Hi Johannit, I'm very, very sorry what you experienced - there's no excuse for this whatsoever. Let me say without qualification that what you experienced is absolutely inappropriate, unprofessional and simply not what Funderdome is all about. I'm embarrassed and humiliated by how one of our employees (now ex-employee) treated you. I hope you'll consider the other reviews on Trip... More

We went to visit while staying a the W for the air and sea show. Funderdome was amazing - at last, an indoor playground for BIG KIDS! My six and eight year old sons had to be dragged out after four hours! The food was great and reasonably priced, and the wifi was convenient. My kids LOVED the SkyTrail which... More

Smart parents always try to show up to places like this the minute it opens since we know how incredibly crowded it can get. HOWEVER, upon showing up promptly at 9am this morning, the... More

I have a 6 year old and 2 yr old boys. They both loved this place! They liked shooting soft balls thru the cannons and climbing and sliding down. There was other stuff such as rock climbing that we will do as they get older, but as for now, they did not want to leave! Food prices were very reasonable,... More
