We decided to take my son here as a last day of school treat. The staff were so friendly to us and my son. My son kept telling the manager how much he enjoyed the go karts and let us take another ride for free! When he asked her if she could gold onto his prizes while he went she didn't hesitate to help him. Would for surely go back here again. Yes, there were some kinks but they have just recently underwent new management so please be patient and kind to them!
My son's 10th birthday fell on a Tuesday, it wasn't packed at all which leads me to say the weekdays are the time to go! We all had a blast especially the birthday boy on the go carts. He feels like he's ready for his license now?? The staff were awesome and attentive, the good was delicious and prepared fresh. Thank you for helping to make his day memorable.
Overall the place is very ran down. Mini golf course needs help.. there are no bumper boats.. half the arcade games were broken.. you don't receive the tickets ?won?. Only giving two stars because the staff was friendly and helpful. Would never return again, waste of time and money.
It's no wonder this place is always empty. Their batting cages are down for upgrades and because there is a bird nest in one of them. It is Baseball/Softball season and they are the only cages in Saginaw. This is very poor management. They were cleaning the bounce houses with soap and water so they were not useable, during business hours. They don't have the correct color flags for the go cart track. Very confusing when you see a yellow flag for the last lap, when yellow means caution. The bumper boat
We brought our grandsons here and had lots of fun! We did the go carts and putt putt. Fun!!! Brandi was so generous and kind. The food was good and reasonably priced. A fun time was had by all! We will be back!
Great place to spend some time having fun with the kids that doesn't involve a phone. And for the arcade and Lazer tag Brandi was super helpful showing us how everything worked.
Great fun had by all. Maintenance needed, but If you look past that you can have a lot of fun with the family in an afternoon here. The young adults were very good at their jobs. Explained everything to us thoroughly.
What a waste of time and money. Kokomos used to be alot of fun. Now it's a dilapidated safety hazard. No maintence is done and the boards on the bridges are rotting out. There's no water in the putt putt area anymore so you can't even play all the holes anymore. Won't be coming back. We will stick to Gimmicks in midland. That place is super clean and meticulously maintained with an awesome restaurant.
We played putt putt golf, a very nice course with waterfalls, we can't wait to come here in the summertime! Eli was super cool and professional. Thank you again
Had an amazing time here teaching my uncle how to drive go karts . service was great food was fresh no complaints at all staff helped a lot I think go karts work good and good food definitely recommended
The kids had a blast on the go karts, but the monitor for the laser tag was broken or something because after they were done no one could tell who had the most hits. A few of the arcade games were down as well as the batting cages and I thought there was supposed to be a roller coaster? The place is in need of some TLC from an investor to bring back its former glory, but aside from that they had a pretty good time.
It is great to see effort put into this facility. My son and I spent the afternoon having fun on the go-karts, bumper boats, laser tag and putt putt.
Had such a great time!!! Eli was so accommodating!!
I had a blast! The go kart races were so much fun & the workers were all so kind. 10/10
It is definitely bots leaving the 5 star reviews. There is absolutely no way this place would get one. It was really sad to see how bad this place was.
I decided to search for some entertainment with the kids, while traveling. We did the mini golf. If was $30 for 4 of us. We really didn't get to enjoy all of it. Some holes you needed the water from their stream to carry the golf ball down and it was dried up. Also where you place your ball to start at each hole moved around and the carpet was tore up. I understand its outside and probably have a lot of wear and tear. I didn't think it was worth the money. We didn't stay to check out their other attracti
We had a lovely time as a family here as a family! Brandi was super helpful and made sure we had a great time
I went here on Saturday night & spent $40 when I only wanted to put $30 on a game card but the cashier didn't listen and put the full $40 on instead of giving change, I decided we'd just play some games because she loaded the card and walked away, half of the games didn't work & they were very limited game choices & out of date. It was only me and my boyfriend there, staff was back in a room entire time I didn't even get to get a ?prize? with my tickets from their few choices because the staff was not arou
They sucked the fun out of this place. The arcade is half the size it used to be. They completely removed the arcade redemption counter and replaced it with a vending machine system with literally like 10 cheap prizes from the dollar store. They removed all the decor from inside and made it look like a pub. Went Friday night and we were the only people there! They also removed the golf dome, roller coaster and about 80% of the go karts. I don't foresee them staying in business once the cool weather hits as
Great time with my friends, staff was very understanding and accommodating. Go Karts go a good speed, laser tag was small, but we made it work. Food was decent, good enough for us! Definitely worth the money! Just make sure to be respectful!
