Funtopia

Came here today with my 19 month old. We stayed for about 3 hours and she was entertained the entire time. She played in the toddler area which has 4 different slides and obstacles for little ones. Only thing is I think they should have the toddler section gated off. We played games and won tickets as well and they also have little boat and bike rides for smaller ones. The kids meal was $ 4.50 and came with a choice of pizza, hotdog, or nuggets, a drink and popcorn. For a $ 1 more you can get fries. Pizza wasn’t bad. They have a decent array of snacks and small bite. The restroom was decent but since it was a weekday it wasnt too crowded, so that may play a part. The free return ticket is a nice perk. Overall a great value for a day of fun. We will definitely be back!

Go before it gets too crowded. Tool my three year old there for a fun Friday afternoon and he loved it. The mall is quite awful but the funstation is fun. Few broken machines, big kids on the little kids sections not cool for me but my boy didn’t mind. Bring cash for the actual games. Limit for cards 7 $. Better duri g the week before 5 PM.

I just had a party there and I can honestly say it is fun but has some issues my husband and I paid 500 dollars for 2 hours we kinda felt like we were rushed. The lazor tag was awesome. It’s just way to small they really need to expand. i played a game it said it was giving me 110 tickets and when I went to get a ticket the other machine said I only had 109. I mean I would go there because my son enjoyed it but the weekend is bad to go there or even have a party so packed. Would never do a party there again. They made my party wait to play a game and I had to cut my cake before we played and then was told it’s better to cut the cake before the game so I don’t rush my cake yet they made me wait pass my time my party was from 2 to 350 wasn’t even a full 2 hours parties there and not worth it I will be doing sky zone or astoria complex they are much more bigger and they give you moreee time for what you are paying for.

Over crowded bathrooms unsanitary to the point of wanting to talk to management. Floor inn the bathroom were dirty and stalls for dirty and one of the stalls not flushed. Maybe it’s because it’s late afternoon :(

Was here yesterday afternoon with my kid cousins. I am never coming to this poor excuse of an arcade ever again. Lazy workers in the front/​entrance and super sticky tables for the dining area. Why don’t they stop slacking and help out the rest of the staff. If they can lean, they can sure clean. I can only imagine what the kitchen area looks like. The worker at the prize area was helpful, Frankie, I believe. However, the prizes are in such cheap quality. Plush toys were hard as a rock and the prizes look like they’re from the 99 cent store downstairs. What do you expect when this «arcade» is located in the metro mall but it’s not even a mall. Managers need to take more pride in their work and learn how to run the business because they lost a customer.

Funtopia is a total scam. I had my son’s birthday there this weekend. For over $ 400 I only got the room for 90 mins and 50 coins for the bday boy and only ONE PIZZA! They were even stingy with the juice. Everything else was an add on… What a rip off! I was told I should have brought my own games to play with the kids! This is funtopia aren’t they supposed to have the games??? what am I paying for? This place is a depressing looking arcade in an even more depressing mall that does not offer any type of entertainment but only an empty room. Instead just bring your kids to the arcade and skip the party. There is absolutely no point in spending your money on that.

I wish they had updated games. We go here often since we live in the area. The place is huge, so I can understand how messy it gets. The guests don’t clean after themselves. But I always see staff clean up every few minutes. I like the fact that they don’t charge adults, just the kids.
I had my son’s 3 year party here around 2012. It was fun, and much more affordable than Chucky Cheese (CC quoted me at $ 900 vs. $ 500 with funtopia). The laser tag was the best. I feel like my son was too young for all this, I shouldve waited until he was 5 – 7. I think the infant/​toddler area needs more updated. It would be nice to have a little bouncy section.
I notice they have face painting & balloons now for $ 5-​$ 8, and you can add this to your party.

First Note: Record ALL phone calls with them for price quotes or ask for a printed invoice or cost estimate.
Second Note: After 8 (eight!) phone calls with the same price quote, we were charged a different price on the actual day of the party.
Third Note: While in the midst of settling the bill, they held all 30 kids in limbo/​hostage (no playing at all) until the bill was settled.
Is this what you want to deal with? Ask your wife, ask your husband what they think of this review.

this place is a great place for a parent to take the kids to play for the day they have laser tag and different arcade games along with a jungle gym for the kids to run around and play to burn off their energy be ware they charge iadmission and most of the games cost 4 tokens
it can cost you a small fortune here for a few hours

