Insider tips
- To maximize value, plan to engage with both the mini-golf and the free arcade games/mummy shooting gallery, as this can extend your visit to 2-3 hours and enhance the experience.
- If your children are likely to want to re-play the golf course, inquire about re-round pricing or any multi-play deals upfront, as individual re-rounds can be costly.
- Consider this venue for birthday parties or family gatherings, especially if your group enjoys Halloween themes and classic arcade games.
- Look for Groupons or other discount offers, as they are accepted and can improve the overall value proposition.
Good to know before you go
- If your sole focus is a long and highly challenging mini-golf course and you are on a strict budget, as the golf alone might feel short and overpriced for its duration.
- Very young children (e.g., toddlers) who might be easily frightened by 'scares,' animatronics, or the overall horror theme, although the reviews generally suggest a family-friendly rather than terrifying experience.
- The mini-golf course itself can be perceived as expensive for the duration of play if guests only focus on the golf, with one reviewer completing it quickly and finding it not very challenging.
- Re-playing the mini-golf course incurs an additional cost (e.g., $20 per person was quoted for a re-round), which can quickly add up if children wish to play again.
- Minor aesthetic suggestion: the arcade room's yellow paint is noted as contradicting the horror theme, with suggestions for a deeper red or purple to enhance thematic consistency.
- Crowds
- The venue can be very quiet during certain times, with one reviewer noting they were the 'only ones in the whole place.' Reviews do not consistently suggest it becomes excessively crowded, implying it might offer a more relaxed experience during off-peak hours.
- Value
- The mini-golf component is considered 'very expensive' by some ($20 for a re-round was mentioned for one person). However, the inclusion of free-to-play classic arcade games and a mummy shooting gallery significantly enhances the overall value, allowing families to spend up to 3 hours engaging in various activities for the initial admission price. Groupons are accepted and provide good value.
- Accessibility
- No specific accommodations for special needs or accessibility features were mentioned in the reviews.
- Safety
- No specific safety features (e.g., staff monitoring, wristbands, first aid station) were mentioned in the reviews.
What parents say
"This facility used to be in Concord California. I saw it when I was visiting Fresno and I couldn’t believe it was the same place. The inside is very cool and the decorations are really nice. However, it’s very expensive for what it is. I was in there with my son and we were the only ones in the whole place and he finished the course pretty quickly. I asked the cashier if we could do it again and she told us that it would be another $20 for us to go back around. That was pretty much it for me. Looks cool, but not really challenging. And a bit overpriced. I guess down in Fresno the owner gets a "
