    We had a very nice time. The kids played games inside. Some wore mask and some didn't, which is fine. The miniature golf course was very nice. Nobody rushed us since we were a little larger group. I just wished they had people on the floor inside disinfecting the games that had high traffic. So many people playing right after each other and touching everything, they didn't have any one trying to disinfect. We are still watching this pandemic go up and down. We just can't let our guard down. We don't want to go on lockdown again.

    Took my daughter for her birthday and had so much fun. This is an AWESOME place for family fun and enjoyment. Many types of indoor and outdoor games, bumper cards, go carts, and so many more. Any child,and even adults can enjoy something. My only issue and recommendation is that they sanitize the machines, especially the virtual games and goggles after so many people are putting them on. While we are still recovering from Covid and at risk of it. Will definitely go back, and recommend to others.

    Place was nice and we had fun and enjoyed spending a couple of hours there but sadly most of the rides we wanted to go on was closed. It was also very expensive. There was 5 of us and spent almost $300 just to play almost everything that was open/on. $5 for a quick 1min game is totally not worth it.

    It was fun i liked the mini golf course it had a really nice decoration. The food was great I like everything about it except for one thing when i has waiting in the line for the go-carts the smell that the kids and adult were giving off was awful.. it not just in the waiting lines but inside to i get it, it was hot that day..(DONT WANT TO BE MEAN OR DISRESPECTFUL) BUT... Just put some deodorant on when going it shouldn't be to hard.

    It's an awesome spot for family fun with a bunch of cool arcade games and activities like go-karts, laser tag, batting cages, mini-golf, and rides. Sometimes it gets pretty busy, but overall, it's a fantastic place for a good time! 🚗 ⛳️ 👾🎰🧩🀄️🕹️

    We had a great 18 holes of mini golf! Course was well maintained and had great scenery. None of the holes were too samey and it wasn't too crowded. Only got a peek at the arcade but I'm hoping to go back and try out Beat Saber sometime!

    Had a great time with the family. It was crowded but it was still fun. The go carts were the best!! The games inside are fun and over stimulating 🤣 laser tag was a hit! The food and drinks are super expensive though! Fun time!

    Plan to arrive early - lines build up through the day. The parking lot is not built for the size of this location so if not arriving at open, plan to allot extra time for finding a spot. Kiosks all around to add funds for attractions. We went on a busy day over Spring break and several rides were closed because they weren't staffed. They did open later in the day once more staff were present. Also the lines for the food grill were LONG - they had two spots open and it moved SLOWLY. The seating options however are fabulous, with some indoor and some shaded but access to the outside breezes.

    Beautiful landscape with great flora. We went solely for mini golf and it was pretty nice, but could use some maintenance. Some of the course material is coming up. We also got a pepperoni pizza, which was decent. Frankie’s is pretty good overall..

    Frankie's is AWESOME! The atmosphere will definitely turn you into a kid again. So many games inside and rides outside. My favorite is Putt-Putt. However, I was unable to play b/c I wasn't dressed for the cold weather and it is an outside game. I had alot of fun while there. I will definitely be returning.

    We have been at Frankie’s a couple of times, its a great place to bring in family of all age and have quality time. If you are couple and want to spend time the best time is to come on Saturday after 8pm, no kids are allowed if there are any they have to leave the platform. I would love to come on Saturday and avail this couple opportunity.

    We had a lot of fun! A little pricey, but worth it! Next time it's a sunny day we'd like to try mini golf here! It was raining last time we went or we would have gone that day too! My 3 year old had a lot of fun! We especially like the racing games and physical ball games!

Staff is kind and helpful. Virtual Reality Games Bumper Cars Laser Tag 3-D Games Batting Cages Go Carts for Kids and Adults Water Bumper Boats Ropes Course Rides Arcade Games And More!

    The mini golf here is great. However while we were there, 3 separate groups just walked across our hole to get to the exit. Not sure if they were just rude or if there is a layout issue. The amount of arcade games is pretty small especially for a place that is constantly packed. I took my 4 year olds here, and I would hesitate to bring them again because of how crowded the arcade area gets and people not paying attention to smaller kids. I would do the mini golf again though.

    Kids always have a blast here. It’s clean and ride operators are cool and seem to be paying attention to safety. Indoor arcade with VR options, batting cages, terrifying and less terrifying outdoor rides, mini golf, and go karts. Be ware, you buy a card and have to reload. Unfortunately the rides and attractions don’t list how much each costs so you can stand in line, get to the front, only to be told you don’t have enough on your card and have to go reload. Would be better if the attraction sign said how many $ or points it costs so you can keep track. Otherwise , always a fun time.

