Customer Reviews

My almost adult children enjoyed only two go-kart rides before wanting to leave. The very tall gentleman at the counter was very pleasant. I'm happy we stopped by. He chatted about where we to visit while at Panama Beach --- Thank you!!!

My friends and I came here on a whim and had such a wonderful time! Everything is well kept and the employees were all so kind! We did the $20 deal which was absolutely amazing; you get mini golf, arcade games, the bumper boats, and go karts! We also spent some time at the batting cages and our entire visit was nothing short of fun!

Most affordable place - our flag football team (and parents) had a great time! For $20 you can do Go carts, bumper boats, putt putt and a few arcade games- you can even trade out items if you don't want to do one of the things! Icees were even affordable and usually places like this way over charge for the drinks and snacks!

Impressive and patient staff. Very clean. The pay system was confusing to me at first. Having 5 grandkids that all love it here, over the years I'd notice the same man running the go-cart track. He told me he'd been there about 30 years and still loved coming to work. Everyone there is helpful with a good attitude. And the food is good too!

Very pleasantly surprised to find that my 36inch tall child can ride on the bumper boats and go karts with me! He is small for his age but very eager to do big kid things. Good deal to do all the activities the park has to offer. Seemed clean and fresh inside. Will definitely come back!

We had both of our boys joint birthday party here yesterday and had the absolute best time! It was completely worth the price! 1000% recommend! My only recommendation would be do it on a weekday instead of a weekend. It was very busy!

I really hate going somewhere and feeling out of place and you say what do I mean by that!!! Been treated less than! I came today and the girl and the golf counter with the green shirt was not nice and she also work the snack counter and was rude! I watch how she treated others vs colored! I honestly was pissed all the workers were not nice honestly! But the guy at the water bumpers oh I wish him well do pleasant and well mannered was super nice I thank him. I didnt spend much time here cause of the atmosph

Every detail was handled with care and professionalism. Everyone was kind and helpful.

A little something for everyone! It gets busy on the weekends, but nice during the weekdays to just pass some time with the kids. They have a nice little arcade, bumper boats, mini golf, go karts ect. They offer special promotions periodically as well.

Amazing!! The daily special is a great deal and you get to experience everything from the arcade, go karts, mini golf and bumper boats. Earlier on the afternoon on the weekend had more kids but later at night had more teenagers and it wasn't as busy. Lots of fun, a great way to spend a day.

Very fun place to spend time with your family I took my kids and parents and we had a ball with the kids well worth it I would definitely keep this place in mind if you're in the area

We always have a good time. We had my daughters 14th birthday party here. The rates were good, service is always friendly. We love to visit the batting cages frequently, it's nice to have something like this close by.

My kids and family enjoyed this place. The bumper boats and go karts were a lot of fun! Expect to get wet in the bumper boats. The arcade was certainly small, crowded, and smelled bad due to the body odor, but the games we did play were fun. The mini golf course had plenty of holes and the cave was cool.

The go carts /This place sucks so bad I got hit and got kick out so do not recommend at all and they took my second race away on the go carts since they did that i lost out on 40 dollars i thought it was fun until that happened the person who kicked me out of the go carts was a guy with a hat mustache and sunburn i think so I will not be coming back ever

Great place to bring kids. Remember to supervise your children so all are able to have an enjoyable experience. When crowded, most weekends, please be cautious of germs and sanitize frequently. Staff does not sanitize often. Cleanliness needs improvement. Camped game area. Suggest eye protection when using the go carts.

It was wonderful. Very nice staff. Took care of all our needs.

What an awesome unexpected family fun day here. We evacuated from the hurricane and wanted to find something in Dothan where we can let loose and have some fun. Love their small town story, started in 1992, and been here ever since. Place is nostalgic, clean, part of dothans history. We met a gentleman who's been there since 1994. What a great time and brought back memories of when we were kids. Bravo!

We went to play Mini golf, nicely taken care off..nice place to have around.

Absolutely fun for the family and reasonable will definitely come back because we enjoyed ourselves.

