KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Shawnee Planning Commissioners are set to review a proposal Wednesday night for the Rush FunPlex, an entertainment venue slated for the northwest corner of Shawnee Mission Parkway and Pflumm Road.

The location, which used to be home to Incredible Pizza, would be reimagined as a family-friendly entertainment destination featuring bowling, arcades, bumper cars, rock climbing, go-karts, laser tag, mini golf and a foam pit.

Before operating as Incredible Pizza, the site, which was built in 1987, has been home to other recreational facilities, including Power Play, which operated from 2004 to 2019.

The proposal would be similar to five other venues already in the works, including the Rush Funplex at 309 NE Englewood Road in Kansas City, Missouri. The company also operates four other locations in Utah.

The Shawnee City Council is tentatively slated to make a final consideration of the project at its Jan. 22 meeting.
