Came here with the kids totally unplanned and it was THE BEST time! We rode the go carts for quite some time. The track itself was fun to drive on and a smooth ride. Definitely will be coming back more often!

Took my girlfriend here for her first time mini golfing, and we had a great time. The course was clean and was fun. Could use some more obstacles and less bridges because every bridge I smacked right into the front. After we finished we rushed over to try the go karts and they didn't disappoint I felt like a nascar driver, the payment was nice and smooth. He didn't force us to pay at the beginning they were very friendly and the owner was a nice guy and even showed us a good spot to sit and watch the sunset

We had a great time today for a 49th birthday. We did go carts and putt-putt. The owners were there. So nice to us. Very clean and great atmosphere. Don't hesitate to go. All ages can do it.

Stopped over tonight just to check it out and so glad we did! The kids had a blast, carts were clean and quick!! Cannot wait to go back. We will be doing golf and carts next time!

Visited today on our way back from the waterfront with my daughter and a few of her friends for her 16th birthday. 6 of us enjoyed the go-karts and mini golf. Track was fun and not overly packed with too many karts, so plenty of room to race. Mini golf greens are a little aged, but overall in great shape. Entire complex was well maintained and clean. Staff is very friendly. We'll be back!

Great place , highly recommend for a fun place to have a little fun . Owner was super cool , left my phone in the go cart he ran it out to me in the parking lot and made sure he got it back to me . Stop in !!

Had a blast with my children the owner or workers was great i strongly recommend this for family events or just for you to ride a few laps

Absolutely love riding here and playing mini golf! Great place for a fun date! The owners are wonderful!! I didn't get the best pictures, but what a great time!

Very nice Go-Kart track. The man who supervises the facility was very polite. Also recommended a nice place to go to eat healthy food.

The owners Mike and Tom are awesome great guys they really keep a clean fun friendly place we rocked out 18 holes of mini golf and the go cart cart track looked so fun we will be back to visit them again

Excellent place. Great service and lots of fun. We all had a great time.

Just had our first 2025 spin around the track yesterday. Still a blast! Here's to another great summer! Keep up the good work, guys!!!

As a local and a fan of fun, family-oriented activities, I recently visited Bayview Raceway and Golf, and I must say, it's a delightful spot for a quick summer adventure. This place has been a tradition in the Southtowns for generations, and after spending a day there, it's easy to see why. First off, the go-karting is a blast for kids and adults alike. Children as young as 7 can drive their own karts, and the younger ones aren't left out ? they can join the excitement by riding along with a parent or guar

Owner is amazingly nice. Went on a whim to play mini golf on a date last night was told to enjoy and play as much as we'd like. Had such a good time. Place is kept clean and well maintained. We were there past dark and there was good lighting to continue to play. Staff was super friendly. They have go karts as well that we didn't try but everyone out there looked like they were having a good time. Definitely a highlight of our evening out.

My husband took me here last night for date night and we had a blast! The employees were outgoing and friendly, and prices are amazing

Took my daughter and her friend for go karting and miniature golf. They had a blast! Definitely recommend. The owners are great!!

This was a great last hurrah for summer 2020. 2 teenage boys, go karts and mini golf. Perfect. As much Hands free processing as could be. Really enjoyable time.

my family and I went for my 50th bday. Had a blast, worker's we're very nice owner was amazing he made sure we had a great day. Gave us extra rounds on go carts. Went home with a Happy Birthday golf ball. Will definitely go bk

I went here for a date and had so much fun. Mini golf was great and the go karts were amazing. the owner was extremely kind and made sure that we had the best experience possible.

So much fun! I took my niece and she had a blast. We had to wait for the racetrack and while we waited the owner let us play mini-golf for free. We tried to pay him for it and he wouldn't accept. A super enjoyable place, great fun for everyone in your family. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Mike the owner is such a nice guy! A very cute clean facility for some good ol fashion fun. The courses are great for all ages!

I took my son and his friends to do some go-cart racing and it was a good time. Make sure to bring cash or you will be charged the processing fee to use credit. They have a deal where you get to sessions of go-cart racing and mini golf for $30. I wish they had one session of go-cart racing and mini golf for $25. They keep the track and golf area in really nice condition. I would definitely go back.

Today was the opening day of the season. My girlfriend and I went to play mini golf and the owner was extremely nice and let us play as long as we wanted! Because it was the first day he gave us half off too! It a great place to go with anyone! We can't wait to go back for more fun!

