💡Pro Tips from Reviews
- →Consider visiting for specific events like New Year's Eve, as pricing ($20/kid for unlimited selected games) can offer good value.
- →Be aware that arcade tokens are a separate cost, not included with activity wristbands.
- →Inspect mini-golf equipment (clubs) for cleanliness before use.
- →Avoid playing putt-putt at night due to severe lighting issues.
Things to Consider
- ⚠Putt-putt courses are described as 'old' with 'no updates' and equipment (golf clubs) can be 'sticky' and require cleaning.
- ⚠Half of the lights on the putt-putt course do not work or are broken, especially at night, making it difficult to play.
- ⚠Restrooms in the arcade 'left a lot to be desired' (implying poor cleanliness or condition).
- ⚠Wristbands for kids are priced at $30 ($36 before 5 pm) and are perceived as not worth the cost by some, as they do not include arcade tokens.
- ⚠Arcade tokens are a separate, additional cost on top of wristband fees.
- ⚠No manager was available at night to address complaints or issue refunds regarding issues like broken putt-putt lights.
Price & Value
Pricing is generally perceived as high. Mini-golf requires separate fees for each of the two courses, and an all-day pass is described as 'crazier price'. Kids' wristbands are $30 ($36 before 5 pm) and are considered overpriced by some, particularly because arcade tokens are not included and are an additional expense. However, the New Year's Eve event for $20 per child, offering unlimited selected games, was seen as 'a blast' and good value.

9 months agoMy kids had a really great time here! We came for a family friends birthday party and they all had a blast. There many different things for them to do from an inside arcade and play area to outdoors batting cages, laser tag, bumper boats, paintball, 2 put put courses and 2 go kart areas. They serve food and have a bar for the parents.

9 months agoWent to play mini-golf, they had two courses. Prices are high for what it is and you have to pay to play each course a new set of fees (or you can buy an all day pass for an even crazier price). The course was alright, you could tell it's an old course with no updates. Took my daughter to use the restroom in the arcade and well let's just say it left a lot to be desired. If you got extra I come to spend then give it a shot but there are much better options in the area for family fun and a better price. I can not speak on any other activities here as I did not try them during my visit.

11 months agoThis isn’t the swings n things I remember as a kid. While the staff was very kind, The wristbands for kids were $30 ($36 before 5pm) and it was didn’t seem worth what we paid for. The golf course isn’t that big and the equipment was sticky and needed to be cleaned off after it was given to us. There’s a go cart course which my daughter enjoyed but we only did everything once. The arcade inside has a decent selection of games but you would think for a $30 wristband that that would include arcade tokens. It’s doesn’t that’s a separate price. The thing our kids enjoyed most was the kidz corner. We traveled 45 mins come her for my niece’s birthday and between the long travel and it being overpriced we likely won’t ever be back.

4 months agoWe visited (this time) on New Year’s Eve 2024. Each kid was $20 and they could play unlimited games (selected ones) for the visit. Had a balloon drop with countdown at 7pm. We all had a blast! We’ve also been during the summer season with all the outdoor activities and I have no complaints. Nice to have a place that puts families first.

10 months agoZero star review for putt putt at night. Half and I do mean half of the lights either don't work or are actually broken. I only took pics on the last couple holes. It was terrible. You could hardly see what you were doing. Simply unacceptable. To make things worse I could not find a manager working at night to complain too to get some money back. We had a group of 10 and we will never come back.
