Why We Love Funplex, East Hanover

The indoor amusement park has an arcade with several video games and a number of rides and attractions that cater to all ages.

Bumper Cars and Foam Frenzy are perfect fits for younger guests, while the Go Karts, Super Twister, and Free Fall are favorites of thrill seekers.

It doesn’t stop there. The Funplex also features Lazer Runner, a fast paced laser tag game and an XD Theater, which is an exciting virtual reality ride. Both of these attractions are excellent for entertaining preteens.

If you’re looking to add some magic and fantasy to your life, the Funplex is home to MagiQuest—a fun wizard role-playing game. Participants use wands to interact with magical props and fairytale scenery around the amusement park. The various quests throughout the game will keep kids and parents busy for hours at a time.

A new outdoor water park will help anyone beat the summer heat. The Splashplex offers a refreshing water playground, exhilarating water slides, and even a pool to cool off in on a hot day.
