Customer Reviews

My toddler and I had a blast. She loved the characters and that the ball lit up. The course is difficult enough for teens and adults to also have fun with the darkness adding a unique challenge as well. It wasn't crowded like other places which was perfect for my 3 year old to take her time and really have fun. Will definitely be back for a date night.

My family wanted to get out of the house today. We decided to go play miniature golf. D&D Blacklight had a great 18 hole course with some challenging holes. We had a lot of fun. There is a bonus whole. If you hit the bullseye in one shot you win something. Not sure what that is since we were not able to hit the bullseye. They have a B-day party area, a small arcade, and a Lazer maze to walk through. For three people we paid $27 with a military discount. They also offer a discount for first responders. Prici

We have been here several times the last few years and we love the vibe! We hadd my daughter's birthday in the glow room last year and had a blast! They are constantly making upgrades and adding to the setup. Definitely worth the drive from Nashville!

This is a super fun place for my family. I have a preteen and two toddlers and they all enjoyed it. The artwork throughout the building is really fascinating and of course the glow in the dark feature is cool. The mini golf, laser maze, and the painting was super fun. They also had a cool arcade that we played in while we waited for our painted objects to dry. The bathrooms were very tidy and clean. The shift manager, Ashley T, is very friendly and loves interacting with the customers. She was very sweet wi

Our visit here was great. They had so many activities other than the mini golf and for amazing prices. The man working today was so nice and informative, unfortunately didn't get his name. He even offered to fog up the laser room to take fun pictures. Would highly recommend visiting here, fun for all ages:)

The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for my daughter's birthday. The atmosphere was clean and inviting. Plenty to do even if you or your kiddos didn't want to play the mini golf. Excellent job Keith and crew! Thank you all so much for making my baby girl's birthday party a huge success!!!! We will definitely be returning for parties as well as just a fun afternoon outing!

We had a lot of fun. It wasn't crowded but we did going during the week. The staff were all super nice and bonus it's inside so rain or shine you can do this. Would for sure do again.

So much fun! And worth it! Walking, I was thrown off by how dark it was. No doubt this is glow in the dark. Much more significant than glow bowling. I enjoyed it. With unsure expectations, I have a brain injury and epilepsy. It caused pain and vision issues, but I was able to sustain it. I would go back again despite my medical. The painting were fantastic ??

Honestly went there with a mindset of "this is gonna be boring" however it was very cool! The entire room was filled with blacklights which made the artwork pop. Tons of different courses with different skill levels. The place was clean and the man working was very polite and helpful.

Me and my wife came here while on vacation in Clarksville. We really enjoyed it. It was a fun little experience and was memorable. We both enjoyed looking at the DND style artwork while we were playing. Staff were friendly as well. I'd highly recommend this as a fun date for a couple or to take family and friends too.

5 kids 1 grandpa visit. Black light lovers ? this is a great place!! The 3D glasses make the golf a better experience!!! Kids didn't care for the glasses, but it was cool & trippy!!! VR took about 45 minutes to get going. Need to pick up boxes in VR room to avoid trip hazards. Arcade is small and some machines don't work, but still take your quarters. The lazer maze was cool. Except for the VR delay and tripping on a box, the kids had a great time. Ashley was a wonderful hostess and made certain o

My first time and I loved it.. get the 3D glasses ?? it makes to panting jump out at you.. #BaeCation his early Birthday gift 3/2

Have been wanting to go here for awhile and finally got to. We were all adults, youngest 19, and we enjoyed it. Even played a couple of games in the game room after doing the mini golf. The holes were challenging which made it fun even though the space it was in was smaller then an outdoor one. Will go back and do it again.

This experience was amazing. I had three children; 8,7,5. They all had a blast and each had their own ?favorite? thing. We did putt putt, laser maze, and VR. We even played the games in the arcade. The shift manager was extremely helpful, nice, and accommodated all our needs. We will definitely be back.

Awesome place for both kids and adults! Mini golf, virtual reality, arcade, glow in the dark pottery painting, and the woman who works there is super nice! Very awesome experience! Have gone twice now, will be returning in the future! ??

