Houston Funplex

I took my daughters to this place this past Sunday and it really wasn’t worth it. The outside is super dirty and building can’t possibly be up to code. You can tell it was a nice place when it first opened but the current owners don’t care. In the arcade only a few games worked, the skating ring was the best part. They have rides that you can get on but they were outdated and there were no attendants. The place feels like a big ball of germs, touching anything makes you feel dirty. The bowling alley was nice but not it’s in a corner and is easily missed. I didn’t trust the food because the ordering counter was dirty, machines haven’t been cleaned or whipped down. It was a no for me. The staff want friendly, very nonchalant, poor hygiene/super musty and had attitudes. I will say except for the ticket lady at the front and the young men that ran the skating ring. I drive from Katy thinking to try a new place but that drive wasn’t worth it. Save your money because it is expensive and you can’t comfortably enjoy anything!!

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.

Paid for my sons birthday party, booked in the crystal room. Party area was not ready for a half hour after the time we booked. Several of the fun attractions are not working as well which was a bummer. The manager, not sure his name, was more than helpful in getting us accommodated and expediting our wristbands and game cards. It looks a bit run down but we had a great time. Communication seems like it could be better, along with some aesthetic touch ups. There’s an obvious abundance of maintenance work that could be implemented to brighten the place up. Pizza for the party was good, our hostess was pleasant and helpful as well. We had a great time all in all.

I've been regularly coming to the Funplex since the 2000s when I was a child. This place has resonated with me deeply. It has a unique and weird architecture (weird in the best way), with an unmatched ambience and fun activities in each corner. Quite frankly, just walking around is a nice time in itself. I look forward to the Funplex reopening - thank you for so many memories, big liminal playground! I took these pictures with an old camera, but they're from 2024.

If you read my reviews you would know that I am usually positive and tend to try to always be so. But our experience at the funplex was such a disappointment. I truly hope the owners take a good look at these reviews and try to make some changes. The place was overpriced and half of the games didn’t work. The kids went from game to game not able to play any games they wanted. A ticket to fiesta Texas is cheaper and 100x a better value. The 20 signs at the counter that said “no refunds” was the first red flag. The place is run down and the workers are mostly rude and obviously untrained. This place could be something with better management