This is a fun place to go for a mini-golf date!

Great place. The mini golf course could use some repairs. The girl at the desk was super sweet.

Great night with friends and family, great daily specials! Friendly staff too

Went to take my daughter to do something fun. Got there it was a bit busy which is fine. But we were next for go carts, that's all my little one wanted to do. We were front in line then they come say they are shutting down because the track is ?wet? even though a whole group of people already went, made me sad the woman said she could give us some tokens in exchange as they didn't know when they would open. I'm sorry but how about give some tokens and also allow them to still go on the carts when they open

My family absolutely enjoyed our experience at Adventureland! The price for the daily special you can't beat that! The kids loved the mini golf, go karts and the arcade! It was awesome to see ski ball in the arcade! The staff was very friendly and helpful! The only complaint I have is that the mini golf course is not stroller friendly. Will definitely be coming back this summer!

Me and my son go all the time at least twice a month and I just went this last week with my daughter and my son and we had a blast that's why we come so often Jesse was great he helps us with everything and all the rules about the games and how they work and then helps us cash out our tickets he's very helpful and teaches us how to load on our own credit so we don't have to wait everybody that works there is so helpful and so nice and very positive and upbeat we love going and spending a lot of hard time th

We had a blast! The mini golf course was great. We only got to do one course due to the other being renovated, but it did not dampen our time there. The staff was very attentive. The arcade had plentiful games for all ages and skill levels. We will definitely be back.

Had a fun time with the grandkids. They always have a good time. Bumper boats were a hit as well as the go carts. Bring the kiddies and have a good time. Drinks were reasonable, not movie prices. We didn't try the food but they have that too.

If you are looking for a place to enjoy on a night with you're with your family, go anywhere but here. The bathrooms were absolutely revolting like they hadn't been cleaned once all day. My family and I came in at 730 on a Sunday night to spend some quality time together. The staff told us that they were closing and we could not even play a round of golf or play arcade games. As they were telling us this they were covering up concessions, wiping down counters, and sweeping the floors. I understand the incon

If I could put 10 stars I would most definitely do it. If you come to this family friendly amazing place , if you need anything please ask for Jessie he will do anything in his power to help you out and make sure you're taken care of. I highly recommend this place for family afternoons or a simple date with your significant other.

Decent place to hang out with your kids or just adults. Snack bar is pretty reasonable. $17 gets you one round of golf, one go cart ride, one bumper boat ride and 15 tokens I think.

The overall experience was amazing, the staff was superb, and the games/rides were very entertaining! I'm happy to say you'll see me again this time with my whole family so they can enjoy the adventures of adventurland theme park.

Absolutely LOVED the management! Jesse, Madi, and Kelsey were all lovely people and super efficient. Definitely a five stars from me! Make sure to check out their super fun arcade games and Go-Kart rides!

Disappointed in the party package. We have had birthday parties at Adventure Land in the past, but this time it was different and not as good. In the name of COVID safety, an indoor party room is no longer offered. The cake and presents portion of the party is held outside in 98 degree heat at picnic tables. Our cake was melting as I was cutting it. The batting cages now require you to bring your own bat, but this is not listed on the website in the party instructions. The ?play cards? list both go-carts an

This place was fun but disappointing also. They arcade games no longer dispense tickets or take tokens for play. Everything is used by card which takes away the fun of an arcade. Staff was nice and helpful. My niece wasn't allowed to ride go carts because they were "understaffed". Not sure why they couldn't rotate the small and big carts to accommodate children a little younger.

We came to Dothan for the day and decided to try out AdventureLand! So glad we did! We had a blast and the staff were very friendly and attentive! The facility was very well kept. The daily deal is by far the best bang for your buck! Thank you for a great time!

