I like. Bring a sweater or light jacket because it's always freezing, at least to me it is. read more

Great place for kids to have fun. So much fun activities to do. My daughter and nieces had a blast!

NEVER AGAIN! $10 to get in this tiny place that gets you into the play area. There are 15 games to play. We bought $20 worth of coins which gets you 100. They could only give us 40 because they had to go empty the machines for more coins. The woman told my husband to come back in 5 minutes for the rest. He did and a guy said you shouldn't have left. But that's what she told us to do! All the games are 50 cents or a dollar. Some don't give out the tickets you should get. 3 are broken. The place is mobbed and I have 3 kids looking for something to spend their tokens on. They're on their way to the game where you try to get a plastic dinosaur that $2 because the already won 3 bouncy balls. read more

FunTime Junction - $3 for a stuffed banana from the crane game. - Kids Activities Near Me - Fairfield, New Jersey

This is a great place to come to with my active toddler! Climbing, jumping, games and mini rides! Downside- very cold bathrooms especially in winter! Some areas could be cleaned better, a few layers of dust accumulating! read more

Solid place! There was enough to interest my twin 2 yr old girls for the duration. Plenty for older kids too. You're not going to find another place that offers the same for 10 bucks a kid on a Saturday to play all day. Parents free. Staff accommodating. Bathrooms fine. There's an assortment of interactive arcade themed games for additional charge (ie a token card like Dave and busters) including a miniature air hockey table. Also for extra is lazer tag and helicopter ride. Not too much extra mind you. Great jungle gym, lots of tunnels etc. Bouncy house and castle. Treehouses etc. Solid cafe with seperate seating. My kids had a mix of what we brought em and some pizza from cafe. I'm thinking bout having my kids party here. There are a handful of private rooms. Great value. Clean place. Found offer for first timers to get one admission free for checking in on Facebook. No problem redeeming offer. Download the app for $5 off your visit. My kids can't wait to go back. read more

A little outdated. Many of the attractions were broken. Wasn't much to do with my toddler and wasnt enough staff for the number of children and adults in the place. I wouldnt go back there are many indoor playgrounds with more updated attractions for the same price. read more

Cool spot, would come back. 9.95 per kid and they can run around in socks for soft play all day. Bathrooms were clean. Staff was friendly. Only con was that the bouncy house was closed on a Friday. read more

FunTime Junction - My view from the rocking chair they have for the parents. - Kids Activities Near Me - Fairfield, New Jersey

Where do I start? Self-titled owner, Scott, was consistently rude to my cousins, the party hosts for their triplets. The party was scheduled from 2 to 4, and we were quickly rushed out of the room towards the end. The assigned party hostess, Cat, was kind as she helped us pack up the room so the next group, scheduled for 4 to 6, could occupy the room. Apparently, Cat, a young teen, was new. She didn't plan early enough to distribute laser tags, a purchased add-on option for party guests. Our group was given several laser tag tickets for a future visit by Scott, only after my cousin mentioned that we hadn't received them. Unfortunately, her guests had already left. I mentioned to Scott that the gesture would prove futile, as we had no intention of returning, due to the way our guests were treated(see list below). He began rambling on about all the freebies he allegedly included in the party package, one of which he mentioned was allowing three families to have one party. We reminded him that our three birthday honorees were triplets - he said he hadn't realized that! He then said that he would comp the final bill, but would deduct the amount from Cat's tip (which, by the way, IS ILLEGAL)! We told him that wasn't fair, but he replied that it was her fault we didn't get the laser tag vouchers in time and that she didn't properly manage the party/time. Keep in mind, he had just acknowledged that Cat is a new employee! We will be reporting the illegal theft of Cat's tip to the proper authorities, and hope she sees this review and does the same. Below is a list of other offenses experienced today... 1. Tripkets' grandfather (in a wheel chair) was told he could not eat popcorn on "the floor" as we were sitting, watching the triplets play, after being ejected from the party room. There was a little girl, about the age of 4, sitting next to us munching away who was not gIven the same restriction. Scott later apologized. 2. Guests were instructed to leave their gifts at the front reception, where they'd be bagged and stored til after the party. Unfortunately, my cousins had no way of accounting for the gifts they received. 3. Scott repeatedly jumped in our private conversations that he overheard concerning our dissatisfaction, and told me that I was not the host, when my cousin asked me address, in her behalf, her concerns. 4. When we told Scott that we would be voicing our feedback on yelp, he replied "yelp awsy@. If this is how you'd like to be treaated, then this is your place; otherwise any other venue has to be better than this. $26/child is way too much for the class of service and accommodations received. Update: I refuse to go back and forth with this obviously unprofessional and defensive "business owner", but I will say this: No one ever mentioned the ethnicity of anyone involved in the double standards imposed by the staff, nor did we. Air any implications. A kicked dog will s as Leary's bark.... As you can see, some weeks later, the horrible experience continues with this guy. None of us will be returning. I'd be surprised if the staff stays. He said he was going to take money from the tip that was authorized for the staff to credit the parent/party host - TERRIBLE. read more