Me and my wife had so much fun playing mini golf if we werent in a time crunch we would have stayed longer to ride the go karts. Mike was a super nice guy cant wait to return

This place is awesome! Went for my sons 8th birthday. The owner was so nice! While waiting for the rest of our family to arrive he let us play putt putt for free, and while we were on the go karts he even let us take a few extra laps around the track! Great family atmosphere! Can't wait to go back!

Staffer claimed my young son was stepping on both the gas and break, and removed him from the track before he finished the 17 laps. No need to treat customers like that, but he has no desire to go back. As a parent I would suggest going somewhere that both appreciates their customers and you get a better value for your money.

Had a blast! Showed up for a little fun with my boyfriend and felt so welcomed! Rode with a couple other people we didn't even know and after the ride we all had huge smiles! Clean carts fun golfing and great experience!

It was completely pouring rain right before we showed up. Rain finally stopped and the owner let us play mini golf for free while he tried to dry off the race track. Dried it off completely and let us ride before the rain started again! 10/10 recommend to anyone! Owner and prices were fantastic.

We stopped by after eating lunch. My husband and one daughter went riding. My other daughter was scared, so we sat on the bleachers, for a minute. The owner came over to us and told me I could take my daughter for a lap around to see if she like it, free of charge. We ended up going around a few times. Great place to take your family. Nice, friendly people.

Went there for a date and had so much fun, owner was there and was super nice and made sure we had a great time. Cant wait to go again. Place was clean and people were friendly.

This place is awesome. I brought my family over the weekend and we had a fantastic time. Very family friendly a great way to spend an affordable afternoon with your kids. The owner was kind and generous we received way more than we paid for. It's the way a business should be run. My kids can't wait to go back!!

Went for my first time today and the reviews didn't let me down. The owners are incredibly friendly, have a clean business and make sure that you leave happy from letting us play golf as long as we wanted to extra laps around the track. We had a blast and will definitely be here a lot more often.

This place is awesome me and my boyfriend come all the time. We usually have the track to ourselves, but even when there's others out on the track its super fun. The owner maintains the karts himself. The mini golf is also nice as well (not so much of a golfer myself) . Overall I highly reccomend the stop. Its a fun break to a busy day. Its very fairly priced and the wait is never crazy long.

Great time with my family! I was able to go and hold my 3 year old in my lap, my 2 older boys also had a blast! Had alot of fun doing Mini Golf also. Clean facility, everything sanitized between uses. Would definitely return!

Very great place to come have fun with your friends. Owner was very friendly and nice. Let my friends and I play mini golf for free while we were waiting for go karts. Went on the track for 17 laps and then came back later and did another 17. Highly recommend I'll be here a lot this summer!

Amazing experience, beautiful day to spend outside. The owner was extremely nice and accommodating. Plus it was very affordable. I won't go anywhere else anymore. The mini golf course was fun for all ages. I will definitely be back, and recommend this place for a nice relaxing day to have some family fun.

I had an excellent time at this mini golf course and it looked new and revamped from what it was previously. The owner was very kind and made sure we had a great time. An overall great experience for anyone looking for some great family fun or a great idea for date night!

The owner was very friendly, they were very nice and gave our whole group extra laps! We got to play around the whole mini-golf 2 times for no extra charge and everything was sanitized and clean. Covid-19 protocols were in place and I felt very safe. 10/10 I will bring my whole family back again.

Fun time miniature golfing ! Mike and Tom are very friendly and have been here for 45 years! Support our local business owners!

This is a fun place for kids or adults who don't expect to go really fast. The cars have 5 HP engines and go slowly around a peanut shaped track. It's basically an oval track with the straights curved in. The owner was friendly. The cost was $12 for 15 laps. It's over in about 10 minutes. If you want to experience fast carts on an interesting course, you'll pay more at the Galleria mall raceway. For kids who have never been in a cart this is fun, but depends if you want really fast carts you may want

Great service , the manger and his crew were very pleasant!! Allowed my friends and I to mini golf for free while we waited for our ride . We raced twice and he even gave us extra laps ! Was very clean , and they sanitized the rides after every use. Was very fun !!

Came here on an overcast Sunday afternoon with the intention of playing a round of mini golf. When we arrived, the owners were so accommodating and friendly and told us to play until it started raining without charge. It did end up raining, but we finished the round and headed back in to pay. We were told the round was free of charge-they just hoped we would come back and play again when the weather was nice. Such great customer service- we will definitely be back again!

This was a fun place for the family! The guys that run it are super-friendly and committed to making sure its clean and safe in the "Covid-era". The golf course is a bit "no frills" but fun. The go-carts are awesome and they give you plenty of time to drive!