Absolutely pathetic staff very rude and not helpful whatsoever. Arcade was well over 85 degrees the whole time. Batting cages, arcade games, and go karts all use different currencies which isn't explained whatsoever at the desk when you paid. Helmets at batting cages missing most of the padding making them very uncomfortable and a good 50% of the bats were bent. Staff running the go karts was very rude and completely incompetent. Arcade games were mediocre but kind of hard to have an enjoying time when you

Don't waster your time or money , lady inside said my daughter could ride she's the right age and height . Wait in line 30 minutes outside in the go kart line just to be told by some young kid she's not tall enough or not of enough. Find somewhere else to spend your money and time with your family.

It's a very nice place to take kids for the day. It has lots of different things to do. It's great for birthday parties. You can have your party inside.In a closed room, or outside at a picnic table. The cost differ. They have mini golf, arcade games, bumper boats, on water, & the all time favorite, go carts! It's very safe with an employee at every attraction. My son use to work there when he was in high school. I use to take them there and have there parties when they were younger. There are dippi

Took my 3 year old and got the 20$ deal card and a bumper boat ride. Excellent deal for less than 30$ had a few hours of fun. The games are priced fairly, the 120 token deal lasts, we ended up spending the last bit of tokens on the same game just to empty the card before we left. I like that they have a put put golf and go carts, though each time I've went it's been closed due to rain. Will be adding it to ?things to do when the kids are good? list! Definitely recommend.

We used the batting cages for our Granddaughter to practice. They provide enough tokens for a good workout. Bats and helmets are provided if you are without. There are both slow and fast pitch machines to choose from. We go in the late afternoon so it's not quite as hot. There are plenty of trees for shade so it's rather pleasant to sit and watch her practice. Of course you can use the arcade in doors where it's super cool in the Summer. There are also some concessions. If water is your thing, ride the bu

My family (of 8!!) had SO MUCH FUN!! The employee Jesse was very helpful! He patiently, and thoroughly answered any questions we had! The prices were VERY reasonable! There was something for everyone to enjoy, my children range in age 3-18-- and each of them had a blast! We will visit adventure land much more in the future!

The most fun spot for our family! We love the bumper boats, race cars, and mini golf! Owners are great and staff was so friendly!

The staff members are generally helpful on the weekend, not always during the week, but the time is always fun. There are not a crazy amount of games, but we have fun between the arcade, putt putt, and the go karts. The prizes may have changed and we liked the tickets more than the card, but it is more manageable with 2 kids. We definitely enjoy ourselves, but we suggest eating before or after because other than drinks and the dipping dots ice cream, their snacks have not been our favorite.

Super family friendly fun for adults and kids up through teens! I thought it was a little pricey for individual go-kart rides or putt-putt, but if you get the combo it's worth it. They let us trade our bumper boat ride for an extra go-kart ride. Super friendly staff!

First visit to the park. Took 2 grandsons with me for 4hr of fun. The park is well kept, very friendly young employees, good snack bar and very reasonable prices. The boys enjoyed themselves and it didn't break my wallet!! We will be back again. Thank you for a great experience.

I do not have kids, but I love going to arcades. This place didn't have many machines, but I had a great time. It has mini golf (was packed), go kart laps (not sure if open at the time) and the little pool karts. You get your tokens and tickets won on a reusable plastic card which I thought was pretty great.

Good game room my kids always have a great time. They just changed all of their games to credit like cards that the kids swipe at the games instead of the coins. The tickets they win at different games are put on the card which makes that part easier but not as exciting for my 6 year olds. They didn't even know they had tickets when we left. You have to pay $1 For the card bit you can keep it and reload it if you keep up with it. I don't like that most games are 4 credits

Facility is awesome and a great place for family fun! However, we were very disappointed in the lack of care taken to mitigate the spread of germs especially in today?s COVID-19 awareness. There was plenty of staff but no one was cleaning the arcade games after people used them, putters and balls were not being wiped down nor were the go-karts after each session and the water fountain was still able to be used. We have to work together as a community to keep each other safe while supporting our local busin

It's such a great place for a family!!! They have all types of fun and games which include go-kart ing, mini golfing, batting cages, and water bumper cars. Inside they have a arcade type room filled with games you can win tickets from those games and exchange them for candy or other toys. Definitely recommend it for maximum family fun!!

