We had a blast going to this place. The kids loved it, very affordable, we got the 20$ wristbands that allow all but 3 attractions. Everything is indoors, which was perfect considering that it was 100 plus degrees outside. There was a lot to do there, bowling, skating, arcade games, play areas, Farris wheel, trampoline jump, bumper cars, and more. The lines were very small while we were there. What a great place for all ages. Has a bar in it for adults, they have food there. We will definitely be visiting again.

This is one of the best funplex Ive been to in a while. Indoor with everything you can think of. It even has its own skating ring and you can rent skate shoes of different sizes. The number of arcade games here is limitless. And if youre not a fan of arcade games, you have some other thrills to make your day like the trampoline, high wheel ride, perpendicular ride etc.There is a food hall just in case you run low on energy. There are height restrictions to some of the rides since this is basically for the children.Also, your entrance card gives you basic access to some games. You need to buy a topup card to gain access to all other games. Altogether, it was worth it and the children had a wonderful time.

This place is pretty awesome. The kids had a ball and its pretty decent in price. On some nights its only $10 for all rides..well most....and skating is included! The kids play are is huge with bouncy houses and a great slide into a ball pit. Highly recommended!!!

The staff is helpful and the reason I give 4 stars, it didn’t feel very clean in the bathroom or the bowling area... but honestly it was fun! When I grow up and have kids I’m bringing them here

Went to this place for the very first time and i absolutely loved the variety of things to do there. The bar area had great customer service. The bartender was GREAT!! However the customer service in the games/arcade section was HORRIBLE! there were kids working this particular station that were completely clueless to prices, arcade time and how the arcade packages worked. They were very unprofessional, argumentative and rude. This place definitely has 5 star potential the only issue is the children working up there in the front booth.

#Summer indoor playland. You can purchase the summer plantinum package @ $30 per person (for unlimited rides and arcade games & 2.5 hours of play time). This will be enough time for the whole famiy to have a ball. I went there as a young teen...and its changed so much. It is still under renovation with much more exciting things to come. You get to be directly involved in all the kids activities. All the smiles on the kids faces, but I had to call it quits due to me running out of energy. Yes....because kids never run out of energy. I cant comment for the food because we ate before we arrived. Adults can attend for a date night also. As the adult sports bar and bowling alley are on the opposite side of the kids zone.

My daughter and I have been coming here since we moved here 8 months ago but it wasn’t till tonight that we had the most amazing experience. Alvin (kitchen manager) was super helpful, pleasant and just overall efficient. His employees seem to agree because they get along with and take direction from him very well. Octavia, the cashier, was pleasant as well. I could tell she really enjoyed her job and the change in management. And Dre, at the Fireball, was funny and made sure we had a great time!Would definitely recommend coming to this place for family time!(Management, give these young people raises or merit awards. They deserve it!)

Dre, who runs the Fireball activity, and Alvin who is the manager of the kitchen made this visit worthwhile. Octavia, the cashier was super friendly. They were completely nice, and never acted as if we were taking too long to order food. I’m from out of state, and I will make sure to come back to visit them!

I brought my grandkids here last summer and as soon as they returned this summer it’s the first place they wanted to go. This place is perfect to me and I hope they reopen (covid-19 shutdown as many places) before they leave second week of July.

I decided to check out the old Fame City one night in 2018 to remember my childhood. I came with low expectations, expecting to see something similar to what Celebration Station/Zuma Fun Center had become -- an outdated unclean poorly attended shadow of its former self. Instead, I saw a clean, modern, up-to-date facility with good attendance but not crowded.

We experienced some technical difficulties (had to hit reset several times to get all pins reset, couple times it spit the bowling ball out down the lane rather than returning it to the ball return) but Kelvin went above and beyond to make our experience as good as possible.

Review №36

I’m honestly surprised at how much this place has improved over the years. I remember coming here as a child for my birthday with my family and it was okay, and later on it was pretty barren on most days. But now it’s actually pretty active, especially on weekends, since there’s attractions for adults!

Review №37

It was fun spoken from the perspective of a tourist. We went through spring break so the hours were different and it wasnt busy. Half the games were broken and the restroom is OUTDATED. I liked the concept that everything is located in one building. The prices werent bad if all the games worked.

Review №38

We had so much fun at this place, there’s so many things to do it’s overwhelming. I love that They have a 2 story play area that requires every kid names, ages, parent contact info & time in & out before they enter/exit play area. There’s a big slide w/ ball pit at the bottom & a few different games on bottom & upstairs has several bounce houses, tents/tunnels. There is a huge go kart track, bumper cars, airplane rides for toddlers, full sized Ferris wheel, more arcade games than you can imagine. Roller coaster coming soon. The best part is that EVERYTHING is indoors. This is a really good place for any kid, there’s something for everybody.

This is an awesome place to entertain kids. We were here for about 6 hours because there was so much to do. They do need update there equipment & maybe have snack deals. Food too expensive. Other than that the fun was endless and my family spent a great time together!

Review №44

This could be a cool place, but Ive been a couple times and each time there were some things I didnt like. Its in a sketchy part of town. We went for a party once and one of the other kids werent allowed in the play land because they were taller than the rest, even though she was the same age, the workers refused them. Theres no one watching the door for kids to make sure theyre not leaving alone or with the right people. Theres lots to do there, so thats nice. Bathrooms are not terrible, but not great in cleanliness. Overall, just okay.

Fun Plex was fun. Took the kids and they really enjoyed the skating rink. Make sure to buy a package deal for unlimited rides but be careful some games and attractions use points which really adds up and can get expensive. The food in the took too long to come also.