I spent the afternoon & early into the evening @ Funtopia with three special little girls (a set of 6 year old twins with very different personalities and a very vibrant upbeat and outgoing 8 year old that only after coming here would I found out just how very different each of these girls were and how a day at Funtopia means something very different to each of them and ultimately my peace of mind and yours too if you read this review thoroughly and get your dollars stacked up and ready to spend accordingly.
$ 9.99 per child good for the remainder of the month and includes access to the Jungle Gym only, anything & everything else will cost you additional cash.
Game Room Area — The money you spend here is dependent on how many kids your covering for, popularity of the game and from what I’ve noticed these games require 4 Tokens and lasts about a minute or two and no more and all the games are designed to last no more than a minute or two, so tokens go fast and the more little ones you have the quicker the tokens are going to go.
Token Prices — Please see below
$ 5 — gets you 20 Tokens
$ 10 — gets you 40 Tokens
$ 20 — get you 88 tokens
My advice is if the children are under 8 help them find the most fun and easier games to play for the most bang out of your buck, fun and stress free time for them otherwise your going to hear a lot of crying.
Duck Splash, Hammer head & Candy Crush are great games for little ones and gives tons of tickets so they can get the coveted kids prize’s that’s crappy and you could do better and just buy them some prizes out of the 99 cents store and hand it to them at the end, but try telling a 6 year old that, they all want to go up to the collect your prize kiddies counter and make their selection and know that you will need to spend a lot of $ 20 dollar bills in here to get something half way decent that the 99 cents store is selling for $ 4 to $ 5 bucks but again this is all in the name of fun for the little ones.
Laser Runner Tag & Ball Room is at an additional cost of $ 7 per child, per Game Room and again is not inclusive of the initial $ 9.99 fee.
The Jungle Gym area is where the problem came in for me so listen up parents, uncles, aunts siblings & friends, do yourself a favor and prepare your little ones for the Jungle Gym in advance by explaining to them its just like a maze and show them how they went in is how they will need to come out. I had an 8 year old that started out with the first 5 minutes of crawling through the Jungle Gym having fun and then a piercing scream of terror came bellowing out of no where almost made me pee my pants. The attendant that was on duty was the first to react and run up into the tubes to help my little 8 year out who was frightened that she was stuck and would never be able to find her way back out. The 6 year old twins however were fine and loved it. But I never expected that so be wise and advise.
Keep in Mind our play-​date at Funtopia was on a Saturday and we arrived about 2 PM and left at about 6 pm, the crowd of parents and children starts coming in late in the afternoon and only gets more crowded as evening approaches and by this time it was no longer smelling nearly as fresh with the playing around room in the Jungle Gym becoming jam packed, the game room area started forming waiting lines for a lot of the games and the overall space of the entire Funtopia was bordering overcrowded & overrun so it was time for us to make our exit.
The take away here — because I know this is a long review and see below.
* Keep in mind coming here is no fun being just a child of one so bring some play-​mates /​play-​dates to make the moments here count. *
* Eat and drink before you come or pack a snack pack in your bag — prices for food here are high and not much is on offer *
* Come early for fresh clean air, playing room space and comfort.*
* Bring plenty of cash for the Game Room Tokens Machine, Laser Runner Tag & Ball Room *