We only played golf and some arcade games but it was very clean, staff was friendly, was a nice area. Haven't tried anything else yet but will definitely be coming back for more another day. Only gave four stars since I haven't tried everything yet.

A lot of fun! I had my sons birthday their many years as he grew. the star is always courteous and accommodating. The price hasn't changed in over a decade either. Still a great value for a great time!

Always great, my son's Birthday is today and had a blast. The associates there are nice, and always helpful. I will always go there for fun with the family. Keep up the good work Adventureland. We will see you soon. ??

Always a great place to take your Family cause it's funny for all ages! Small place but still a great time. The workers behind the counter could be a little more welcoming when kids walk up to the counter to get there prizes after spending money. The one with the short haircut always gets to help the big lady is lazy and just stands looking.

Had a blast playing Putt-Putt golf with Coco. It was really hot out there that day but really really fun!

A small group of us went there to play miniature golf. There were two courses, and we played both (during a small rain storm). The courses were well designed and maintained. They also offer other activities which we did not participate in. The staff there was friendly.

It's a fun place to bring the little ones. The staff has always been good, and typically things are in good repair. I'm happy to see they recarpeted the putt putt course. It would be great if they had more shade out there, my daughter got a little too hot and stopped around hole 11 (bamy summers are brutal). Also, all the games were running except the one shooter my son was looking forward to playing. All said though, 5 stars, I think these folks are doing a good job and we will be back next time we are

It has plenty of fun things to do! And the best part is no paying an entry fee you just pay directly the daily pass, that has a variety of things to do, or buy individual activities. So you easily go in there and get to choose from one, two, however many activities you want! Though the pass for everything is the best value. Check out the website! First we tried the arcade and then bumper cars and it was awesome. The bumper cars go about 15mph? But it's fun to ride around and you get your monies worth. There

Great arcade. They've always added new things over the years. The assortment of inside and outside activities is pretty good. It can get busy, but on a weekday it's a nice family trip.

We had so much fun here! I was initially a little turned off because they charge a dollar for the debit card used for tokens (who does that?) But, we ended up having so much fun that in the end it didn't even matter.

Had a fun time. It was a shame it was raining, we could not do anything except play in the arcade. Still, my daughter had fun so I gotta give them some credit. Employees were nice and helpful, facility was clean. Games were pretty expensive and ticket prizes were lackluster as was the snack bar which just had chips, candy and hotdogs. Will go again on a sunny day ??

The staff is awesome! We visit about 5 times a week, if not more. I couldn't be more pleased with the staff and their assistance.. Jesse and Morgan go above and beyond to assist when needed and the establishment is very clean! I would recommend this arcade to everyone!

very fun place, the go karts are fantastic and the miniature courses are fun and challenging. prices are fair too. they have baseball bats if you wnat to try the batting cages

We had a good time riding bumper boats and gocarts. We had some teenage guys give my two daughters over 1000 tickets from the arcades. They were able to get some good prizes with those added to their tickets. It was a fun couple of hours.

I went to do the spin wheel to get tokens and I landed on 1000 but it only gave us four. It's very fun but don't play games it's all rigged

Staff were very helpful with the kids. All rides & games are excellent. Batting cage needs equipment update but overall experience was a blast.

We took our grandchildren on a Saturday. That was a mistake, it was quite busy. The worst part is there is little to no instructions/guidance for newbies like us. Had there been better guidance, I think they would have had a better time.

We took our little girl to ride the go-karts and bumper boats and we had a blast! Friendly staff, clean atmosphere, and decent prices. We will be back soon for sure.

Super fun, rather cheap, and plenty of stuff for kids to do! Go carts, water bumper boats, putt putt golf, and many game options inside. They also have a batting cage in the back that is 24/7

Cool place to have a family outing, the two golf courses are a lot of fun. The batting cages are a blast and pretty affordable. The inside gaming area is rather small though.