Guy there was awesome and super friendly. Go karts are fun and golf course is well thought out. Fun thing to do on a nice day with some friends. He even gave us an extra round on the go karts because it wasn't busy. Give it a go!

Great Place! Friendly staff. Just repaved the go kart track,so it was very smooth. He gives you extra laps on the go karts if there is no people waiting in line. Mini golf was also fun! Very close to Lake Erie. Great place to go for some fun.

My family & I went for the go karts one night, ending up going back the next morning for mini golf & more go kart racing! The owners were more than accommodating seeing that we had 10 kids each time we went! Definitely going again soon!

So much FUN!! What a great place to go to spend time with our teenagers! Our first race, was just the 4 of us, filled with laughs (as everyone lapped me). Next race the track was full & people were in the bleachers, laughing and cheering. Owner is awesome! What a great guy to talk with.

My sister and I stopped at Bayview Raceway & Golf yesterday, July 4th, with my 3 year old daughter and dog. The owner was very accommodating and was happy to have our dog there, which was such a relief. It was my daughter's first go-karting experience and she absolutely loved it. She was able to safely ride buckled on my lap and had the biggest smile on her face the entire time. She has already asked to go back! We also played mini golf, which everyone enjoyed. I got two hole-in-ones and the owner had

Bayview Raceway and Golf was the perfect getaway. Not only was the staff extremely polite, but the entire area was thoroughly sanitized both before and after our turns on the track. The owner even let my family play mini-golf for free! I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking to have a fun night out.

Great time for our big family celebrating Jacks 15th bday. Clean, sanitized and owners were super nice. Even gave this mom who was planning to sit m watch a free ride ! It was a blast. Def will be back. Thank you....

Enjoyed my time racing a lot. My friends and I had fun racing with others and we had our own personal race. The people were nice and service was great. We also was able to play a complementary game of mini golf! Can't wait to go back!

I was very disappointed with the man running this place. My 7 year old grandson after 3 laps rode into the grass. The man running the establishment took his sweet time walking over to help my grandson get his go kart back on the track and only let him go around 3 more laps. I told him that's not right, he said my grandson should be glad he let him go around 3 more laps because he made him do some work. This cost $15 for 17 laps. I'm so disappointed in this place. It his job to help people if they have misha

Owner is super nice! It was sprinkling when we got there so he told us to start the game and play for free if it started raining harder! Evidently it did and he did not want to take money from us! Will definitely return more often ??

Had a awesome time. Went there today owner was there a awesome dude gave us a free night ride super chill place and fun place to go and great people to be around and super great price too! 5/5

Very nice people ! I drove about an hour from Erie pa with the kids golf was nice than we did the go karts . A nice guy that worked their seen the kids were hot and offered us a nice cold water everyone was very polite and laid back ! great service , they also have birthday service very cool highly recommend! Ty for the good memories

Nice little track. Went here with my son. We had a fun time. The cost was $15 a person for 17 laps. If you pay with a credit card there is a $2 service fee.

Great place! Friendly staff! Gave extra laps for being safe and not bumping. The also gave us free put put for buying 2 rides on go carts! Kids had a blast!

The owner was extremely nice and let us play the putt putt course for free while he dried off the track from the rain. Not only that but he also gave us a few extra laps. I highly recommend coming to Bayview race and golf.

Have gone here several times just me and my wife as well with my two little ones. It's an amazing price and good amount of rounds! Always a blast to stop in and add some fun to your day!

The owner was super nice and my daughter had a blast at her first ever mini golf experience. Loved the classic windmill hole. We'll definitely be coming back here.

You guys are the best! my family and i came here and the owners were super nice! the place is really clean we all had to much fun! the go carts are fast and my favorite part!!

Great family fun. The people let you ride longer sometimes if your not smashing other cars. Play some mini golf and have fun with your kids bring the grand kids and give them a ride. I would recommend this place come on out not many small local owned places anymore. Great job guys!

Kids had fun on the carts and the track is great for beginner drivers. Mini golf needs a refresh and was boring even for the kids. Skip the 10 bucks per person you pay for the mini golf and just do a 2nd round on the track.

Place was not temporarily closed about a week or so ago as my husband took my girls on the Go-Karts for the first time after we ate at Tony's. Price was pretty expensive for just a plain oval track and especially since it's never very crowded. My girls had fun on their first ride ever, so that was a plus.

Went today with my family, absolutely worth it!! very clean environment and the owner was incredibly friendly. truly went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed everything we did. we will definitely be back next year!!

Family friendly and wonderful service. I drove 30 minutes to get there and wasn't disappointed. Paid for two races and the staff threw in a complementary game of mini-golf. I definitely recommend.