Booked and reserved my daughters 3^rd birthday party here. Most of the staff here was rude and could care less about their jobs. (our host, Jason was the only good thing about this place) If you are going to spend money on your child’s birthday party, do it elsewhere as the staff here could care less about you or your guests. And their policies don’t make any sense.
Firstly, we booked a party to start at 11:30AM, we know that the place says, people are not permitted into the party room until the scheduled time, thats fine, but why not let them in to the area where the games are? Our guests are more than willing to spend money here, but you had them standing outside like its some exclusive club. the staff wouldn’t even let one of my guests use the bathroom. We spent over $ 1K here to book this party, with food and you can’t let my guest use the bathroom?
OK, I get it, guests are not allowed to enter the party room before the scheduled time, but we as the party organizers and ultimately the party payer came a little early to set up a custom cake we had made and put out gift bags, but no, again the rude staff was like «our policy is that everyone has to wait outside until the party starts». I replied, «I understand that, but can i set up the cake and put out the gift bags?“The staff member replied «No, you can do it when we let everyone in and they are in the disco area.» I don’t know about you, but i didn’t want to waste the precious 90 minutes we had at the party to use it for setting up the cake. Every place I have been to before allows people to come up early to set up. Not this place. We literally all stood outside for 30 minutes with most of all our guests. This place really just lost out on revenue as we could have been spending money inside the other area.
This place should really re-​evaluate its party policies and it’s hiring of staff. I don’t see a valid reason to make guests attending a party wait outside, it only causes a loss of revenue when they can easily have people congregate in the common area, as most all would probably buy tokens while waiting to be let in. The staff should go through some sort of training as this is a children’s play facility, their bad attitudes should not be in a place where children and families come to celebrate birthdays and other joyous occasions. Come on, not letting someone in to go to the bathroom? We are spending $ 1K with you, would it hurt to extend courtesy to our guests?
Oh the food? Overpriced and horrible, pizza was disgusting and they charge you for EVERYTHING! Soda? $ 7 bucks a pop. Hey, I get it, you need to make money, but we ordered over $ 150 in food (in addition to the food provided for the kids), you can’t include 2 pitchers of soda with that? I mean the friggin chinese restaurant gives you 2 sodas or an egg roll if you spend over 20 bucks… Not a good policy there Funtopia.
I would NOT recommend this place to anyone and none of my guests will ever return. This place doesn’t deserve your money! Take it somewhere where you patronage is valued as long as it in NOT Funtopia. Thanks for nothing Funtopia…

Pros: not as full as chuckie cheese on a weekend
The foam cannon game is pretty cool
Cons: horrible staff, nasty bathrooms, and the arcade games are beyond just the regular rip off. Not only that but all the «big» prizes are from the 99cent store, and the only common prizes are things you can buy in bulk for a dollar such as balls and candy.
Also beware on staying until closing time. They will treat you like the biggest bother and just get rid of you at all cost. All the employees there make sure they arr out of work by 10pm at the dot. Customer satisfaction is least of their cocern.

This is a hidden gem. It’s very low cost to get in, and the prices to play the games are just great. My nephews love this place and I take them there every chance I get.

This place is packed, over priced and expensive also the bumper cars are old and slow.

Came here yesterday for my sons 3^rd birthday and it wasn’t bad, the food was a little expensive so I didn’t eat here but they had many fun games for him to play. I was disappointed that he wasn’t able to get on the bumper cars but other than that it was ok.

As a babysitter in the area, I come here frequently with two younger boys. Simply put, they love it. The place is clean (beware of the absurd Unilocal reviews that say otherwise), affordable, and kid friendly. Recently, I’ve noticed some changes in the scenery and the management that warrant my 5 star review.
This is not your average arcade. You will not find a dusty robotic mouse singing creepy jingles. Instead, you will find laser tag, bumper cars, and a seemingly endless supply of engaging games. Funtopia is –dare I say it… FUN

So I’ve been here three times so far. It’s great during the week because it’s usually pretty slow. I have a three and a half year old with me so she’s getting to the point where she wants to play with other kids. I’ll try a weekend at some point. She’s not old enough yet but they have bumper cars and laser tag there too.

This is an old standard for the Ridgewood/​Maspeth community
They are in the back of metro mall by metropolitan ave behind kmart, and the first time I was just surprised with their affordable prices, you don’t spend much, so don’t expect to have a luxurious time, you just going there for fun, they have Bumper cars and the old fashion arcade games, is good for family mix time, not for adult day out, overall good for a couple hours

I come here frequently and I have to say it is way better than any Chuck E Cheese I have ever been to (I’ve been to 4 c.c. bklyn, Harlem, nj, Staten Island)
Staff responds quickly and are posted in each section
Bathrooms are clean
You will never step foot into another ghetto Chuck e Cheese after coming here.
As far as «pee puddles»?? Far from my experience and seems fabricated?
*quick tips*
Food sucks, but it’s not a restaurant
Stash snacks n you’ll be fine
Socks needed for indoor play /​but they have vending machines that sell a pair $ 2
Keep ur kids footwear with u at ur seat or table

I came here for a birthday party and the whole place smelled like a pet store. Sweat, crumbs and sporadic pee puddles.
The staff here doesn’t look like they even are happy here, the room in which the party was in was gross, and I would never let child of mine come here, no matter how busy I am.
The chairs were sticky as well as the tables, all the controllers and joysticks for the arcade area had food stuck on them and just nasty stuff on them.
When it came to the prize area to redeem your tickets, they were out of almost all the prizes. It was awful. I would not recommended anyone to come here and give your hard earned money here.
