Big thrills are coming to Laveen as The Rush Funplex, a high-energy indoor family entertainment center, is set to break ground at the intersection of Loop 202 and Dobbins Road. This action-packed attraction will anchor a brand-new 14-acre development from Scottsdale-based Diversified Partners, with construction expected to begin in late 2025. If all goes according to plan, doors will open in December 2026.
Known for delivering wall-to-wall excitement, The Rush Funplex currently operates six locations across the U.S. and has built a reputation for offering all-ages fun under one roof. Its first Arizona location is already underway in Goodyear, and now, Laveen is next in line.
This new 75,000-square-foot indoor playground will be packed with attractions, bringing everything from go-karts, laser tag, and bumper cars to bowling lanes, mini-golf, and an arcade. Families can look forward to a rock-climbing wall with a foam pit, kiddie cars, party rooms, and a café for when you need to refuel between activities.
And here’s the best part: The Rush Funplex isn’t your typical pay-per-ride operation. Instead, they offer hourly and daily passes that give guests unlimited access to all attractions, making it a go-to spot for birthdays, group events, or a family day out.
“The Rush Funplex is extremely excited about coming to Laveen. We look forward to being part of the explosive growth and activity in this area,” Owner Matt Gertge said.
This expansion is not just about fun – it’s about community. The Laveen location is expected to create over 50 local jobs and will provide a major boost in family-friendly entertainment options for one of Phoenix’s fastest-growing neighborhoods.
“This is exactly the kind of project we envisioned for the 202 and Dobbins corridor; high-quality, community-centered and built for growth,” Walt Brown Jr., founder and CEO of Diversified Partners, said.
As Laveen continues to grow, The Rush Funplex promises to become a new hub of excitement, laughter, and connection for the entire community. For more information, visit therushfunplex.com.