3.5 would be the most honest but I'm honestly rounding up. I like the fact this vision has been attempted at all, I just wanna see at least promises of intended growth plans. It looks like a half thought well intended vision. It's small but for the price it is fair, additional ideas like painting are half extressed, and could be more inventive. You'd be more incentivized possibly by having a black light stage room, for private events rather than the disappointment game room, with one un'enticing VR room. Ag

My son & I had such a great time mini golfing and doing the VR room. Ashley T. was awesome and so helpful explaining everything to us.

We enjoyed our visit and will come back again sometime!

Keith was FANTASTIC! We celebrated our son?s 6th Birthday party at D&D and it is the most ?EPIC? party we could have thrown for him?his words! D&D is easily unmatched!!! Keith was helpful, accommodating, and just truly rocked!! All of the kids/parents loved it & had a blast! Our family is truly grateful to D&D for the spectacular experience! We'll for sure be back! ??????

This is a hidden gem of fun things to do in Clarksville! We came in the middle of the day around 1 pm on a Thursday and it was empty and we had SO much fun. I've driven by here so many times and never gave it any thought. I'm not sure how older kids would love it but my 4 year old had a blast. My 1 year old didn't ?golf? but the bright colors and running around was definitely the most exciting thing he's ever seen. The course is challenging for those of any age. They also have figures you can paint with neo

We had so much fun! What a great way to spent a few family-friendly hours.

Awesome place to go for a rainy day, had a blast, 18 holes with a bonus at the end, almost all black lit and some very trippy paint schemes, they provide clubs and balls with price, lot of families with young kids there, game room in back

Fun place to spend a rainy day with kids or a date. Wear your vibrant colors and whites as everything is under black lights and it's all glowing. They also have Lazer Maze and an Arcade. Outside looks run down, but the inside looks fun.

We visited Clarksville to spend time with family and we brought our children. Very fun experience for the price and the gentleman Marco made our experience greater. Their quarter machine was out and they didn't have any cash to break bills. He used his OWN money to break our money for us and it allowed our kids to have fun in the arcade. Will be back in the future.

Building looks kinda sketchy, but the actual mini golf is really fun. There are 2 holes that are very fun.

All we played was the mini golf, but they do offer other activities inside. The mini golf is fun for a 30 minute time killer but not worth $20 plus for 2 adults.

Loud! Door on the side where someone walked in and out that wasn't the entrance. Dark when you first come in and the front desk it straight ahead. Golfing is in the bigger part of the building. There were plenty of 25? games, 2 pool tables, basketball and pinball. Two bathrooms, paint room and section for birthdays. Maybe more seating. Kids had fun!

It was a lot smaller than I thought it would be so this would not be my idea of a great birthday party location. But the artwork and decorations are so nice it's fun to take pictures of the experience.

Fun place, only that the second time we visited here (on Labor Day), the guy at the front desk seemed to be a bit rude toward us for no apparent reason (grumpy?). But the lady came after him was lovely and helpful. We did the package ($11/person for under 13 yrs; $13/person for 13 and older), which gave us the mini golf, laser maze, and balladium (ball blasters). Many equipments in the balladium need to be repaired, whatever functional was still fun to play.

Visiting from PA. We needed to do something to kill time, kids didn't want to hike, visit a cave or anything else so we chose to come here. It awesome that it's all inside, keeps you out of the heat. The 3D glasses make it extra trippy. ?? kids also loved the laser maize and balladium. Friendly staff to!

Daughter attended a 10 year old birthday party here yesterday. It looks a little sketchy on the outside and a little on the inside as well but it is a kids wonderland. Glow in the dark putt-putt course, laser hallway where you try to traverse the hall without touching the lasers, and an arcade. It's not the nicest looking place but the slew of children at the party had a blast.

Fun activity with a cool theme.

Loved it!! So fun and more challenging with 3-D glasses on than regular mini golf. Arcade room and laser room available too for extra cost.

We were visiting from out of town. This was a fun family friendly place to take our teens as a family outing. Fun had by all. Young woman at the counter was kind and helpful. Mini glow golf was a hit and murals around the course were so beautifully painted. Would recommend!!

Other than being a little hot inside, we had a good experience playing black light mini golf. A few holes at the end were frustrating. I thought it was a good course. The kids liked it. They also did the black light painting and got to bring their figure home.

