Billing itself as the "world's biggest bounce park," FUNBOX has "continuous jumping zones" connecting its 10 different play areas that are geared toward people of all ages. Attractions include an obstacle course and a 23-foot slide.
The park offers "tons of photo ops," according to the company's website. And, you never know who might show up — Philly native comedian Kevin Hart was spotted at a FUNBOX pop-up in 2022. Also at each stop, the company supports a local foster care agency, an initiative inspired by the FUNBOX founder's upbringing in the foster system.
During the first two weekends of its stay in South Jersey — Aug. 30 through Sept. 1, and Sept. 6-8 — tickets will be available at a discounted price of $19 when purchased online. After that, general admission, which covers about 90 minutes of play, will start at $28. Children 2 years old and younger are free, and all kids younger than 13 must be accompanied by an adult.
FUNBOX is open Fridays from 3-7:30 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. The pop-up will also be open on Labor Day (Monday, Sept. 2) from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
