Funtopia

“My friends and I brought our 5 children ages 6-12 to Funtopia. We spent $30/child for the all day pass. As this was our first time, I wasn't sure if $25/1.5 hours would be enough time to enjoy the facility so we paid the extra $5. This is mostly a bunch of climbing walls: a whole line of them on one entire wall. Luckily, they also have a ropes course to walk through (above) which is in 1 big square (shorter/younger kids can get off half-way through if they are under 54'', the 2nd half of the ropes course is much more difficult, I would recommend for over age 8 or 9). The ropes course is pretty scary, some of the kids told me so just keep this in mind, especially the 2nd half. They also have the Ninja obstacle course in the middle of the place and a giant metal slide that kids grab the bar and it pulls them up (they wear a huge body suit thing). Since this is so much upper body/using your hands to grip, the kids hands begin to hurt after a while. They also get really hot, so I would recommend lighter clothing (short-sleeve t-shirt and good gym shoes). They do have a water fountain available. In hindsight, I think 1.5 hours maybe would have been enough time as they were getting pretty exhausted when we hit the 2 hour mark (which is when we left). They only open the ropes course and giant slide when it is staffed, so it is not always open. So once they make the announcement to open these areas, I would encourage your kids to try it out if they are interested because it quickly closes again. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty slow (20 kids about). There is a small toddler area with flimsy bounce houses (the shorter kind) for younger kids around age 3. Overall, it was a great adventure. As it was our first time, I'm glad we got the all day pass, but in the future, I think I will go for 1.5 hours as they know what they are doing now. Enjoy!”

“I would have given 5 stars because the kids had a blast at my daughter’s birthday party. So many fun climbs and the ninja course is also great. The veggie pizza was yum too! However, the party helper was no help at all so taking away 1 star for it. The staff seemed to be untrained. We ended up tipping him a lot as a perbut it wasn’t deserved. Didn’t set up the table, didn’t serve the kids, nothing at all. Very slow and clueless. For ultimate party package, I expected a lot of help. We have had parties at other jumping places in the area and the party host /helper takes care of everything without any instructions from us. Something to work on!”

“Fun spot to burn off some energy. Randomly have stopped by a few times midweek…when it is far less crowded and grabbed a Groupon to make it more affordable and for that price it’s not bad at all. Sure certain areas are closed at certain times but while we are usually there they eventually open them up. Not had any issues. A lot of the equipment you can tell has been used pretty good, but just like with anything still should watch your littles at all times. I would try to avoid weekends if possible. Lots of parking. They have dot ice cream that isn’t dippin but still good…so bonus!”

“Very fun. Has so many climbing walls. But dont let your child dp the ninja course. They underinflate the matress and theres holes small children can fall into.”
