    This was my first time at Can Can Wonderland; and let me say, I was not disappointed in the least! First of all, the admission price of $10/person is quite reasonable considering I spent 6+ hours playing unlimited vintage pinball and assorted arcade games. I would say the $10 admission paid for itself in the amount of games I played. In addition to unlimited pinball and arcade games for $10, I tried their 'world renowned' mini golf course for $15/person. It's super fun and unique. I think everyone should try it at least once in their lifetime! The crew working at Can Can Wonderland are the nicest of people and are always willing to answer any questions you may have without hesitation :) I live about 2 hours away from Can Can so it's a bit of a jaunt, but I will make the trip back here very soon!

    It's a fun place for our 1st visit! Helpful tips, things to know: -Cards ONLY, no cash -Ideal age 10+ (full experience) -Prepare for lots of people all over the place (not able to social distance) -It's a loud place with loud noises -Don't forget your manners, must be willing to take turns or speak up when people aren't sharing -Plan ahead as the lots get full fast, there is a parking garage for a price. Street parking in surrounding neighborhoods is most likely, plan to walk. -Dress is layers. It gets very warm. -Would be nice to be able to reserve mini-golf online but you can call to make reservations highly recommend. At the very least maybe a sign stating wait time while waiting in line. -Bring your own hand sanitizer, very little provided.

    Frankly, we were a bit disappointed by this place, so I’m giving it a 2.5/5 rating (rounding up to 3). We just came to play some mini golf, but the website didn’t make it very clear (to me) that you have to pay both a general admission fee and a separate mini golf fee. So this ended up being a fairly expensive outing. We had to wait for about an hour before we could play mini golf, and while we waited we played some arcade games. A handful of machines didn’t work or keep score (and what’s the fun in being competitive if you don’t even know who’s winning?) The mini golf itself wasn’t too bad. The course was quite creative! However, because it was quite busy, every group was on top of each other.

    If you are looking for a place to take the kids or enjoy old-school arcade games (from the 50s/60s and up) and maybe some mini-golf, this is a great place to consider. There is an up-front fee to gain entry, but once inside, every game is free to play as long as you want! They also have a fun bar & cafe area for both adults and kids that has a nice variety of eats. Although the food can be a bit expensive, the overall experience can be affordable way to entertain for a day for a reasonable price!

    We went on a Saturday around noon and got in to play mini golf pretty quickly. The golf course was super fun! Besides golf, there are lots of games. Sadly many of the games were broken or not working. We paid to do car karaoke and it didn't work. The people at the desk knew about it and gave us a slip for a refund, but still did nothing to indicate to others it didn't work. Overall the staff were not friendly and when we paid or ordered food or had any interactions with staff, they seemed annoyed that we were interrupting their social time with other staff. It was pretty expensive to get in and play golf and the food was overpriced and not very good. We had a gift card which made it more affordable, but probably won't return any time soon.

    Wonderful place for both families and adults alike. Getting into the place can be a little confusing at first if you've never been since you walk through what looks like a random industrial building. There are signs on the ground that direct you downstairs and that's where the magic begins. You pay $10 for entry and that is absolutely worth it. There are a bunch of old and new arcade games that are free to play. They even have a golf ball cannon where you can shoot targets or even at your friend housed in a small bunker. The food is decent. The boozy milkshakes are delicious and customizable although there aren't a large amount of choices. Golfing is a blast. It's more art than a major challenge but at some holes it gets super interesting (like using your putter as a pool cue). Gorgeous designs and incredibly fun. After 9 pm, it's just people over 18. While golfing seemed to end at 10 pm, the bar was open far longer and had really good cocktails. We spent six hours there and probably could've hung around longer.

    Wonderland is the coolest place to play at!! Antique arcade games were a blast and they have a very unique mini golf course that you just have to see to believe.

    So much fun! Such cool art making up the mini golf course. Good food and tons of beer and specialty cocktails. I love all the antique pinball and other games. A great place for a birthday party or just a fun night out for kids and/or adults!