It doesn't look like it from the outside but this place is one of the coolest places I've been since moving here last fall. SUPER friendly staff(thanks again Keith!) and amazing artwork. Went there for my birthday and had a great time.

Exact change or cashless at the front. The arcade- they have an ATM which is great. But they can't break a 20. Which I would have been gone with since there is a change machine. But the change machine was out of service. So you have to either walk in with a pocket full of quarters or leave and come back Golf is fun enough with nicely difficult holes. Laser maze is a boring joke. Vr is way overpriced. The sets smell like old dollar menu hamburgers and it just seems like very old technology. No great graphics

I don't generally write negative reviews, but this place deserves it. Very poor experience. We made reservations for virtual reality. Staff let walk in players into our slot and we were on time. No offer of a reduction of cost. Employee said she isn't notified of reservations?!??!! To refund our deposit we would have to call a manager, even though we were ON TIME. This was supposed to be a birthday party for our kids. Unless you want to be scammed out of your deposit avoid them.

It's a fun time! My girls enjoyed the games and mini golf. My daughter said it's a 5 star fun event for sure. This is def. a kid place, and the staff was nice. It's on the smaller side, but still fun!

Party package is amazing and price is much less than most other places!! 12 kids for under $200. They decorate, provide plates, napkins, cups, forks. Kids do mini golf and laser maze. Plus, arcade is very reasonable with most games $.25 and $50 versus other places being $1 or more per game! I was very impressed! Kids had a blast!

Miss Ashley T is super friendly and really wants everyone to have a good time. She is so sweet. Definitely recommend to go here.

I think it was neat, and it's indoors, so that's a nice way to get out of the summer heat. The 3 d glasses are pretty fun. It's too hard to keep score with kids and a small clip board. I just wished the employee had put his deodorant on cause he had funked up the small place. Overall worth going they have group rate and military discounts. There is a pool table in the back and some video and pinball games for 25 cents.

We hosted our son?s 5th birthday party at D&D, and the staff made experience very easy and stress-free. When we arrived, the room was already decorated, and the staff had provided some basic utensils to help facilitate eating. The kids were able to enjoy unlimited golfing and use of the laser room?which made entertaining easy.

My friend and I had a great time! We will definitely go back!

OMG We had so much fun! the boss was kind and helpful the gal who works there helped fi d me a place to nurse my baby. the adults had as much fun as the kids. and there's a bunch of stuff to do there. bonus it's all in A/C! Great way to beat this heat

Had a blast. Love that there's something for everyone to enjoy! Ashley T is amazing and very attentive. While I did the VR and she helped provide a wonderful experience while also setting up painting for my daughter and helping my husband have a great experience with my son with mini putt putt. We even did they Lazer Maze after we were all done which is a small experience but my son enjoyed it. Wouldn't recommend for older kids or adults. Probably 8 and below. Thank you Ashley T!

Came here for the first time today and was offered a tour. Everything was thoroughly explained to us and my family and I really enjoyed it! Will definitely be coming back. The manager who helped us was Ashley T., and she was so sweet and very helpful! You can tell she really enjoys her customers and her job!

We had so much fun here! The glow mini golf is a true favorite.

We love this place. They have an arcade and a little timed maze thing. Get the 3D glasses! No extra cost and it makes the game a little more difficult. If you're looking for something inexpensive and fun, this is it! Thanks so much! Plus they offer a military/first responders discount!

Ashley was such an amazing host and showed us around the place. I've been living here for 5 years and she's the first one who gave me a full tour. Such a bubbly friendly worker. Thank you Ashley for being so kind and patient with us. Riley was there as well getting customers checked in while we toured. Amazing job you two!

It's a quiet place with a deceptively challenging course at an incrediblely decent price. With friendly laid back workers. And don't get me started on the art. Let me just say, if you want to enjoy everything they have to offer; wear something you don't mind getting dirty. But if you wear UV reactive clothes it makes the experience so much better. 10/10 Date nights will be happening here quite often.

No idea who designed this place but something tells me they have never played D&D. It was literally just gnomes and unicorns with wings everywhere. Drove from Radcliff, KY to take my boyfriend here because he loves D&D. The black lights were at least cool.

