UNBOX, the world’s largest bounce park, is not just a paradise of inflatable adventures; it’s a venture combining fun with a heartfelt cause. Located at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick through January 21, FUNBOX is a marvel in family entertainment, where each jump and laugh goes beyond mere enjoyment, supporting vital community initiatives. FUNBOX is centered around the simple concept of fun, including the curation of entertaining experiences for children of varying financial circumstances and family situations. FUNBOX supports initiatives for foster care youth through local community charities and encourages the belief that fun and family bonding is an opportunity that everyone should be able to reach. This year, $1 of all FUNBOX tickets sold during its opening weekend benefited The Foster Alliance (formerly known as Arizona Helping Hands), a nonprofit supporting foster communities throughout Arizona and beyond. “We strive to create affordable and accessible experiences that bring joy and wonder to families from all walks of life,” says founder Antonio Nieves. “FUNBOX brings a new level of fun that all should be able to experience.”