    Fun experience. Some of the mini golf holes need some updating as balls get lost but they let you grab a new one if they get lost. Good snacks and drinks available. Wide selection of arcade games but not all clear which button to push to start. Overall would recommend

  • 5/5 Kevin M. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible deal for $11🤑 Wristband gets you into the best unlimited free play arcade bar in Minnesnowta 🥳 if only the $3 a song karaoke was $1 this place would be perfect!! So many 1 of a kind machines. Truly an incredible experience. Prepare yourself for an arcade that is interactive and engaging. Like stepping back into your parents or grandparents childhood arcade with a mix of modern machines as well!! Super unique miniature golf course as too!! My mind was blown 🌋 best to go play and have fun so that you can tell others you have truly lived 💯 thank you so much for the amazing employees that provided such a positive and upbeat atmosphere 👍 see y'all soon enough 😇

    I went here on Tuesday to enjoy my husband's company party. Looks like they'll be closing on Tuesday to make room for the private party. This is my first time coming here and it feels so cool. They have many choices on tap wall and some are great. There are many different types of arcade games, so you will never get bored. They also have the mini golf if you don't like playing arcade games.

    I had the week off so my 11 yr old son & I came for the first time on Wednesday. We were 30 minutes early and the first ones in the door, so we were the first to play mini golf along with the arcade games and golf ball cannons. Then Thursday we tried another mini golf location that was kind of bland, but since we were only 5 minutes away I didn't tell my son that I was navigating us back to Can Can for the 2nd day in a row! What quality time together as we found more fun games that we never touched the first day here. We stayed over 3 hours each day and it never got old, both days were incredible! I can't find one bad thing to say, other than it maybe gets noisy after 7:00PM. Otherwise everything worked and we only had to wait a minute a couple of times. We didn't try the food or drinks, but what an experience. The creativity of this place and the rare vintage arcade games were incredible fun, and make Can Can a bucket list type attraction. There is nothing else like it on earth. All of the games are on free-play, so the price is more than fair for the experience you'll have. It's hard to find an arcade where adults feel welcome, Can Can is our place!

    Went with the wife and kid and everybody had a great time! We started with the mini golf which was really unique and clever. I was surprised how much fun all the retro games were for everybody, especially the pinball. The food was pretty good as well, and the self-pour beer tap wall was really cool with a good selection of local beers.

    I took my son, niece, and nephew to CanCan while we were on vacation visiting my mom. We had such a great time. The variety of games was incredible! The amount of history in the old old old arcade games was so cool. The miniature golf course is unique and so creative. The food was good too. The atmosphere is inviting promotes inclusivity for all and is super supportive of the arts. The staff was all very kind as well!

    Overall it is a fun place! Lots of arcade, drinks are good and seem fair priced. Only wish is that the games overall worked a little better, which made me drop one star. Only dropped one because they ARE vintage/older so it is understandable. Highly suggest going, the minigolf is fun too! We did some karaoke as well.

    For $10 you get to come in and play as many arcade games as you want and that includes new school and old school. For $15 more you can also play mini golf. It's a great place for a group and it's also a great place for a date night. You can buy beer or cider by the ounce almost like you can buy gasoline at a gas station! The food was pretty good as well but we were so hungry that I would take that with a grain of salt if you don't like the food as much as we did.

    Wow, I am so impressed by this place! They have changed since Covid and all you have to do is pay a $10 cover and all of the games are FREE!! The games and mini golf are incredible, the food and drink service is top of the line. You may have to wait a couple hours for mini golf, but you can play games while you wait and it is so worth the wait! Overall this is just an amazing place to come on a date or with a group of friends. Kids are welcome as well, but just not after 9pm. Have fun y'all!

    Absolutely amazing place to spend a half-full day! Visiting during an off-peak time makes a big difference. There is a ton of vintage arcade machines. It costs about $15 at the front and you can play as many as you like. It felt like a mix of a museum and an arcade. With an additional ticket there is mini golf too. It can get loud so wearing concert earplugs helps!

    10/22/2022 - This is filled with a lot of arcade games and there is a mini golf course in the center. Everything is pretty much self served and card only. The water is self served and the order of the food is digital. You can just pick up the order at the counter. The only reason why it is a 4 start instead of 5 is because there were many games that were broken and it is just out of order. Also there was only one air hockey table. And the Foosball tables didn't have the puck. So the popular games were kind of out of commission. The arcade games were pretty interesting and there were a lot of them. So around $12.50 for unlimited arcade games is not bad. The food is simple and it's pretty good. I got the Bahn Mi styled hot dog. It's not bad when you're hungry.

