The Funplex

Where the Fun Lives

The Funplex sits in Mt Laurel Township, New Jersey, along NJ-38, roughly midway between Philadelphia and the Jersey Shore. It is a family-owned amusement park company with a second location in East Hanover, and the Mount Laurel site is the larger of the two. The park spreads across 25 acres and blends a year-round indoor complex with an outdoor midway and the Splashplex waterpark, so there is something to do in every season. Because it is a full amusement destination rather than a single-purpose arena, visitors typically arrive for a full day rather than a single game. The indoor portion alone covers more than 100,000 square feet, which means even on a rainy afternoon there is plenty of ground to cover.

FunTron: Laser Tag With a Next-Gen Twist

The centerpiece for anyone seeking a tactical challenge is FunTron, a recently revamped laser tag arena. The space was rebuilt with a focus on customization, letting players shape their own experience through more than six distinct game formats and fifteen different power-up modes. That means a group can switch between classic team battles and more strategic, objective-driven rounds without ever leaving the arena. The arena is recommended for guests aged seven and up, with no minimum height requirement, making it accessible to younger players as well as adults. The immersive, high-tech setting is designed to feel like stepping into another world, and the flexible game modes keep repeat visits fresh. For groups that want a more competitive edge, the arena is also a popular anchor for birthday parties and corporate team-building sessions.

More Than a Battlefield

Beyond laser tag, the indoor complex is packed with attractions that round out any visit. There is a state-of-the-art arcade with a boardwalk feel, a 16-lane bowling alley, electric go-karts, bumper cars, and the XD Dark Ride, a 4D interactive motion simulator. Kids can burn off energy in Foam Frenzy, a two-story foam-ball play zone with air cannons, while the indoor rides keep the momentum going all year. Outdoors, the park adds a spinning-mouse roller coaster, Tilt-A-Whirl, bumper boats, mini golf, and the Splashplex waterpark with slides and poolside cabanas during warmer months. In short, laser tag is just one stop on a much larger itinerary, which makes the venue a strong fit for families who want variety in a single trip.

Built for Celebrations and Groups

The Funplex specializes in birthday parties and group events, and it shows in the range of dedicated spaces. Private rooms include the Laser Lounge, a VIP Bowling Suite with four private lanes, and larger party rooms upstairs, plus an outdoor Picnic Pavilion that can host 250 or more guests. Newer party packages combine exclusive go-kart races on a fresh fleet with action-packed laser tag battles in the immersive arena. Corporate planners can arrange full or partial park buyouts, private meeting spaces with AV, catering, and team-building add-ons like laser tag battles, go-kart racing, and bowling tournaments. Schools, camps, and church groups also use the park for end-of-year trips and overnight events. Whether it is a child’s birthday, a school outing, or a company offsite, the venue is set up to ha

ndle groups of nearly any size.

Service, Dining, and Places to Unwind

A dedicated events team coordinates group bookings, and party hosts stay with groups during celebrations to keep things running smoothly. The park’s staff are a regular point of praise for keeping the energy high, though some guest reviews note that service can vary on the busiest summer weekends. Still, the emphasis on hosted parties and coordinated events means most organized visits run smoothly. When it is time to refuel, there are multiple on-site outlets including PitStop Cafe, Boardwalk Cafe, and Sharkey’s Cafe, along with the Level Up Lounge and a bar for adult evenings. For those who want to extend the stay, a dual-branded Wyndham hotel (La Quinta and Hawthorn Suites) sits on the property, offering stay-and-play packages that bundle a hotel night with park admission. Between the dining spots, lounge areas, and on-site hotel, it is easy to turn a day trip into a comfortable weekend getaway.
