Pretty decent mini golf course here for $8.50 a person.  They have 4 different 18 hole courses.  Their holes need some serious cleaning though - sticking your hand in there to get the ball was disgusting - ants everywhere or just plain dirty. But, there was a nice variety of holes.

Inside they have basic arcade games, I was stoked they had 2 people mario cart.  They also had a old pac-man / galaga game - but it was broken.  That was sad.

Cool points for being the place (i think) in the original karate kid movie.

This is the best miniature golf place I've been to...not cause of the golf but because there are other things to do! Of course they've got an arcade but they also have bumper boats/cars and a race track! I like that they've left up the late seventies early eighties decor too it keeps the place festive. This is a hundred times better than the one in El Monte!

I wish I would've took photos cause these are pretty horrible.

Long long long time ago, our entire elementary 6th grade class were voting for the graduation trip....the elementary school version of Senior Ditch day.

The previous year, the knuckleheads that preceded us voted to have a fishing trip down at the local pond at Cerritos Regional Park. What a shame and a  waste of a ditch day. So for our year, the ballot choices were between bowling, fishing at the local pond, or miniature golf/arcade.

The only reason I think the first two choices were the parents' favorites was maybe the reason was that the cost was much more manageable. With that ado, a group of fed up 6th graders took it in their hands and campaigned it to ensure that the miniature golf/arcade was going to win that year. Karl Rove would be so proud of this.

Needless to say, the machine that we like to call PTA said that fishing trip at the pond won again. The huge outcries and the demands to see the ballots were the reason for the *ahem*..change of vote. So horray! There was a real justice that Florida elections couldn't do.

When we were kids, this place was awesome. They got the go-karts, bumper boats, four different levels of "state of the art" miniature golf courses, and huge arrays of fun arcade games.

It was so awesome, the movie "Karate Kid" was filmed here and Daniel-san got his first kiss in the movie shot here. ehh.

Flash forward this to so many years later since my initial fun at this location. For an adult eye, I cannot seemed to recall anymore of the fun that I had. The arcades now need huge improvement on their facility. Granted, it is still fun going through the windmill holes or the tricky bump on any given hole, but nowadays there are some nearby miniature course that is better, with a location in Fullerton came to mind.

They did add two different amusement park rides since I was in my younger days. The bumper cars and boats are occasionally operated while the neighboring miniature golf courses now install batting cages to attract the newer crowds. Good news for all is that they at least have a new arcade game..."Deal or No Deal". Whooopee.

For family fun, it's worth the price. The miniature golf for adults is only $8.50 with a unique special of $15 unlimited play on Wednesday for 2 hours. The rides on the go-kart and bumper cars & boats are $6 each. Like the two hour fun of golf, they do unlimited 3 hour rides special with a round of golf for $28 if you think you can ride 4 times in 3 hours.

I can't really hate family fun and it's way better than taking your little ones to Chuck E. Cheese. (please spare them of that torture). For an adult these days, this might get lost in translation, but it's a worthwhile stop for the whole family. It will brighten up the mood of little children. With the boundless of energy, it's better than sitting around fishing at the pond.

Another interesting tidbits: According to their website, besides The Karate Kid being filmed here....someone set a record by sitting at the tree house here for one year. I pity the fool.

This place has a bunch of games n' stuff. So i got asked to play golf one Thursday afternoon. I shrugged at the thought of playing with someone who can't take a little fun. Games is a word guy's take too literal. Unfortunately this turd, refuses to let a girl win. So we purchased two rounds of golf as two colorful balls rolled our way. I got the pink one! At first I swung and my ball didn't go anywhere. So he showed me how. I acted like I didn't get it; this was his chance for him to step up his game and show me how its done. Ha, I got so many holes in one I did a victory dance and all. I was beaming from ear to ear. I beat him in two rounds of golf. That just shows your true colors. So kids, just relax, have a little fun, take your time and you will kick some a$$. Plus i have never seen so many frustrated groups who have given up on golf. Is it really that stressful? Just concentrate and breathe =) Note this story is several years old, now-a-days the dark owls have claimed their territory. Go during the day and you should be fine.

What do you with your 14 year nephew when you lock yourself out of the house? You hop on yelp mobile for ideas. We ended up here for a round of miniature golf. The courses are fine but could use some maintenance and updating. For gosh sakes he would have never beaten me if the 18th hole on course one was working. I could have made a comeback.

The go carts were raggedy and I wouldn't suggest using them .

I SWEAR A SCENE FROM KARATE KID WAS FILMED HERE!
Fun place to go with friends and family. They have mini golf, go carts, bumper boats, bumper cars, and some weird spinning disk thing. They also have an arcade that smells like prepubescent teenagers. Their snack shack is alright, although eating at those places never makes on feel clean.
Overall, it's fun!

Wow, I haven't been here in years!  I don't recall it being quite as small as it was, but maybe it's just that I got bigger.  I would have given this place an extra star bc this is the place where I kicked my friend's ass in mini golf by a whopping 11 strokes, but I figured that had more to do with my mini golfing skills (or my friend's lack of skills) than the courses themselves.  They now charge $4 parking on certain days during the Winter and every day after 2 p.m. in the Summer.  Screw that!  Who pays for parking for mini golf??  Preposterous.  They also have bumper cars (very small and slow), Indy Car Racing (my friend blamed his coming in last place on his car, which was purple, so stay way from purple), bumper boat cars, and some carnival ride which didn't seem to be working.  We went on a Wednesday, when they have a special for a round of mini golf and unlimited rides for two hours for $15 pp.  The courses aren't very challenging and need some of the holes need refurbishment, but supposedly out of the four courses, numbers 3 and 4 are the more difficult ones.

P.S. Karate Kid fans will be disappointed bc they got rid of the water slide.  And yes, this is where the mini golf scene from the Karate Kid was filmed!

Arcade, bumper cars, and go carts look old because they are.  I get gas nearby sometimes and it doesn't look like anyone is in here.  The last time I was here, my high school crush and I learned that we were horrible at putting.  When I took a friend here, she gave me dirty looks.  This place is still open?

I just attended a wild 60's theme wedding at this place and was transported to my youth and family vacations to Myrtle Beach.  This is one of those Clark Griswald type family outing spots, complete with rides, arcade and groovy Putt Putt courses.  Who doesn't want a fun game of miniature golf complete with waterfalls, windmills and tricky little holes ?  Especially after downing sugary wedding cupcakes and coffee.  My boyfriend who fancied himself as a pro Putter was beat by my mad lucky skills on the course (too many hole in ones to count, ha)and forced me to play an extra game to redeem his pride.  Perhaps it was the music from the wedding d.j. spinning cool 60's and 70's themed pop that made me feel like I was in a scene from Peter Sellers "I love you Alice B. Toklas" but I had a great time here and would love to bring other friends back.  Unfortunately I dropped my camera on the second hole and it brokeso I missed a lot of funny background shots.
