In a time when many communities are searching for new ways to bring families together, Funtastic stands out as a beacon of what’s possible when purpose meets play.

Located in the heart of Opelika, AL, this vibrant facility was founded by a group of lifelong locals who saw more than just a business opportunity—they saw a chance to give back. Grounded in shared values of family, kindness, and community, the founders set out to create a space where fun meets meaning.

Designed With Purpose

Every inch of Funtastic has been thoughtfully built to deliver value—from birthday party packages and multi-attraction passes to an inviting atmosphere that keeps guests coming back. It’s clear that the team behind the facility operates with a shared vision: to create something joyful, accessible, and community-centered.

ValoClimb: Innovation That Moves You

One of Funtastic’s standout features is the ValoClimb—an interactive climbing wall from Lothian’s partner company, Valo Motion. This attraction fuses physical activity with digital gameplay, projecting challenges and games onto the wall to create an unforgettable experience for guests of all ages. It’s not just engaging—it’s revolutionary.

ValoClimb exemplifies how cutting-edge technology can enhance movement-based entertainment and support active, social fun in family venues.

Community First

But what truly sets Funtastic apart is the heart behind the operation. The owners—raised in religious families that emphasize kindness and generosity—have stayed true to their roots. Their commitment to creating a safe, welcoming space for all families is reflected in their glowing testimonials and growing base of loyal visitors.

It’s a reminder that in the world of family entertainment, the most impactful experiences are often built on more than just attractions—they’re built on values.
