Funplex in East Hanover, New Jersey, has been named as the best remodelled amusement centre at the 2013 Excellence in Family Entertainment Centre Awards.

The event was held during the Amusement Expo, which took place at the Las Vegas Convention Centre, Nevada, on March 20-23.

Funplex was redesigned in 2012 to provide guests with easy-to-use entertainment options, along with additional space for parties and special events.

The result was adding a new water experience, Splashplex, to the existing line-up of indoor and outdoor rides, amusements and attractions, a mezzanine overlooking the cafe area, new seating and two new renovated upstairs party rooms, including a VIP party room able to accommodate up to 60 people for special events.

"Funplex is committed to providing new and exciting experiences to guests each year," said Randall Lahn, spokesman for the Lahn family, which owns and operates of Funplex.

"We will continue to listen to feedback from our guest and revise, update and revamp our centre to suit their needs."