Wonderful and generous management and staff. They allowed our group of 35 children to come and have a great day. Very gracious and accomodating. The facility is bright and clean. Many options for entertainment for young and old. I was surprised to find a bowling alley, skating ring, very cool pub, banquet rooms, well as all the cool stuff for kids.

Review №55

Visited during the holiday break on a Friday afternoon. There was no crowd which was great. My 16 yr old and 9 yr old loved it. They did bumper cars, roller skating, fireball, trampoline, ferris wheel, funplex drop and go karts. We bought 2- hour passes - $29.99 each which doesnt include video games. The virtual car race wasnt working. They are bringing an indoor roller coaster attraction. The go karts require a height of 58 inches. The measuring ruler is at least an inch from the floor so your kiddo will lose an inch when measuring. If less than 58 inches they have to ride with an 18 yr old. Bummer for my 9 yr old, but no big deal. The trampoline is very secure with safety harnesses, but pretty dull. The ferris wheel is neat, and goes fast! The fireball height is 58 inches too...my 16 yr old loved that one. They have a toddler climbing structure and several event rooms very nicely decorated. They also have an arcade. Seemed there should be more games, but honestly it balances out with the other attractions. I also saw a restaurant, but didnt try it. The only negatives was the loud ghetto rap music in the roller rink. Totally inappropriate and theres so many better options. Also, the place needs a good cleaning. Carpeted areas were pretty filthy. Lots of trash, dust, and debris on stairs and walkways. It looks like they are doing projects so maybe thats the culprit. We live in Spring, so almost an hour drive. Definitely worth it.

I like the place. I wish they would bring back more of the air hockey tables, and figure out the concession area a little better, but it reminds me of the old style arcades. I took my daughter on a Friday night and it was very very family-friendly. I was very impressed.

Review №58

Not enough employees. Didn’t seem to have any management on site. Sticky floors throughout the food court. $6+ for a water bottle and bag of chips. Came on a Sunday and bought the funpass but most of the attractions for older kids were either out of order or they didn’t have enough staff to have them operating. Go carts were really slow. Most good arcade games were also out of order. This place definitely has potential under the correct management.

My daughters 3rd birthday was here and now shes 18. I remember going to Fun Plex after Astroworld closed. My son is 14 and he goes here sometimes too. Needless to say its generations enjoying the fun. From skating, to arcade games, to food and rides hands down its a winner.

Review №65

I was very iffy about the place because of the location. However, my daughter came on a field trip with her daycare and asked for her birthday party to be here. I decided to come check it out in person and while I was there put down the deposit for her birthday party. It was very expensive but I do not regret a penny. My daughter was treated like a princess and had an absolute blast with all of her friends.The party did not go off without a hitch. There were some unruly guests from another party, I must admit that is where all of my reservations came from about the location. At some point the other guest from a different event decided they wanted my daughters booked space. They refused to leave and became very disruptive. The staff quickly adapted, allowed to them to keep my daughters space. Essentially pacifying them to calm them down. They upgraded my daughters party and moved her to the ballroom. They packed up all of Lillians decorations, cake, gifts, and reset up a room just for her. Even though there was an issue, the staff handled it extremely well and with much tact. I will definitely be recommending this place in the future. The staff truly are in a class of Their Own. Thank you for making sure my daughters day was wonderful.

Very limited pricing information online, called the number on the website only to be connected to a call center where they have no clue on whats going on. They dont know if the price on the site is for one game, one hour or unlimited... will not drive 15-20 miles to figure if its worth it... will go to a place that has clear information on what should I expect.

Review №73

The credit system is confusing but the things to do for our 5-year-old are great. We really just hung out in the play area that we really wish we can just get an all-day pass with unlimited entry/exits instead of only getting to enter again if youre back in 30 minutes. That did not give us a lot of time to eat or try other things. Our son especially liked the skating rink with training walkers. Overall some staff are nice but the staff at busier rides/attractions were unfriendly. I think its best to come here during non-peak times as youll get a more personable and friendly service.

As the name entails, its where you go to have fun. Rhey have rides for children. Bowling for the adults. They even have rides for your little toddler which I found to be a wonderful idea so if you have kids crying because they were not tall enough for a particular ride, you could simply get them on the ones that fit their age and height. Problem solved. Awesome! The food was ok. I only had the fries so cant really speak for the others. They had unlimited bowling after 11pm if youre into that. Overall fun place to go.

I havent been here in 10 years. I passed through looking for the adult International Bar and Grille which was a nice chill spot for the grown ups while the kids played next door at Funplex. The place has a large ferris wheel inside, a nice game room and a roller skating rink. I Will be revisiting this place and possibly planning my daughters parties or gatherings there in the future.

Purchased the unlimited video game cards for a family of 5 for my sons 12th birthday. During this time they werent taking card but only taking cash but they couldnt provide change at the time when I try to pay. ..To matters worst most of the arcade games werent working so it wasnt really worth the price, and definitely wasnt worth seeing my son disappointed like so.

Br
Review №95

If I could I would give them negative stars. Where do I start? 1. Be prepared to fill out a form like you are at a doctors appointment to go skating.2. Skates are not sprayed. If you hate germs, prepared to share the sweat from the last person wearing those skates.3. After entering if you cant skate, they will charge you $5 to rent a bar to use.4. The employees are not knowledgable about whether something was an active or ride.5. The employees in the skating area is very unprofessional but they are kids, so I guess you get what you get.6. The bathroom is nasty, nasty.I am still here, once leave I am sure will have more to .