This place has many nice activities for children of all ages. Although my biggest problem is paying for admission and then paying for tokens in order to use 95% of the activities. So the $22+ you're paying is basically only to enter the place. Go to Chuckecheese or Rise & Grow if you want much more bang for your buck! read more

We been coming here for years unfortunately the place is been declining in cleanliness and now its really showing lack of care. Bathroom are filthy first hour after opening therefore they never clean them from the day before. They using corners the facility and under slides as storages. Food is nothing to look for burn popcorn bad pizza and discussing coffee. We won't be coming back. read more

Took my 5 year old son.Loves it.My 13 year old daughter got over it pretty quickly .The laser tag game was really fun.Its like a amped up chuck e cheeses.Great for youngsters.After about an hour I was hoping my little one would get tired so that we can go.He didn't,I had to bribe him with ice cream. read more

FunTime Junction - Sunday fun day with the kids - Kids Activities Near Me - Fairfield, New Jersey

I took my daughter there for her bday party when i walk in i was told i had to pay for her as well i was very upset because the party host over the phone never told me that the 2 times we spoke over the phone then i found out that they claim that kids can built there own teddy bear in which is not true plus i though i was waiting to have a table for the family it ended up that we could only use a room where they cut her cake for only 10 mins my daughter had a great time Personally i dont recomended for anyone to book a party maybe yes for a few hours if no where to go & not to mention that my party host was no where to be found but yes at the end they want to get tip i ended tiping her because maybe after all it was not her fault read more

It was OK. Not sure it was worth the 30 min drive from Bergen County but my three year old had a decent time. I did a little research before and bought the basic package and some tokens for the arcade games. Issue is that I didn't realize that the FUN bouncy house with a slide was not included. My son ran over and was pushed repeatedly out of the way by a staff member who was appointed "bouncer" for the day. By the time I got to him he was probably PUSHED aside by her three or four times. When I asked if he was allowed to bounce as I was a little confused as to why he was being shoved aside, I was told he doesn't have the correct color bracelet. No scene was made as I didn't want to put a damper on my child's time. But, I couldn't enjoy the rest of our time there, it was ruined for me. TIP FOR PATRONS - check what the price includes, or your toddler might be pushed aside. Honestly the savings I made not going local wasn't worth the unpleasant experience. However the kids will likely have a great time regardless. read more

