8 reviews for Frankie's of Raleigh
If I had the chance to meet anyone on this Earth... it would probably be Frankie... so I can tell him how Fun his Park is. And I would also tell him that the name "Frankie's Fun Park" is quite accurate.
I would only love this place a hair more if you were allowed to transport your booze throughout the Fun Park. I mean, obviously not on the go-carts (which were fun)... who wants to get pulled in the middle of a winning lap for a DUI? Not me...
That's all I'm sayin'
Thanks, Frankie.

Frankie's can be a lot of fun with a group of friends, even for adults. But don't expect to have a good time for long unless you've got a decent amount of cash to spend. Don't get me wrong, Frankies' prices are reasonable compared to similar joints, but you'll burn through money pretty quickly nonetheless.
I've always been interested in the laser tag, but never had the patience to wait in line to get into it. The mini golf is fun, and probably the best value in the place - you'll get the most enjoyment time out of your $6.00 as compared to a 5ish minute go-cart ride.
I've also never tried the restaurant either, and also probably never will. Frankie's isn't exactly the place I'd go to have dinner, but I can certainly visit for an evening of fun.

The arcade seems to be a bygone antiquity at this point. It's abandoned most of the malls, conceding that your Wii, your PS3, your X-box, or your R2-D2 can all deliver the goods on your fancy 42 inch plasma screen. Frankie's gives a nod towards bringing that back, but there's something about having to convert my money to Frankie-bucks or whatever and THEN spend more than a quarter to play Ms Pac Man that just seems horrible and indecent.
There still is fun to be had, though. While the ski ball tracks may be too short for you to enjoy as an adult, but you can still win your tickets to "purchase" useless, but somehow endearing chotchkies at the giant trivia game with enough friends to make it interesting. Or you can check out the mini golf, which is probably still one of my all-time favorite past times. Playing laser tag is okay, but going up to the special viewing room to watch the laser taggers go is also a pretty good time, depending on the taggers you're watching and the company you keep.
Avoid the restaurant at all costs. You'll think "Man, I've been playing hard and a burger sounds really great right about now." That's a poor thought to have. Out of a group of 15, zero people enjoyed their dinner. That's a 0% approval rating, for those too lazy to do the math.
I can only in good faith recommend the mini golf for a good time, but the mini golf is a good time and far more reasonably priced than the rest of the shenanigans available.

This place totally rocked! - OMG , I just sounded like a 15 yr old.
I had such a blast at this place. My daughter couldn't get enough of the games. The Road Course was the best. My mother whose 62 yrs old got on the course and was speeding with the youngsters. Watch it , Grandma!
The place was clean and great environment. It's a great place to take the kids or grandparents. :)
Your classic family fun zone type of deal. They've got the works, starting with mini golf and working on up. This is the go-to place of the kind for my friends and I, and for good reason. Every time I walk in I'm reminded of just how slick and well-appointed the place is. This is no ground-to-dust batting cage with a few video games... It's a well-run joint with a lot going for it.
The prices are better than industry standard and everything is well designed, especially the laser tag. I would definitely recommend Frankie's over any competing place in the area, no contest.
Even though I'm pushing 30, I still have a place in my heart for arcade games. Since Chuckie Cheese has enacted that whole "You have to have a kid with you to hang out here" rule I've had to move my video game play to Frankie's.
This place is actually lots of fun. They have tons of video games ranging from the old school Ms.PacMan to a new Deal or no Deal machine, and video games are all reasonably priced.
Some of the old style arcade games also give you tickets for winning that you can trade in for your typical bouncing ball, glow in the dark bracelet fare.
A great place for adults to pretend they're 8 again...or to bring their 8 year olds (there are always tons of kids here as well).
I totally love this place this a great place for grown ups-- uhm I mean kids and the kid at heart (grown folks) alike. I went there a little while ago with a good friend of mine and we had such a blast. We got on the race track and raced around a few times which was pretty cheap. It was about $6.00 or something in that range. It was great fun competing with each other. There are also arcades on the inside, a drop zone, fun house, mini golf, batting cage and laser tag. There's something there that will get you excited!
oh my god. north carolinians really have no idea. this place is awful. everything is much smaller than you would imagine. drive a couple hours to your nearest amusement park. this place sucks.
