It looks like the NFL is creating a parking nightmare for those of us who want to attend this show by making the Jets game start at 4:15. The lots will be full.

Looking for a Kid's Fun place in the Cherry Hill Area

Hi. Apparently there is a place in South Jersey with the same concept as The Funplex on Rt. 38, Mt. Laurel. They say all of the attractions are inside. Can you tell me the name and where it might be? Possibly Cherry Hill area.
Thank you.

Hi;
To the best of my knowledge, there are no other indoor kids fun attractions in South Jersey, near the Cherry Hiil area, that are similiar to Funplex.

However, there is Clementon Park in Clemonton, NJ, a major amusement park with roller coasters, thrill rides, and children's rides like Formula 3000, Safari Train, Playport, Flying Elephants, Space Age, Combo Umbrella Ride, Castle Bounce. They also have a water park.For information contact (856) 783-0263, info@clementonpark.com, http://www.clementonpark.com/attractions08.html

What parks in Northern NJ Allow Bouncy Houses?

Frank's Reply:
Hi Adlin,
State, County, and Municipal parks in New Jersey have very tight restrictions on allowing bouncy Houses.

If you are planning to have a kids private party or a family event, you might want to try a private camp ground that can host you event.

Here are some sites that offer alternatives:

Private Camp Grounds or if an indoor venue is acceptable, try a place that will host a kids party

Hi Irene;
Many recreation departments and most public golf facilities know of or offer junior programs that provide instruction and shorter courses geared to children.

The U.S. Kids Golf Foundation has a program to provide kids and their families the opportunity to participate in the game of golf through instruction and competition. Participating golf courses strive to provide:
• Pace of play will never become an issue with families or kids.
• A course within a course provides a simple solution to encourage family play.
• Kids and all beginners will have more fun by shooting low scores—making your course a desirable destination for families to spend time together.

Local Manalapan, NJ area golf clubs participating in this program are:

Eagle Ridge Golf Club