This place was good. When we got there there were about 150 camp kids. The front desk lady asked if we minded and I said no but soon after I regretted it. It's not a huge place and with 150 school aged kids my 3 year old wasn't getting a chance to play anything! Luckily they left after an hour of us there and then we were able to enjoy ourselves. My advice, call ahead to see if any groups are there. I almost walked out. The arcade section had much to be desired. Many machines ate my tokens and very few tickets were dispensed. I've been to many arcades and ticket wise this was the worst. Broken and outdated machines ugh. If they would just keep up Maintenance such as reloading the tickets and making sure they actually worked it would be ok. The helicopter ride was definitely fun for my kiddo. No lines and only $3. The food was eh ok. Typical kid food. Not that tasty but whatever my kid ate it all without complaining so he must have liked it. I would definitely go back for the maze area on a rainy day or something like that. Nice, clean place just needs a little tweaking in the arcade area. read more

I've been there twice for birthday parties (on weekends) and it's just complete mayhem. All the birthday party kids are in the one big room playing and it's so wild. They call the name of the birthday kid over the loudspeaker and you have to try to herd the kids from all over into the "party room" where you have cake and pizza and such. The big gym thing they crawl through is so intricate that you can't really see where you kid is most of the time. The bathroom was super gross- pee on the floor in front of the toilet and generally sticky. Personally, it's a really stressful place for me. Maybe it's better on the weekdays. It seems like there's no real "adult" working there, a lot lot of high school kids. read more

Father of 3 girls here. I can't say enough good things about this place! First of all, don't pay attention to reviews older than 2018. The place is under new management and they are really committed to giving our kids a fun place to burn some energy, get off their stupid devices, and have fun. It was good before...it's great now! The place is clean, huge, and a great value for the money. All 3 of my kids love it, even though they are seperated by a few years...there is enough for each of them at their level. As other commenters note, sometimes it gets a bit crowded and that may overwhelm some youngsters, but no more than any other play area on days when kids are out playing. The difference here is that it's totally safe there is so much to do that kids don't have to fight over access to one particular section. My kids can't wait for their next trip. read more

Having been to similar places near home in CT, and after watching the creepy and dizzying video on their website, I had low expectations for Funtime Junction. It turned out to be a fun place to spend an afternoon with the kids. It was much cleaner and not as loud as I expected. They have EVERYTHING there: gerbil tunnels and slides, laser tag, a big playhouse, a toddler playscape, cozy coupes for little kids, skee-ball and other prize games, and a helicoptor ride. The eating area had MANY options, none of which are on the USDA food pyramid. It's typical "kid food": fried stuff, pizza, chips, cookies. And about 8 flavors of slushie!! I would recommend FunTime Junction for kids 12 and under... there's something to keep every age occupied. And since there is only one exit, which is watched by the staff, I didn't worry about my older kids running off and doing their own thing. The bathrooms were very clean, spacious, and well-lit. The website doesn't tell you what their regular price is: it's $7.50 if you pay cash, $8.50 for credit/debit. And half price for kids under 2. Adults get it free. The games and some rides cost extra. read more

BEWARE! They are under new management as of last week. We went today(Sunday 1/19/2014) and we usually would have paid $7/child for free play. We have 2 children so it would have usually came out to $14 w/ parents free. Today it was over $10/child and $3 for 1 adult which came out to $24.95!!! The reason why this place was great was because it used to be a great deal and you would have received your monies worth. Now to go there for a couple of hours for $25 is not worth it. Large jungle gym and pay extra for tokens for arcade games. Will not go back unless they lower prices or have a special going on. I wonder how much higher the party prices are now. Bathrooms were also disgusting! Higher prices for filthy bathrooms! Reviews prior to mine was when it was under the old management with better prices. read more

Disappointed in the management (Andrew) and false advertisement on the website. We were looking for a new place to bring our 3 and 2 year old. We literally travel all over the state trying out different play areas. We found this place on the internet and thought we would take the hour drive to check it. WISH WE DIDN'T! Don't get me wrong the place had fun things for kids to do BUT you have to bring your wallet and expect to pay for almost EVERYTHING - even the jump house! So why am I disappointed.... when I approached one of the workers as to why the jump house wasn't opened he said because they didn't have enough staff. I then asked to speak with the manager (Andrew). Andrew stated that it wasn't open during the week, my daughter wasn't tall enough (even though she was) and it costs extra money. I stated that the website doesn't mention any of this. He starred at me and said "We are under renovation and our website isn't updated yet." I then stated that the website doesn't mention anything about additional prices for all of the play areas. He again stated "We are under renovation and the website isn't updated yet." As a working mom of 2 who traveled an hour to be told "the website is not updated yet" isn't acceptable. I am a business woman who runs a large company, I deal with people all day long so I understand the importance of customer service. Andrew did not display good customer service (especially when you are working in the kid business). read more