  • 4/5 Brett P. 8 months ago on Google
    I was in Minneapolis for a few days, and our friends invited us to join them at can can wonderland. My daughter is a wheelchair user, and our friends also have a daughter in a wheelchair. I will say that in general accessibility was not a problem, as long as your vehicle can make it to the downstairs parking area. Many wheelchair accessible vehicles have a hard time navigating inclines and ramps just because of the design of the van. And as such one of our vehicles was fine, and the other could not make it. So after we were able to navigate The Maze of getting to an elevator and a back alley entrance into the facility, we found a quite nice environment. Very eclectic, old school, noisy and a lot of fun. We do have our concerns with the fire exits in this place, with the aforementioned issue of getting access into the facility we are confident we would have similar problems getting excess out of the facility. And also in the mini golf Putt-Putt area, there are some constraint areas which make it difficult in the wheelchair, but the ownership/leadership has gone to Great Lengths to make it as accessible as possible. Enjoy your time here, we did. Just know that if you have a wheelchair requirement, you're going to have to be patient as you work through the challenges.

    You'll have hours of entertainment at your disposal with a fantastic assortment of both classic and contemporary games, plenty of space to move around and explore, and a wide variety of culinary options. Note that there are a few drawbacks. A number of the games, most of which were retro, were broken or required repairs, which made it difficult to appreciate some titles you might not have played previously. They serve beers by the ounce and have a respectable selection of beers on tap, but their prices seem high for what they have to offer. It could add up to pay by the ounce instead of the glass. You can purchase craft beer for more than $12 per pint. In addition to paying a cost over and above the entry fee, you could have to wait three or four hours to get an opportunity to play a game of mini golf. The course itself is rather creative overall, with many of the holes created by local artists. You and your pals can enjoy a wonderful afternoon, provided that you don't mind the cost and the delay. All things considered, you can enjoy yourself at Can Can Wonderland, but be ready to wait for the more appealing selections, endure lengthy waits for food, and possibly end up with a larger bill than you anticipated at the end of the evening.

    $10 per person to get in, this includes all arcade games and there are a lot of them. You could just go and play arcade games all day and have a blast. Mini golf is $15/person, and it is well worth it. I suggest asking for mini golf right away because it may take an hour or more for the wait. Course is well thought out and is lots of fun. 18 very different holes with little stories as well.

    So my Fiance and I are on a mission to play mini golf across the entire USA. We've been playing for years and this place is SO TOTALLY AMAZING. it was 50$ for us to get in and play golf and play SO MANY arcade games and fun to be had by everyone of all ages! This was the best course we've ever played in all our years. I have been raving to my friends and family about how good this was!

    Amazing vibes and atmosphere! Super cool vintage arcade games and mini golf. There is food and a bar. Would definitely recommend! There is also free underground ramp parking.

  • 5/5 Shelley L. 1 year ago on Google
    What a fun place to go blow some time in the winter! One price gets you in the door. Beer pours - you can pay by the ounce like a gas pump! Loads of relic games. The older, the better! Loved all the pinball machines. Mini golf was extra, and we didn't want to wait 2 hours. Next time, I will play the wild air hockey that dumps a gazillion pucks!

  • 5/5 Amanda K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very fun tonight! Can’t recommend this place enough!! The drinks are amazing and games are all you can play. Even on a busy night, they truly hired amazing employees that kept a positive attitude throughout the busy times! Only thing that was different to me was the not checking out when you open a tab, I was told “I’m good” - when I asked the bartender-that’s a first. Mini-golf was beyond this world, like playing mini golf in a contemporary art museum. So much fun!!

  • 5/5 Rachel N. 1 year ago on Google
    $10 cover to play all the pinball, aracde games you want. They have several antique arcade games. Additional $15 for a fun mini golf course. And then there is the wall of tap your own beer! For $0.40 per oz, you can try them all! Drinks are allowed on the arcade floor. This place is difficult to find, hidden entrance is next to black stack brewery.

  • 5/5 Heather Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Omg...this was a blast and had such a great afternoon playing golf/arcade games. This would be a great time with adults or kids. The food looked amazing as well however never had a chance to divulge in any of the treats! I would recommend this for parties, or just a great hangout spot with friends. Thanks Can Can for a wonderful experience!

  • 4/5 Josh L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great fun! Wide variety of games old and new. Mini golf is wonderful sensory overload. Few broken games but overall a splendid way to kill an evening with friends.

  • 5/5 Theodore S. 2 months ago on Google • 13 reviews New
    Mini golf course is fun. Check in right away. There's usually a little wait, but they have a cool text system, so it's not waiting in a real line. The arcade games/pinball is free with entry, so no tokens or "points" cards. Will definitely be coming back.

  • 5/5 D W. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing fun! Had a great time here. Pricing at $10 for unlimited play is the best kept secret in the Twin Cities. Fantastic selection of games. Staff was friendly, helpful and engaged. What a great treasure this place is! Excellent value. One of a kind experience! Did not golf: will have to try that on the next visit, and will be back for sure!