    Frankie's is fun for all, but get ready to cough up a lot of $$$! Especially with the arcades, money evaporates pretty quickly! But overall it's a good environment and lots of activities of kids of all ages! The downside was that many of the activities were closed. Also go early because it gets really crowded an hour or two into the day!

    Played some mini-golf and bumper boats on the Fourth of July. The bumper boats was a nice way to cool down in the summer heat after golfing. We got a snack at the Cafe. I don't recommend the pretzel bites...they just taste like fried dough and not a normal pretzel. Overall we had fun. They have quite a variety of activities.

    I took my 9 year old son today to Frankie's... It was the first time either one of us had been there. We got down there around 130pm (Saturday). We walked around and checked out everything first. We ended up staying several hours. Played Putt Putt ($10 per person)... He drove the "Rookie" go karts twice ($7 each)... We drove the Road Course track "go karts" together ($8)... played a few games inside ($2 each)... and I spent around $46 total... WE HAD A BLAST... Yeah, it was a little expensive... and it got really crowded around 3:30pm but my son was so excited. We had lots of fun. We drove 70 miles to come to Frankie's... and all my son talked about all the way home was how much FUN he had and he loved everything we did. We will definitely go back. Park was clean, inside and outside, Bathrooms were nice and clean, staff was nice and professional. Parking lot was clean except were I saw someone had dropped their drink cups on the ground which I picked them up and put in a nearby trash can. The only thing I would like to see is maybe a all day pass ticket to help save on cost... or senior citizen discounts because I believe a lot of Grandparents would take their Grandchildren.

    Had an insane amount of fun with my friends. I like how they have a dining lounge and a bar. They have some hard drinks you can buy to loosen up. My favorite ride is the drifter course. Pretty sure it's the one I rode the most because of how GOOD it feels to get good at cutting those corners. Also the food was good for the price. A bit disappointed in the generic arcade games but if I really wanted to play foreign games then I'd just go to round one. But hey at the end of the day I deposited 80 bucks and left with 20 in my card. So I'll definitely stop by again sometime! :p

    Excellent and challenging putt putt course! Greens are in excellent condition! I would take off 1/2 star for them not blowing the greens with a leaf blower. You will be putting on top of leaves and flower blooms on several holes!

    There is so much to do here for the kids ages 3+ to adults. It's a well-kept and clean park! We visited on a weekday in February 2024, and there's weren't many people, so we didn't have any lines at all. One downside, though, was that there weren't enough employees to man the rides, so we had yo wait for them. It can get pretty pricey!!

    Pretty solid place with lots more fun of photos I didn't post. Tons of fun. Just a head up the bumper boats take foreverrrrr. Kids loved this place and fell asleep on the ride back home. Nice little bar for adult beverages too.

    This place is awesome for family fun and for a celebration. There are so many things to do from go-karts to games to Virtual Reality to ticket games. Check out the website for a full list of attractions and activities. We stopped in today qith some friends to celebrate my son's birthday. We played games and had a blast. Plan according this place fills up and you will have fun. It is not the cheapest arcade but has a good variety and you will need to plan ahead with your budget or you might get sticker shocked when you get here. It is nice that you load a card and use it for all the games and attractions, even for food in their cafe.

    It was ok. They didn't have much open. We played mini golf and rode the go carts and left. They told us over the phone everything was open. We drove over an hour. The time with family was the best!

    My first time coming here. Definitely a fun place to bring your child/children not only children it's fun for adults as well! Will definitely be returning. There is so much to do from the arcade games, fun little rides, go karts, bumper boats, mini golf, bar for adults, laser tag, and a place to eat.

    What a great place for families!!!! Enjoyed hours of activities that those of all ages enjoyed (47, 39, 38, 14,& 10). Thanks again to the kind teenager who gave my cousin a Squish Mellow. You truly made that little boys' day!!!!

    We had a blast at Frankie’s! Atmosphere is fun and there’s plenty of activities to do there for adults and not just kids. We especially loved the go karts. Both times we have been there are some rides that aren’t open yet, which is a bummer. I was told they just don’t have enough staff there to open everything. (We would have really liked the drift go kart track). Great games, great that you can have a beer or two, the rides are a little pricey but if you go in expecting to spend about $40-50 to have a fun day, then it’s the place for you! Will definitely be going again.

    The outside stuff is better than the inside stuff. I prefer to spend my money on rides because you ride longer for the money. They need more parking spaces. I rode around 10 times to get a park.

  • 5/5 Ian B. 2 years ago on Google
    Go karts are so fun here. If you have kids they have a kid track and a track where the gods right shotgun. There is also a drift track, but since covid that track hasn't been open yet.
