They have 3 rooms to choose from depending on the difficulty level and the number of people in each group. We opted for Blue's Arena, which is best suited for 2-4 first-time players. There's a small locker area where you can store your belongings during the game. The hour we booked for was divided into 2 sessions. Each session features a different game with about 10-12 levels each. If you fail a level, no worries because you can always repeat it. You can also take a short break in between the sessions, which we definitely did because it was quite a good workout session.

They had a large shark mascot roaming around and causing a lot of laughs. The Animal Crossing event was fun, we were able to collect stamps from staff at different exhibits and trade them for a prize in the shop. Unfortunately they were low on the Animal Crossing merchandise but getting the patch was still very cool. They had character meet and greets. We stayed for one of them, K.K. Slider. Not sure if they have other characters for meet and greets, but that is who we saw.

While visiting the American Dream mall in East Rutherford yesterday with family from out of town, my partner, his family, and I decided to escape to Sea Life NJ by purchasing via their kiosk. Some of us haven't visited this establishment since it first opened up 4 years ago. Upon arrival, the staff scanned our time slot tickets, and we breezed right into the elevator. It's a smaller, quick-visit aquarium great for an hour and managed to pack a lot into it. It is a walk-through experience where one can marvel at the aquatic animals and read fascinating information on the walls. Especially great for young kids who love interactive features and photo ops. The touch tank was one of the memorable events, being able to touch the sea anemones and starfish. The various tanks looked clean and well maintained. One can pop one's head up into a few tanks for fun pics. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. It's a fantastic destination for families and ocean lovers alike.

Adults Night Out! My…read moreBF and I came here towards the end of the summer for their "Funplex Afterdark". Think games, outdoor pools, food, alcohol and a DJ. The entry ticket purchased also gave access to bowling, bumper cars and several rides. Early arrival is suggested to avoid long lines. The food was very mid (carnival level), the drinks varied depending on which bar you got your drink from. The pool area was jammed pack.... Literally people standing on top of each other. We spent the majority of our time inside where we enjoyed ourselves the most. All in all we had a good time and would go back next summer.

It's a pretty good place if you manage your expectations…read more It's not some uber fancy theme park and it has a modest water park with some more older kids/adults themed stuff like a go kart track and bowling. The arcade is very big and there's a lot of options that would make little kids happy. It's a good place to bring younger kids to kill half a day in the arcades or other amenities, like for a morning and early afternoon run. Or just swing by for a couple of hours before lunch at the arcades and other little attractions there. I wouldn't say it's a more exciting way to spend the day than going to the attractions at American Dream or anything like that. But it's a great place for simple fun and enjoyment on a smaller scale if you don't feel like doing more than just keeping kids or teens occupied for a few hours.

The park is super fun and…read moreenergetic, with tons of trampolines, cool ninja-style obstacles, dodgeball courts, slides, and even a battle beam and zipline that had the whole family trying to outdo each other. My kiddos were always a fan of the youtube channel with Peyton and Ashton so when this place opened we really wanted to check it out. The Ninja Kidz theme really comes through with bright graphics and challenges that feel like the YouTube show. My kids were pretending to be ninjas the whole time and didn't want to leave. The staff was friendly and attentive, keeping an eye on safety and helping the little ones when needed. Everything felt clean and well-maintained, which is a big plus for a trampoline park. It's conveniently located inside the American Dream Mall, making it easy to combine with other activities or grab food afterward. The only downside was it was a bit small for a trampoline park and it got really crowded since we came on a Sunday. The kids were practically jumping on top of other kids. Next time it's probably better to come during off peak hours throughout the week.

It's one of the few places that really works for both ages, which is a huge win for us as parents. We ended up going with the monthly membership, and it's definitely been worth it. It saves money if you plan to go regularly, and we usually make it there at least once a week. Pro tip: go right when they open at 10am. It's way less crowded, and the experience is so much better. Later in the day it can get pretty packed--almost to the point of feeling a bit overwhelming. Overall, great spot for kids to burn energy and have fun. We'll definitely keep coming back.

Thomas the train ride tour was also really fun. They also had rides for big kids as well. These included the shredder, slime fest, Dora the Explorer Sky Coaster. and the Avatar Airbender spinning coaster. My daughter and I went on these multiple times and she had a really good time. Everything is super clean, bright, and colorful. It really feels like stepping into your favorite Nickelodeon shows. The staff was amazingly friendly and helpful, constantly high-fiving the kids and making sure everyone was having a great time. Wait times were reasonable save for a few specific popular rides. We spent the whole day there and never got bored. The food options in the park and the surrounding American Dream Mall are great as well. If you have kids who love Nickelodeon (or even if you just want to feel like a kid again), this place is a must-visit. To quote my kids. "10 out of 10!"

The layout and theming of the park is pretty cool. I've never been to an indoor amusement park so this was definitely an experience. I'm also a fan of all the old (and new-ish) Nickelodeon shows. I loved the Rugrats! I do appreciate that you can walk around and not have to purchase a ticket. My kids had wristbands and I didn't have to pay for myself. That's definitely a huge plus. There are a good amount of rides. A nice area for littles, and some bigger coasters as well. My 9 year old was able to get on a lot of rides, but I feel like my 7 year old felt a little lost. He was too big for the little rides, but too tiny for many of the older rides so I don't think he had as much of a good time. The jellyfish swings were fun and they really liked the slimer roller coaster. My daughter looooved the shredder ride. She also enjoyed the Fairly Oddparents surfboard (skateboard?) ride but after a few rides she started to get nauseous. If you suffer from motion sickness you may want to take it easy at this park. It seems like EVERY ride spins, or has a spinning component. She had to tap out after too much spinning. Overall, the park is fun and interesting to walk around. Personally, my anxiety couldn't take it as the attendants buckled my kids in and I constantly needed to make sure they were doing it correctly. haha.