False Advertising! Our birthday girl was excited to get here and play the 36+1 holes advertised on there website. We had bought out tickets ahead of time for the four of us to play golf and laser maze. We were confused when we ran out of golf to play after 18 holes. The other 8 holes you will play is "corn hole". But only if you ask for the bean bags. No thanks. The laser maze looked like something cool when the staff turned it on, it counts how many times you break the lazers before you get to the back

We always have a wonderful time there and the kids love going into laser room

Went today with the family and had a great time. The blacklights, painting, lasers, and cannons make for a unique experience. The staff are very friendly and accommodating.

Didn't get to do anything because we stood at the counter for 10 minutes, but no one ever showed up. We pushed the button to get associate to come but no one came. Very disappointed.

Shift manager Ashley T. Was an amazing host. She had amazing people skills and patience for our three little ones that came with us to play some mini golf, laser maze and paint. Painting and snacking was also fun and definitely enjoyed our time at the mini golf ?? Thank you, also forgot to mentioned but they have a nice little arcade which was fun as well. will definitely come again

With the 3D glasses in wow those paintings are insane! Pretty cool idea for mini golf. Clean bathroom and nice party room. And you massage chairs for the parents lol.

Marco was great super friendly and knowledgeable unlike Ashley from a few weeks ago! Not sure wether she was having a bad day or what but this time was amazing! Great place to take the kids to for some family fun!

The shift manager Ashley T was so warm and welcoming from the moment we stepped in the building. She doted on us the whole time and made sure we were having a fun. The golf itself is fun and challenging, and the black light aspect is very cool. Amazing experience, will absolutely be coming back

Really cool experience however we have came a handful of times and the kids are in and out in 30 minutes. I have 2 kids, and didn't play myself and it was 20.00.

Booked Birthday party online for 6. show up on time and staff had someone else in the VR space. Ignored for 30 minutes finally let us in the room, could only get 4 controllers working. Staff stated not their problem, nobody told them of the booking. Tried to call management number nobody would call back.

We had fun... Some holes were much harder then they looked. Loved the optical illusion stairs! Very good artistry. Will definitely go back.

My boyfriend and I absolutely loved this place it was perfect for a rain day while on vacation. The staff was friendly and it wasn't crowded at all but I could see why it would be.

Ashley T was an amazing host! She showed us around and walked us through the entire building giving us the most welcoming experience. She was patient and kind. Will definitely be coming back and telling all my friends about this place!

Had my daughter's birthday party there and definitely more than satisfied! The staff was super sweet, patient, and accommodating. The party room was spacious and clean, as was the rest of the facility; the staff was on point with sanitation!! Cool thing is even though we rented the party room for 2 hours, we didn't have to leave; we could stay and play at the arcade, and golf course. The music was good too! Thank you Keith and staff for a great experience!!! We will be back!! ??????

Fun for what it is. About $20 for two adults. You don't need to pay for 3D glasses. Some of the holes are actually kind of difficult. It takes about 20 minutes. Be mindful of when you go because it seems like a popular kids birthday destination.

Ashley was working the counter....she is amazing. She took us on a tour and spent a lot of time explaining all that D&D had to offer. My grandson and I had a lot of fun here.

Went for my birthday and had a really good time.

Best hidden gem I've found in a while. Super fun for a date night or a friend gathering. Went with my dnd group and had a blast. Wanna go again with my nieces so I can be the cool funcle (fun uncle). I highly recommend getting the 3d glasses it is a fun experience, staff were cool and chill as well.

This place was sooo much fun. The wife and I had a blast going through the mini golf course and the laser maze, but should make the maze more difficult lol.

Went for afternoon activity here. It is a fun and unique place to visit when your needing somewhere to go, especially on a hot afternoon. However, management needs to train the employees about what to do should their be possible injuries to a customer. Let me explain. As we were playing I hear a woman (older customer) scream and saw her trip over a piece of the frame. OTHER customers, not the 2 young ladies working, we're checking on the potentially injured customer. 1 worker was watching over the railing

We had a wonderful time playing mini golf and navigating the laser room today! Ashley T. was a wonderful hostess and answered all of our questions and showed us around, really making us feel warm and welcome! ??

