Really great place! Unlimited play at the cost of $20. Very glad to have this kind of place in Bloomfield. I enjoyed the wide array of games. I will definitely be back on another occasion with friends.

There's a $20 all you can play retro arcade in Bloomfield, NJ and I have to say, I'm obsessed. I am a gamer at heart, especially when it comes to nostalgic games like Crazy Taxi and Mario Kart. There's over 50 classic arcade games including pinball, skeeball, air hockey, and more. The space is pretty cozy and they have a console room which is cool. They also have a coat rack plus cup holders around the arcade so when they open their beer and wine bar, it's convenient to hold your drink. I love how you can play games unlimitedly and not have to worry about tokens or refilling cards. Pay the $20 admission at the door or online. Definitely fun for a kid's birthday (they have party packages) or date night!

Had a great time! A blast from a past! Would love to check it out later in the night when the kids have gone. Looking forward to the bar too!

Bar opening soon

Such a fun addition to Bloomfield. Loved the dance dance revolution and some of the older arcade games. They have air hockey and are adding a bar soon but are BYOB for now. Will definitely be back soon.

See all

Activate was so much fun! I did it with my best friend - definitely fun with 2 or more people each…read moreroom had different games. Definitely a fun & quick way to get a workout in when visiting the American dream. Staff was super friendly & always asked if we had any questions regarding each game we were about to enter.

Right in the American Dream mall, easiest if you park in parking level A on the ground or first…read morefloor. We went on a Saturday, and it was quite busy. I suggest coming on a weekday if you do not want to wait a minute or two for each game! You have 45 minutes for unlimited game access, with about 9-10 games to choose from. Each game only lasts 2-4 minutes tho, depending on the game. When entering, they provide a locker for any bags or items you want to place. They give you two wristbands (one for game access and the other for a locker of your belongings). The staff was so friendly. I was running out of breath and trying to rush to get our last game in and he told me to relax and have fun! The staff also takes the time to explain each game in the beginning and although it was busy, they definitely made the experience so much more fun. Some of the games are a bit complicated, and hard to understand even after the game explains it to you! My favorite was the grid. Me and my boyfriend made a tiktok about activate and it went viral! At the end, you can redeem your points earned for a prize. Me and my boyfriend got the keychain that also provides 10% off your next visit within the next 30 days. Definitely can NOT wait to come again!

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Impressively large space consisting of a variety of arcade games, bowling alley anddddd batting cages! + The Humdingers Cafe is super spacious and has quite a large food menu that includes burgers, pizza, sandwiches, sides, drinks and desserts (ice cream). ++++ There are A LOT of tables and seats in the cafe. + They offer a variety of group packages for birthday parties, company events, special events, school gatherings, etc. + Multiple private party rooms in the back. + Private party we attended was very well organized and there were 2 private party coaches making sure that the party was kept on time for the activities planned. + Large private parking lot outside. THE NOT SO GOOD ----------------------------- - As expected, it's very loud inside with all of the arcade games, so don't expect to be able to have much of a conversation with people. MIXED THOUGHTS ---------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = We came for a birthday party at 3 PM on a June Saturday and it was busy inside, but not overly crowded. The batting cages were occupied, but, once again, not overly so. The bowling alley was pretty much empty, except when our group was in there for 30 minutes.

I'm not sure if it was the night we went but the service was terrible…read more This place is a byob spot but if you don't bring anything you can buy a bottle of wine but you must buy food with it..it can get super expensive quickly. The food is alight. This is a place that get pretty packed. My experience there was a unique one. I got a game card and loaded it up with $30 to use to play in the arcade. However most of the games weren't working. There were games that looked to be worked but it turns out they weren't. So basically any money I had on my card got eaten up and when I went to customer service they claimed to put it back but when I checked the balance it wasn't true. Perhaps it was the card but it was just a terrible experience. A lot of the people working seemed very inexperienced.

My Funplex experience was AMAZING! A friend saw a post online about an After Dark event so we…read morebooked it. The After Dark hours were from 9PM-1AM for a 21 and over crowd. When we arrived, everything was up and running as if it were daytime. All the games, rides and attractions were in service. I rode Go Karts for the first time in yearrrs and I actually came in first place. Me! That was dope. The BIG FUN though was all the water rides. Lazy River, pool tubing and the main pool were all open and full of people ready for a great time. We were treated to a DJ who understood the crowd assignment and shoutout to the most wonderful staff. All employees on this night were in a great mood and they gave party vibes too. The promoters didn't over sell this event, so crowds and lines weren't a problem at all. I had such a blast that I wasn't even mad about getting my phone wet. I'm looking forward to going back to The Funplex for another After Dark night out. I thought they were gonna shortchange us but that didn't happen. We were given the whole experience. Good stuff!

We got wristbands and although it was rainy on and off they were able to keep operating since there wasn't a danger such as thunder or lightning. Lines weren't long because of the weather. They provide life jackets. They have many lifeguards. There is a picnic area for the public but a separate one for birthday parties. Pizza and wings weee good. Had lots of refreshment options and also adult beverages you could purchase. The people working the birthday side were upbeat and friendly.
