This is the second largest mall in the US, but it didn't feel massive or overwhelming to visit…read more The external architecture is nothing to write home about; it's very unassuming and quite bland from the outside. It is the perfect place to bring kids. The amount of activities all in one place is quite remarkable. There's the Nickelodeon theme park, DreamWorks water park, Sesame Place, Legoland, mini golf, laser tag, an arcade, an aquarium, and much more. Everything is indoors and connected, so it's super easy to get from one place to the next. There is even a bridge to the MetLife stadium next door. In addition to the more interactive attractions, there are tons of food options and regular mall stores. There is a connected parking garage and parking rates are extremely reasonable. We were there for about 5 hours and paid $6.40. It's very easy to get around with a stroller, but there isn't a ton to do for kids under 1, I'd say. The Nickelodeon theme park did have a play space with blocks and places to climb for young ones, but all the rides, including the trains, required kids to be 3 feet and up in height. You can easily spend a whole day here. Each attraction has a separate fee so things can add up quickly, but it's a great place for endless entertainment.

This mall is immense! Cost us $6.50 to park for the day. Loads to do and a high price tag to see it…read moreall! It's a great fun-plex for families offering an amusement park, water park, ninja adventure park, aquarium, Lego land, multiple mini-golf experiences, a SNOW HILL to ski or snowboard or tube down (even has a play in the snow option for littles), and an ice rink that transitions to a court for other activities. The met life stadium is right across the road along with a hotel super close. That all being said they struggle with quality. They made the halls look beautiful the array of options immense but unfortunately quality is slipping through the cracks. Still an epic experience but starting to go down a smidge in comparison to previous years. The food options need help and the easily accessible food court with typical fast food was overrun there was not enough seating and no way for cleaning crew to keep up so expect a dirty table if you choose the third floor cafeteria. The restaurants were ok but overpriced immensely considering what you get. Is it worth visiting? Absolutely. It's a fun experience walking the halls seeing the art and everything they offer. Would I go there regularly? Absolutely not. For reference a family of four attempting to go to the water park on a weekend should expect roughly $100 a person just to get in. Almost every place we went the beginning price for a family of four was minimum $100. I'd use that as the gauge to budget and plan. Their website sucks and lagged endlessly and glitched multiple times which made it hard to research so I ended up just googling each activity along with the location to get to the right pages. Plan a whole day and know you won't see it all in a day, they will be adding a movie theater and I believe go carts soon!

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!

Zoey is the sole reason this review should be a 5 star because she was super kind and hyped up the party. The party manager was also great in answering any questions or concerns I had. Overall though for the money that's paid it felt like things were up in the air. The balloons were placed elsewhere ... it was just overwhelming to feel so lost.

A true disappointment! Even though under 2 is free, you must pay $45 to enter as a parent (and if…read moreyou're alone, you're limited to the few things they offer to toddlers). -Splash pad closed due to low attendance before we made it there. I would have loved to at least sit in a chair and enjoy the fountains with my toddler even though it was a cooler day -Train car closed because, according to an employee, the person driving it was exhausted and there was low attendance -No animals were out in the animal area They are very clear there are no return tickets or refunds. She was only able to do the carousel, walk through the Christmas village (which scared her-- see photo), take a weird truck ride where you see painted cutouts of animals rather than real ones, and see the 15-minute outdoor show. Staff could truly not have been nicer, but my feedback is for management-- the day felt poorly run with little regard for full-priced paying customers. My main feedback: They claimed to be understaffed waiting for international students, but if that is the case, I would have loved to know what was closed before paying to enter or be offered the opportunity to return on a day when I could justify the ticket price. If either of these had happened, I wouldn't be dissatisfied.

They do have value passes for daily usage, or they do have annual passes too which is cool. They got a cafeteria that serves Pizza, hot dogs and snacks located all the way in the right-hand side corner and lot of tables and place to eat. They got some beverages too. The restrooms are well maintained and clean for usage. The staff is friendly, and this place is definitely worth visiting to take younger kids to play. We visited this location on a Sunday evening and the place was almost full. Like other locations, they do have private party hall and then some common party area with benches and chairs. Definitely a good place to spend some time for a party!!

You can walk around for free and purchase wristbands if you want to enjoy the rides. I came on a Thursday and lines were not too long. Most rides require kids to be 3 feet in height. There were not really any options for babies under 1, except for a play space with blocks and climbing. They have a good amount of seating and a small arcade inside as well. It's part of the American Dream mall with tons of other attractions, including a water park and an aquarium, so it's a great place to spend a full day.

We did bundle tickets with the water park. We visited on a Saturday. We arrived around 10:30am and…read morethere was a line already for the 11:00am opening. They had a character come out for pictures for some entertainment. I visited with a 48" kid and a 36" kid. The taller one could go on most things but they interpreted 48" as not tall enough to ride things that said "those 48" and under" must ride with an adult, so since I was unable to leave the smaller child, he couldn't ride those ones. The smaller kid was limited in rides though. No roller coasters for the little one which was disappointing for her. I loved the 90s Nickelodeon nostalgia. Still had a bunch of Paw Patrol for current littles. There's also an arcade but luckily I was able to avoid that. We went to the food court for lunch and returned after. There are also character appearances-we got pics with Marshall and Rafael. I'd love to return when my little is just a little bigger!

There are a lot more for the younger crowd than other parks around the area. The go karts and batting cages are a nice addition. There's a parking lot right behind and next to the park, so no searching for parking. There's a waterpark across the street, Runaway Rapids. We can't wait until the summer to go. It's so much fun.
