About
FUNBOX Charlotte at Carolina Place is an indoor amusement park concept tucked inside Carolina Place Mall in Pineville, offering families in south Charlotte an accessible, enclosed play destination without the scale or price tag of a major entertainment complex.
For parents with kids in the 2–10 range, the appeal is straightforward: everything here is calibrated to children, the environment is colorful and engaging, and there's enough variety to fill a 1. 5–2. 5 hour visit without the chaos and noise that larger venues can bring.
Younger kids in particular respond well to the contained, manageable environment where they don't need an adult to navigate or supervise every moment.
Being inside Carolina Place Mall is a practical convenience. Parking is free in the mall lot, you can grab food court options before or after, and rainy or hot days become productive rather than frustrating. For families who might be making a mall trip anyway, FUNBOX provides a natural anchor activity that gives kids something to look forward to.
Because it's a newer, smaller venue, a few notes on logistics: verify current hours before visiting (Mondays are closed), check pricing directly as it may change, and confirm current operating status. Reviews skew positive from south Charlotte families who appreciate having a quality indoor option that isn't a 30-minute drive away.
FUNBOX fills a specific niche — it's not trying to be EpicCentral or Frankie's. It's a thoughtfully sized, parent-friendly indoor play space that gets in, delivers fun, and gets out without a full-day commitment or a triple-digit price tag. For weekday afternoons during school breaks or rainy Saturday mornings, it consistently delivers.