The owner is awesome. he let me and the family play mini golf for free while he prepped the track. The whole family had a great time. Highly recommend coming out for a family activity!

Good, clean fun! Fresh, ultra-smooth blacktop. Perfect open track. Great location between Route5 and the lake with a classic hotdog stand right next door! Ample parking. Truly fair pricing. The owners are the nicest guys in the world! Had a mini surprise birthday party for my son and 3 friends. GoKarts then Putt-putt, then when we came back for the second round of GoKarts, he gave us extra laps and let the moms ride for free! 4 happy 13yr olds+happy moms+super sweet owners=return business. Local business at

Took my 2 and 4 year old karting (they sat in our laps) and it was the highlight of the summer. My recommendation is to go during slow times (we went first thing Saturday morning) and the owner will let ride as long as you want, very friendly and accommodating.

Had a blast here! Super friendly owners, they let us do double the laps on go karts since we were the only ones there. Highly recommended!

Fun spot, very convenient to have mini golf, go karting, and food all right next to each other. Makes for a good day! They were very chill here too, letting us play all the rounds of mini golf we wanted.

Employee screamed at my sister after her young son accidentally ran off the racetrack and he saw that she briefly giggled about it. The guy actually got in her face and yelled. I mean, he lost his mind. There's no other side that I'm not telling, her 11 year-old son accidentally ran his cart off track, she laughed at it and the employee got in her face and screamed at this 30-something woman with 3 kids. She wasn't causing trouble, she didn't mouth off, her son made an error, and she got screamed at by this

This place was awesome! My family of 7 was able to get right on the track. The owner was there working himself and treated us like family. Customer service here is outstanding, you will not be disappointed if you come and spend the afternoon.

My kids loved it! Reasonably priced and great experience!

Too much fun!!!! Go karts run amazing and the steering is incredibly accurate so you can make very tight turns around the curves and the mini golf is amazing, frustrating, hard to win and gives you a challenge but very satisfying. would 100% recommend.

Great place nice and friendly staff they sanitize between each ride??

Tried to buy a gift card?there is no way to buy gift cards over the phone as you have to be in person. Manager proceeded to become irate and extremely rude and said she did not need my money. Hope yall do well! Response to Owner: I live out of state. Was trying to give you money. The gift card was going to go to a family member with 4 kids, all of whom will never use your facility because you are too closed minded and near sighted to understand how to get a simple gift card ordered over the phone. Again, g

I can't say enough about Bayview. We've been here many times and have always had a great experience. The owner waived all charges today when it started to rain during our ride! Happy Mother?s Day!

It was fun! The Go-Karts are in beautiful condition, the raceway is nice and smooth and looks redone. Clean and liter free! Very fun and competitive activity for my group of friends. Oh! And the staff was very friendly :)

I love coming here; the owner is friendly and super generous. Always give extra laps on the go-karts, and mini-golf is always fun. I cannot recommend this place enough

We went there twice this summer with different people and had a blast, we even got to play two rounds of putt putt because the go carts were so busy, I've driven by it at least a thousand times, but now I'm hooked. The people that work there are all pretty nice,and honest.

Had a blast track is a little small but still had fun and for my birthday he gave us extra laps and a free game of putt putt. Clean and very nice guy tht owns/runs it!

I brought my toddlers and they loved it ! We are already going back the next day. It is a very relaxed atmosphere, smooth riding. Highly recommend.

We've gone many times. Always fun. Rain or shine. It was the owners birthday today and he feed pizza and wings and cake to anyone who came by. Such a family friendly place.

This place is awesome! They revamp the place and it looks amazing. The owner even let us play free for our moms birthday because no one else was there! Great place and great people

Awful experience. Sons first time, hes 10, he did a great job, at the end he messed up and ended up on the grass about 10 feet. The owner came out to me in my kart and started screaming in my face that it's not funny over and over and over again.(I did laugh a little bc I looked up and saw him fine but off the track a little) and he would stop screaming at all of us. Once I realized he was actually yelling at me I just said hes fine so I laughed at him a little and he just kept yelling. We literally did no

I've been coming here for 34 years. Brought the grandkids this time and everything is just as great as ever! Love Mike and Tom; the way they keep the family oriented relaxed atmosphere.

Thank you Bayview raceway & golf ( Tom /Staff) You made my Granddaughter Birthday. Very speical!! It isnt much to do since the Pandemic (Very Sterile Cleaning in between)The Price is very affordable. We will be back! Thank you for your Kindness & Consideration You are appreciated!

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.”
