Children under 36" are free and can get on rides with a full paying adult. Came here just before 11am and the place was half full. We were able to get on rides pretty much straight away. There are 11 rides in total, not all available to children under 36 inches. There are also games kids can play for $5 per go. We kept going from one ride to another. The rollercoaster takes picture as you on the ride and charges $6 for one picture or $10 for two. I bought two and realised upon paying there was a QR (digital download) option for $3 per picture. I asked the lady about it and she said "sometimes it does not work so we don't advertise it". Bought lunch in the venue as well. Chicken tenders and fries were $12.50. Also bought ice cream for $6. Not the cheapest but pretty convenient. There were also magic shows being run every couple of hours. The magician was pretty funny for the kids but after a couple of goes with the same content.. Apart from paying extra for the pictures, I had a great time and will come back again. It's a relatively cheap day out if you go on many rides. It is also a good alternative for the last two weeks of summer breaks when most camps are done for the season.

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.

American Dream is a multiple floor destination experience with over 400 stores and attractions, featuring an indoor theme park, water park, ski slope and high-end luxury stores, over 70 food options from fast-casual to fine dining. And with no sales tax on clothing, American Dream makes it easy to indulge in exceptional attire. It is always a treat to visit American Dream and there is always something to do for everyone. It's definitely not my first time at American Dream, but most recently, on Saturday, August 1 and Sunday, August 2, 2026 , I visited American Dream since I was attending BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' at MetLife Stadium. There is an enclosed pedestrian bridge that connects the mall directly to MetLife which made it very convenient to go back and forth. My first stop at American Dream was The Rink @ The Arena to pick up my pre-ordered merchandise on Weverse Shop. There were signs indicating which way to go. The process was very smooth and easy. During the weekend, Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) brought "Your Korea Starts Here" to American Dream 11:30 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. (both days) for free. It was an immersive K-Tourism roadshow featuring traditional Korean music and dance performances, K-Pop performances and Random Play Dance, K-Pop quizzes, dance challenges, and audience participation, Korean food and K-Beauty experiences, interactive cultural exhibits and photo experience, commemorative event charm collection, Korea travel information and destination inspiration, promotional giveaways and prizes hosted by partner organizations at American Dream Court A. Attendees who register on-site will also be eligible to enter a drawing for a round-trip flight between Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Seoul (ICN). The event showcases both Korea's rich traditions and contemporary lifestyle, learning about Korea's culture, tourism, and lifestyle into a celebration of Korean culture, travel, food, beauty, and entertainment to experience Korea firsthand while discovering why it has become one of the world's most dynamic travel destinations. The "Your Korea Starts Here" event was so much fun and everyone was very friendly. I really enjoyed meeting other people and the vendors. On August 1, 2026, the American Dream Mall also hosted The Hambletonian Show inside The Garden Court. I had the opportunity to meet Aiden & Pearl, friendly ponies from the organization HorseAbility. Besides checking out the events, I also walked around and checked out a few stores. There are plenty of seating options around. Anytime I go to American Dream, it is always a treat and I look forward to my next visit.

1 star - More Nightmare Than Dream…read more (But giving a 3 star since what was actually open was fun.) Took my daughter to American Dream Mall for her birthday weekend, expecting water slides and celebration shakes. What we got was a masterclass in disappointment. The water park was closed for electrical work. Fine -- things happen. So we headed to the shake shop to salvage the birthday with one of their fancy cake-topped frappés. Also closed. At this point the "dream" branding was starting to feel like false advertising. The hotel situation wasn't any better, not that the mall can be blamed for this. But fair warning to others who traveled as far as we did for this magical weekend. Pool closed for the entire weekend -- not for a quick cleaning, but pending state inspection results that could take "days to weeks." Called around to other hotels thinking we'd just move. Same story everywhere. Apparently post-Memorial Day weekend triggers mandatory state testing after high guest volume, and every pool in the area was in limbo. Nobody mentioned this when we booked. Back at the mall, the game room -- where the closed shake shop lives -- lost power entirely. And if that weren't enough, the fire alarm spent a good chunk of the afternoon flashing and blaring "there is a fire in the building, evacuate immediately" on repeat. Not once. Multiple times. So to recap: no water park, no birthday shake, no hotel pool, no game room, and a fire alarm that cried wolf so often we genuinely weren't sure whether to panic or just keep walking. Happy birthday, kid. At least the parking lot was open.

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 went on a weekday during spring break. We came for a 7 year old friend's birthday. My daughter and the birthday girl had a blast playing all the things. One of the girls is under 48" so that limited the rides available to her. Some things such as the go karts need an accompanying adult. It's adults did not get the passes for ourselves so they weren't about to do the go karts. Just something to keep in mind when planning ahead. Overall cute experience for being local.

I recently went to a birthday party in January on one of the coldest days of the year. I honestly didn't get to enjoy it because the party room was unbearably freezing. They had the unit that blew out a b out of warm air but not enough to make the room warm. All of the guests had to be wear their jackets the whole time. We told the workers several times that it was freezing but nothing was ever fixed. I would warn parents to be mindful that if you are throwing a party in the winter, you might have a very cold room. I will return in the summer to see how the AC is and if it is comfortable.

It's a very family friendly place and good for the kiddies. Food is available but it's basically carnival eats - pizza, hot dogs, burgers, ice cream, fries, chicken fingers - which is as expected. You come here to enjoy not worry about your diet. Hopefully the new ownership who took it over will have everything up and running this season.

Ahhhhh , what to say about this place .. ??…read more I was really looking forward to my visit , but I must say I was a little disappointed. Parking is a bit ridiculous , takes forever because they make you wait in line until people park and gather their stuff out of the car etc . In order for you to park next to them . = VERY BAD PARKING SYSTEM . Lockers .. they have plenty of lockers but only 2 machines to buy them and the line takes forever . They have private cabanas , but I feel like they are private simply because you have shade , there's nothing so private and special about it , could use some extra care . They should also have a section reserved for ADULTS ONLY , because we were trying to relax in the lazy river and instead got mobbed by screaming children who are afraid of the water and to many people at once . I understand it's a public place , it's summer , however would it be a lot nicer if they could have an adult only part of the park . More appropriate for the people who want to relax . The water slides are awesome .
