funbox is definitely a fun place to do some playful shoots whether you plan to publish professionally or as a friend. I really didnt know what to expect even though ive seen a lot of videos of it on facebook and instagram, i thought there was no better way than to check it out myself - and i did. Its affordable and super friendly for families and friends to get together and put together a nice photo album or video.

I came in and shot with a Canon DSLR. The lighting in some areas are different from another, and there are some places that were lit by LEDs and other from fluorescent bulbs, so the color temperature changes a bit. If youre shooting on a phone, it should adjust nicely. Some spots are a little brighter than others, and some casts harsh shadows, but if youre not too keen on those, you should be fine. I shot maybe between 3200 and 6400 ISO with F-stop of 4 and shutter speed of 30 for video.

There are over 20 different rooms or exhibits to shoot with - my favorite was the mirror room and the small flower background wall with the flower curtains - i was able to do a lot with those.

Funbox is located where the Dave and Busters is - if you know where that or the theater is, youre in good shape. The parking area closest to it is the one that is through the 2nd floor of the structure in the back that goes outside. otherwise, anywhere in the back parking structure should be close to it - you might be exiting through the elevators and have to walk through a Johnny Rockets, but its still a lot closer than parking at the Golds Gym or the Promenade deck which is nearly on the opposite side of the mall.

Please note: although the exhibits here are interactive and there are a lot of childen, i strongly suggest not to leave your children unattended - it is a playful environment, but its not a playground. Other than that - have fun taking what could possibly be the most memorable pictures for your whole family.

PS: they have a parking lot for strollers.