If you are looking for kids not knowing how to use cash registers, games taking your money, and mice dropping in the birthday party review then check, check, and check..... I could have given it a worse room but it was raining the day we went and that means bumper boats, putt-putt, go-carts, and batting cages were all closed. That only left the video games. We were there for a birthday party and while we were eating the cake we looked at the floor an saw mice droppings by the baseboards of the floor. I wou

The place was amazing and me and my family had a lot of fun!! ?? We definitely enjoyed our visit and can't wait to go again!

Went here on date night. Had to pay for an Adventureland card just to play a round of mini golf, attendant girl was rude to my wife, course was in poor condition and falling apart showing its age, workers should spend a little time picking up the debris, and cleaning the holes as it was a bit sketchy to reach into the cups. Manager was nice to offer a $1 refund for the card. Disappointed overall.

Adventureland is a fun place for kids of all ages. I have found employees to be honest, polite, respectful and very safety conscious. I highly recommend it. However, you should be aware that they have gone to a magnetic card system that is very confusing - to me. While it doesn't rip you off, it is just confusing. There has to be a better way. But don't let me stop you because I'm not smart enough to figure it out. I still give them an enthusiastic five stars! Nice people!

Games are completely rigged so that you can barely win anything now. Their game cards that you put money on to play games are prone to take your money and not start the game. They have really gone downhill. Its isnt worth your time or money. My kids don't want to go back and that itself says alot.

Best Amusement Center in Dothan!! Not a Huge Arcade but they do have awesome games and prizes. They also have batting cages, mini golf, and even go karts.

It's fun for about an hour. Then, I was ready to find somewhere else to go. They do update their arcade games often. I go from time to time for the nostalgia. I've been going since I was small. Definitely a staple in the a Dothan area.

We really enjoy our time there.. BUT, I gave it 2 stars, because I have one irritation.. They added a racing game that has flag girls dressed for a "men's magazine" dancing and waving their flags the whole time to get players to play... this game should only be found in a truck stop..... It's extremely inappropriate for a family place. And I have 3 daughters.. I won't be going back until it's removed.

It was fun in its own cheesy mini golf sort of way. There was also a decent arcade, bumper boats, a batting cage, and go karts! Sadly we didn't have time to try everything. We will be back though.

The worker Jessie displayed the finest forms of customer service and tirelessly worked to provide an amazing experience or ?adventure? while me and my friends sat back and benefited from this unparalleled service. Truly a big thank you to him and perfectly showing an attitude that showed he truthfully enjoyed helping others. Will visit again

I usually have nothing to complain about when we visit which is about once a year when my family and I drive out to visit. However I did put in a time adjustment request to Google because it's not open till noon on Sundays. We arrived an hour early, unaware of this. Not too big a deal but they really should have someone on that..

Great place. The manager there is a really tall guy. I believe his name is Jesse. He is so professional and courteous he helped us when we had a problem with a machine. Will definitely go back because of the great service he gave us.

I love adventure land! Especially the go karts and the arcade I'd go every weekend if I could, plus the staff is super cool.

Very nice place to hang with the kids and family. Fun place!

It was ok Certainly not the best I've been to And I hated the gocarts, they were the worst I have ever been on, they were so slow and if you even barley touch someone you get kicked out, never go there for the gocarts, did like the putt putt though, pretty good, liked the bumper bouts too

Batting cages are good but the lighting is completely inadequate. Don't go there after dark. There are two light towers that are not on at night. The lighting level is much less than in the past.

Gotta share my experience through the eyes of my granddaughter She the one who I wanted to impress, and best I could tell it's like the best for a six yr old who loved it cost was typical for this type of entertainment possibly 25 a kid min.but the track and bumper boats were her favorite

WONDERFUL place to enjoy a late night! Manager Jesse was just an absolute pleasure to come across. He was so helpful and great customer service!

First time there and had a blast!! Will most definitely be back!! Despite the 2 very rude employees, the rest of the staff were super friendly and helpful!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?

Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025!