Had my sons birthday party last week. Went great! The hostess was very accommodating in terms of sequence of activities. The place itself can keep kids entertained for a long time. I like the chairs facing the play area - as adults can sit and relax while watching kids. Will definitely recommend the place. Only suggestion would be to fix the helicopter ride so all units go up/down. read more

My 3yr old loves it. It's limited stuff, but practically that's all you need. There is arcade, there is inflated areas to play, play ground, food. We were pretty satisfied being here for 3hrs read more

This place has gotten a renovation and I'm a very pleased parent. They have a ton of options for the kids to jump and play. It's amazing for these winter days when you don't know what to do with the little ones. My entire family had a great time. We sipped coffee while the children danced and jumped. My husband watched the football game because we went on a Sunday (lol such a great perk that they were showing the game.) The staff was amazing and they were all treating us so kind with a smile at all times. I did notice them a little flustered on their own they seemed understaffed but they tired so hard for it to not show. I recommend they hire a couple of more staff members or maybe it was just a busy Sunday. Overall we had a great time. read more

The place is fun for the kids but the managing and the staff members is horrible! We got assigned a staff girl that apparently didn't like her job because even though my party started at 4 it was 4:15 guests were arriving and she was in the staff room hanging out with her coworkers, we had to call several time other staff members to check in guests, all the staffs were unwelcoming college kids, the manager wasn't around or checking, my pizza was 20 minutes late the manager said "I was not aware the food wasn't here yet " ... great managing skills! Then at party room again our host away al the time we had to serve drinks to the kids ourselves, service sucked! Overall bad bad experience! And to make it even worse the front girl run my credit card 3 times my account was locked... what else can I say, excellent place for kids horrible staff members and manager! read more

I walked in it smelled like poop. The service was terrible and the people working did not want to be there. There was a little boy there just eating all the candy behind the counter. I brought my kids to have fun and the workers were so nasty and mean I do not recommend this place read more

First time here visiting family from out of town. Basically it is a chucky cheese without the mouse and with fewer games. You pay $10 each to get in, then more for games, rides, laser tag, etc. Many of games were partially broken or not working at all. It may be fine for a birthday party or if raining and you have no other options, but our 2,4,&6 year-old boys were only marginally entertained. On the plus side, it was clean. We will not be returning. read more

Okay, why do I have to pay to get in when I have to spend $$$ to buy tokens? With two kids, I spent $20 to get them in and then had to spend another $20 on tokens. Most of the games require two tokens to play, so my two kids only played 5 games each. For $40!!!! Did you hear that? Each of my 2 kids played 5 games for $40!!! Not the cleanest environment either, might I add. The little ride you see in the picture wasn't running either, which made me crazy having to tell my two little ones no, you can't ride this 15 times!!! The staff was very friendly and helpful, however. I will not be returning here...EVER!!! Such a ripoff! read more

