Adults Night Out! My BF 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.

I've come here twice now. Once as a chaperone on a school trip and once with my own family. It really is a fun way to spend the morning and part of the afternoon. I brought my two kids here - different age groups - and they were both entertained for hours. The waterpark which is best enjoyed at the beginning of business hours was the best part of the place to my family. On the day of our visit, it was a hot, summer day and getting in the pool before it became crowded was everything to us. After spending several hours in the waterpark, we went inside and played the various games and attractions. I will say, the go karts were faster than I thought and as a nondriver, was scary. Bowling was a blast. My kids still ask to go back and we are planning to return again in the summer. All in all, we spent about $300 after everything was said and done but it was money well spent. You pay for the experience and the memories.

Huge place , and extremely expensive , $25 per hour per person for bowling . They charged us $18.75 for 2 beers , and the place is not even that organized . $47 to get in .. nothing that special for all this money . There's certainly better places at more reasonable prices .

Bowling!

I hosted a project graduation here in 2018 and it was amazing then and even better now. First I saw the bathrooms and game areas cleaned several times during my visit. The bowling is not regulation but fun and the balls and lanes are not covered in grease. The game area is fun too! Go karts are regulated to ensure no bumping and that everyone has a safe environment. The water rides are immaculate and the entire facility is well staffed. Food is reasonably priced for an amusement park, I would gladly give my business to this place over dirty six flags or mountain creek.

See all

Are the accepting reservations and ticket purchases for April? All dates are blocked out from April 10th and beyond. May and June is closed too. What's going on?

Hello, So sorry about that we will have the rest of the spring open on the webstore today. However Summer pricing has not been released just yet so when they does get released we will open up all the summer months. Again sorry for the confusion.

Are water shoes required?

No they are not required in the waterpark area.

Are you forced to wear swim suits to go into any of the rides in the water park?

Hello, Yes you will need to have a bathing suit on to go on the waterslides.

Is this a great environment for 11-12 year old boys? Also is there free parking or paid parking? Thanks all!

Great environment and free parking!

Is it good for my 2-year-old son? Can I accompany him in GoKarting?

There is height requirement for the rides.. i did not do the go karts as i seen the way out.. my son ia 3 years he ride the bump cars with me..... however, i was holding the safety bar so it would not bump into him. it was fun for my son..

Has anyone been to the splash plex behind the fun plex? Looking for recommendations?

Yes. I visited in August. It was a great time and ideal for ages 4- 12. The lines were short and I loved the water slides, pool areas and tipping bucket.

He was very communicative--even with the 13 hour time difference, I was able to coordinate with him easily. I had my husband be taken out of the house three hours before the party to set up... the balloon arch was delivered right on time. The photographer showed up half an hour earlier than the party. The magician I wanted to hire was booked somewhere else and I only found out a few days before, but the balloon sculpture artist Mark recommended instead was an absolute hit with the kids as well as the adults, which was a pleasant surprise. He made my husband the most outrageous birthday hat. Right when he was supposed to be done, one of the kids tripped and popped his balloons and got upset, and he stayed longer to make him (and a few other stragglers) more balloons. Truly kind. The photographer David was also really so helpful, friendly, and on it! He came early and helped with some of the set up... he was attentive and also very nice to talk to. Very natural (sometimes it's awkward when a photographer's in your face taking pictures but it wasn't awkward at all). We got a USB full of pictures right after the party! Really, what a great experience. My husband had a really great time. Thank you Mark and company!

Wanting to do something fun and interactive for our clients holiday party, I was looking for a…read morecooking class near their offices in NJ. Through a search and reviews, I came upon What's Cooking. I had a very good conversation with the owner, who assured me that the experience was "appropriate" for a corporate group and a holiday event. The cost was high, but I chalked that up to the interactive nature of the event. I was told this would indeed be an interactive experience and while we wouldn't necessarily cook the entire meal ourselves, we would certainly be cooking and interacting with the chef. I was shocked, disappointed, and embarrassed with the experience. First, we walked into what looked like a kids birthday venue, with a giant sign that read "Happy Birthday Layla" (this was a white board, so at the very least it could have been cleaned off, if not had our event name on it). There were picnic tables and plastic table cloths. No cooking stations. We were seated at the picnic tables, and at our place setting was a plastic bowl with two mushrooms in it. This was the extent of our "interactive cooking experience". We did not cook -- we chopped two mushrooms and later, a banana. Literally. The chef cooked in front of us on a burner and showed us how she made the items. We sat at picnic tables and were served on paper and plastic. The food itself was fine (Chicken Marsala, sauteed spinach, salad (bagged?), avocado with bacon and blue cheese with chips, banana foster) and the staff was lovely to deal with -- courteous, polite, informative. But this was a FAIL from my POV and only worth one star (generously) bc the experience I was sold and promised did not match with what we received.

We came here while visiting family in New Jersey hoping for a fun day that everyone could enjoy…read more Unfortunately, this location ended up being pretty disappointing. The positives first. There is plenty of parking, which made arriving easy. The facility itself was clean, and some of the staff members we interacted with were friendly. We also grabbed ICEEs, and those were definitely one of the highlights of the visit. Now for the downsides. Right from the start, the front desk staff did not seem very knowledgeable about the height and weight requirements for several attractions. That made it difficult to know what everyone in our group could actually do before purchasing tickets. Compared to other Urban Air locations around the tri state area, this one also felt much smaller with fewer attractions than I expected. We ordered fries from the café, and they were honestly some of the worst fries we've ever had. They tasted old, stale, and like they had been sitting for quite a while. The biggest frustration came when we tried to ride the bumper cars. One of the employees told us they were shutting everything down even though the park did not officially close for another hour. I completely understand wanting to wrap things up on a holiday weekend, but closing attractions that early after guests paid full admission was disappointing. We spent about $98 for two tickets, and unfortunately the overall experience did not match the price. Between the lack of information from the staff, the food, the smaller facility, and attractions closing well before the advertised closing time, it just did not feel like a good value. Hopefully this location improves over time, but based on this visit, I do not see myself returning.

It took all a 45mins for 2 boxes of pizza to be ready. There was barely anyone in the facility. Aside from that this place is hugeeeee. Very clean and the kids had loads of fun. I would recommend this spot for the kids or for a birthday party but you really need to work on your staff because I keep wondering what would happen if we came in on a busy day. The kids would love it. Just work on the restaurant part please.
