Mount Laurel, NJ — October 24, 2025 — Lahn Hospitality and Amusement Group, owners and operators of The Funplex Amusement Parks, continued to earn national recognition with their recent win of the Standout Family Entertainment Center award at September’s Golden Ticket Awards, an achievement that marked not one, but two significant milestones in a single memorable evening.

On Tuesday, October 21st, The Funplex proudly hosted the IAAPA North America Meetup, welcoming amusement and attractions industry professionals from across the region for an evening of connection, collaboration, and inspiration. Attendees enjoyed an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at The Funplex’s signature attractions and event spaces, including its glow-in-the-dark birthday party setup, VIP bowling suite, and on-site Wyndham hotel.

The event also featured a keynote presentation from Brian Williams, CEO of The Funplex, who shared insights into the company’s history, core values, and forward-looking vision for growth and innovation within the family entertainment industry.

Adding to the excitement, The Funplex team was recognized by the World Waterpark Association (WWA) with a Marketing Award for its standout Direct Mailer Campaign. This creative initiative exemplified The Funplex’s commitment to delivering engaging, high-impact marketing that connects with guests in meaningful ways. This marks another proud moment in The Funplex’s ongoing success with the WWA, having previously been honored for both Social Media Campaign and Email Campaign categories. Together, these achievements highlight the organization’s consistent excellence in marketing and its dedication to enhancing guest engagement year after year.

“To host our peers in the industry and celebrate a national marketing award on the same night is truly special,” said Brian Williams, CEO of The Funplex. “This recognition reflects our team’s creativity, dedication, and passion for delivering unforgettable experiences to our guests.”

In addition to the award celebration, Lahn Hospitality and Amusement Group further demonstrated its commitment to growth and innovation during the IAAPA networking event, where the company announced a major expansion to The Funplex Waterpark. The highly anticipated addition—set to open in 2027—underscores the company’s ongoing investment in enhancing guest experiences and solidifying The Funplex as a premier family entertainment destination.

“Growth is at the heart of everything we do,” Williams added. “We’re not only expanding our attractions but also creating new opportunities for our teams and our communities as we continue to elevate The Funplex brand nationwide.”