Ok, here's what to expect in 2016 if you go to Funtime Junction: Everyone working there was extremely polite and helpful No crowds on weekdays, have not been there on weekends Only pizza, candy and soda/juice/water on weekdays Weekends the menu seems much more diverse It is clean, bathrooms were spotless Only a few broken items, the token machine next to register has been broken for weeks, but there's another one 1 carousel type/amusement park ride cost an extra $3 Unlimited use of the main bouncy house included in $9.95 entry fee for each child (6.95 on Tuesdays) as far as I know adults are always free Awesome jungle gym/obstacle course perfect for ages 2+ IMO Arcade games and little rides like you would see in a mall, all cost extra tokens Tickets won at arcade can be exchanged for small prizes or candy I've been twice now, and today we asked a few friends to come, after I tested it alone with my 30mo. They had a blast, which was true vindication! Things they can work on: Waited to buy helicopter tickets so long, operator told me to ride first and pay later so I wouldn't have to wait any longer Middle center of obstacle course you climb over is frayed and looks old Bouncy house has a small leak inside just to left of door. Keep up the cleanliness and good work!!! read more

Great place to bring the kids to go all out especially when the weather outside is frightful. The only complaint is the place is mobbed on the weekends but can't complain as long as I can find a place to sit and the kids know where to find me. read more

Let me start by saying I should have listened to some of the reviews. This place was FILTHY DIRTY!!! It opened at 10.....we arrived at 10:15 and the garbage was overflowing. There were piles of dust on the floor and in the corners. Half of the games did not work and the staff were a bunch of high school student who didn't know their a$$ from their elbow. We did not spend much time there because I was utterly grossed out. Gave my son a bath as soon as we walked in the door. There are other places that are more fun and CLEANER! What a rip! read more

Fun place for my kid. He had a blast, lots of fun games and staff was super nice. We will definitely host his birthday party there. Thank you for showing us a great time read more

This is probably the best place in the area hosting parties for young kids. The only negative is that some kids have been there many times and might get a little bored with it. I wish they had better food for adults, but I guess FTJ is all about the kids. read more

Went back today for the first time in 4 years. I was never planning on coming back bc 4 years ago when i came it was old and run down and there and nothing to do, but people have been recommending lately to go there, so i gave another shot. Apparently, there is new ownership and you can tell. The kids had a blast, while the parents can relax. We bought everything, the deluxe entrance, helicopter rides, laser tag and a $25 game card( which comes with extra game credits). It definitely was enough for the kids to spend several hours there. They also got some cool prizes afterwards with their tickets. Niko, the young gentlemen there is an asset to your team. He is kind, helpful, and great with the kids. Stands out from the rest of the staff. Don't lose him. My only complaint is at the end, Niko was the only employee in the front, and the poor guy was running around from the front entrance, to the helicopter ride, to laser tag, all while cashing out our tickets and prizes ( ps. He handled it all fantastic) but the rest of the staff that were there earlier couldn't give 2 hoots and weren't very friendly. read more

This is one of those "try to fit everything for kids into one place" from a climbing/obstacle course to laser tag. The video games are outdated and cost multiple tokens(special funtime junction ones) to play, and the food court/area is clean enough for the volume of people there, but there aren't any healthy choices on the menu. My 2 boys were there for almost 3 hrs and were pretty much done because you can't bring your own food and I wasn't buying them the fried greasy choices offered. I would say the value of admission for under $10 each was worth the time spent. read more

What an amazing experience! My daughter and I had a blast! Lots of different attractions to keep us busy for hours! Can't wait to return for another visit!! The staff was very friendly and interactive! read more

It's been awhile since we've been but it was a great life saver for my overly energized only child. Affordable and allowed me to relax while she ran like a nut. I know she was happy to not hear the words no, don't, stop, sit down! Great fun for the young ones. read more

I was overall pleased with my experience here. I had my twin daughters birthday on a Saturday. I was prepared to find a jam packed place full of parents and children. So I knew what I was walking into. It was 2 hours of mayhem and I did feel rushed since it is only 2 hours. Can't say it's the cleanest place but with places like this or a Chuck E. Cheese, it is expected. So have hand sanitizers on hand and bathe your kids when you get home! Our host was very kind, and helpful and I was pleased with his overall politeness. My only recommendation would be to include coins in their regular entrance price. Chuck E. Cheese doesn't charge an entrance fee which is more appealing to parents. read more