It was fun, but there's not much to do. Arcade has a few games and claw machines. Small mini golf lanes and room. Laser room is okay but if you stay to the right you only need to walk over 4 lasers.

This place was awesome! Very artistic and just a fun experience!

Awesome experience! Staff was super friendly. We showed up, and didn't realize we needed a reservation and the lady in the front, let us in, with no problem at all. Her and Keith were very nice, and insured we had a great time. My boyfriend and I loved all 3 attractions; mini golf, the laser maze and Balladium. Such a cool place and definitely a hidden gem!

Super fun daytime activity for our family of five; kids age 8, 5, and 4. We are from out of town, so. Ashley T. was beyond polite and helpful with a tour and assistance for the kids favorite, VR room. Highly recommend!

Each hole was VERY small in area,, rude staff. We ask to do all activities and we're told that we could only do mini golf. So 10 dollars a person for a short course. Then someone else was doing laser maze and we ask to do it and was charged 3 more dollars. According to we site all 3 was supposed to be 11.49 per person. So dark you cannot even see to pay. Things broke in the arcade and when I told staff that 1 machine took my money, she said of course it did. I dont know why we have an arcade. No toilet pape

Fun glow in the dark mini golf. Great place to take kids!

I took my son here this week on his birthday. This place is open when city forum is not. Devin was working and made it such a wonderful experience for my son. Such a fun little mini golf place! Would definitely recommend. Couldn't have asked for better customer service. We will be back.

this place was really fun! The staff was nice, the place was clean. The place was fairly priced. We only tried the mini golf because one of the other things to do were down at the time. But it was still fun. Only downside is that I wish it was a little bit bigger, but I wouldn't mind going again

This place is pretty nice and cheap. The mini golf course is maintained well. The other activities there seem pretty fun as well. Although I didn't participate in the other activities, I did observe others.

Ashley T. was AMAZING!!!!! Wonderful spirit and personality. Extremely knowledgeable and you can tell she loves what she does. Thank you girly for your excellent customer service.

We had a great experience playing mini golf here! Ashley T was wonderful, very welcoming and very helpful, and definitely made the experience plenty more friendly and fun.

Affordable, and my kids had fun; that was about the only things we appreciated. The course didn't appear to well thought out, there wasn't a whole lot of thought or creativity put into each hole. 3 holes specifically had us shaking our heads as to what in the world the creators were thinking upon creating them. It took us a minute to realize where the front desk was as its not clearly marked in the dark(nor was there anyone tending it.) I get this is a family friendly venue- our kids were with us. But there

Super friendly staff, super fun course and laid back atmosphere. I loved the artwork, the layout and the general look of the room. Everything was in 3D and glowed in the dark. It was real fun to play around with our toddler too and not take anything seriously. It did have a DND vibe to it, except no D20's anywhere :( Definitely a fun little spot to check out if you are in the area!!!

Ashley T was really cool and she seemed to know everything about her job. Really good salesperson too was buying things left and right from her just nicely offering.

This was fun. It's not a huge place. The paint and wall graphics are cool. We spent $40 for 2 adults and 2 kids and that was just for the mini golf. The arcade only takes quarters and is not included in the admission. We only spent an hour there. It was a cool experience but I can't see going back there......there wasn't enough to do for the price.

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.”

Are pool tables in arcades still good in this modern age?

Yes, pool tables in arcades remain a fantastic draw in 2025! Games like 8-ball or 9-ball offer tactile, skill-based fun that blends strategy and precision. Modern tables feature smooth felt, responsive cues, and vibrant designs, enhancing the classic experience. Arcades foster a social vibe with casual matches or competitive tournaments, appealing to all skill levels. Unlike digital games, pool’s physicality—lining up shots, feeling the cue’s weight—keeps it timeless.

Are virtual reality games in arcades worth playing?

Yes, virtual reality (VR) games in arcades are a top attraction in 2025! Titles like Beat Saber and Half-Life: Alyx deliver immersive thrills with cutting-edge headsets, motion tracking, and responsive controllers. High-resolution displays and spatial audio create heart-pounding experiences, from slashing rhythms to battling zombies. Arcades feature multiplayer VR zones and tournaments, fostering lively communities. VR booths are regularly packed, proving their captivating, next-level gameplay makes them a must-try arcade experience.
