About Each Park
Funplex Mount Laurel
New Jersey
Funplex Mount Laurel combines the best of indoor water fun with classic arcade entertainment under one massive roof. The water park section features multiple body slides, tube slides, and a solid kids' area with smaller slides and water features that work perfectly for families with younger children. The highlight is their large indoor wave pool, which creates decent waves every 15 minutes and gives you that beach feeling even in the dead of winter. The lazy river winds around the main pool area and moves at a nice, relaxing pace. What sets Funplex apart is that it's not just about water. When you're ready for a break from swimming, you can hit their huge arcade with everything from classic games to newer VR experiences, plus they have laser tag and an indoor ropes course. The go-kart track is surprisingly good for an indoor facility. Since everything's indoors, this place works year-round, which makes it a solid option for birthday parties and rainy day entertainment. The facility can get crowded on weekends and school holidays, so arriving right when they open gives you the best shot at shorter lines. The food court has the usual suspects but portions are decent and prices aren't completely outrageous for an entertainment venue. Parking is free, which is always nice.

New Jersey
Big Kahuna's Water Park brings year-round aquatic fun to South Jersey with its indoor water wonderland. The park focuses on creating a tropical atmosphere inside, complete with palm trees and island-themed decorations that transport you from New Jersey's winters to a perpetual summer vacation. The main draw is their multi-level play structure that dominates the center of the facility, featuring smaller slides perfect for younger kids and a massive tipping bucket that dumps hundreds of gallons of water every few minutes. You'll hear the anticipation building as kids gather underneath, waiting for that telltale creaking sound before the deluge. The lazy river winds around the perimeter, providing a relaxing float for adults while parents keep an eye on their kids splashing nearby. Their wave pool generates decent-sized waves every 15 minutes or so, though don't expect ocean-level intensity. The hot tub area is a blessing for parents who need a break from the chaos, positioned strategically so you can still supervise the action. Big Kahuna's really shines for families with kids under 12. The indoor setting means you don't have to worry about sunscreen applications every hour or weather cancellations, making it ideal for birthday parties and group outings during the colder months. The splash pad area keeps toddlers entertained with smaller fountains and gentle water features they can navigate safely. Food options stick to the basics with pizza, nachos, and soft drinks, though you can bring your own snacks if you want to save money. Arrive right when they…