We drove a hour and 30 mins out of our way to come here for the go carts and games. Staff is great and friendly. Hope I think possibly the manager was extremely helpful when EVERY GAME we played was broken and refunded the tokens for the games we didn't get to play. Was not very fun in fact. You guys need to get some maintenance down here to fix these games.
The customer service was excellent the staff was very helpful and friendly we definitely will be booking there again very soon a very special thanks to ELI
Booked a birthday event for 10. Included 3 pizzas, wings, and unlimited soft drinks. Brought our own cake and ice cream. $300 for the party of 10 with private room. Fryer was down so no chicken wings but we received extra pizza which was ok with us. The pizza was great. There is no vegan food except Caesar salad and was told can't bring outside food due to bringing in outside contamination so my girl had to starve until we left??. There was only one double go kart so I had to take all the younger kids on a
Staff was courteous and helpful. I had a little trouble with the prize machine but overall a fun experience.
The absolute dirtiest establishment I have seen. It's almost like they literally do not clean absolutely anything.
Had a great time, Eli was very nice and helpful. Good ducked off place to have fun!
So fun! The batting cages were closed but they let us go on go carts for a while! Love the arcade and laser tag! Great place for family night!
Over priced , credits for the games are ridiculous . My kids blew through $50 in 10 mins because all the games were $6. Prizes are even more of a scam . Go carts were okay only had 4 running carts and 1 double so it took forever and staff didn't seem to care . Will never go back . Used to be a fun place but they can't seem to stay open . It went way downhill.
Purchased 2 all day wrist bands for $39.99, which you have to do online, then take your phone to the counter so the clerk can give you a wrist band. Then, all we could do was ride Go-Carts and play mini-golf. The bounce house was down, laser tag was down. The water in the bumper boats was DISGUSTING, so we did chose not to do the boats. They didn't tell us everything was down when we got here, and they KNEW we were getting all day wrist bands. Awful experience. Definitely NOT worth $82.68. But good luck get
Brandi is such a sweet and amazing person I had so much fun
Mini Golf course was really nice, waterfalls and hole where you actually put through the stream. Bumper boats, go-carts, batting cars, laser tag. Tons of video games. Fun place! Staff was friendly.
Kokomos was great. The staff were super great! Pizza was really good. I can even handle the little coaster. Love the go carts best. Great for kids and they sell wine...lol
Nice arcade! Fun time for all ages. Expensive on the other activities. Delicious rootbeer cocktail!
My grandson really enjoyed himself ?? even tho' he was cheating on the golf course ??
We took a school group and it was very well organized.
We were there for a birthday this weekend and met the new owner -- who just bought the business this week! They have done a TON of work to get the games working, the building cleaned up, and the room rearranged more functionally. The owner and employees were all kind, helpful, and friendly. The food was tasty. We especially enjoyed the pizza and mozzarella sticks -- be aware, portions are big! If you haven't been recently, or if you had a bad experience, give them another try. We were planning to spend a co
So it's under new ownership now and wow the new management really changed things around in a few days!! The whole arcade gaming was all changed around and they fixed all the games. Their menu for the restaurant now is much more simple and the food was delicious. Pizza was the bomb!! First time I ever seen the water features working outside and finally got the double seater go karts for me and my kids to enjoy! Batting cages are up and running! I'm so happy the neighborhood amusement park is in order like it
Eli and the staff are great!! The place is fun and super clean!
I loved the after dark event so much! Only $10 got almost two hours of arcade games, bumper boats, put put and go karts (didn't get to check out the laser tag sadly). Some of the games were a little janky, but the staff was fun and helpful. I had a blast with my family and some friends. I would definitely go to another adult only after dark event and even be willing to pay more for it to go later. Would love to come back with a bigger group next time and will be on the look out for the next after dark adult
Kids had a Great time. They played for 2 hours for $25 but you have to purchase the pass online to get that price. You can ride the rides as many times as you like same thing with the games. You don't get tickets for playing and winning things but who really needs anymore stuff anyway. Kids like the laser tag as well. Overall great time had by all.
Absolutely fantastic!! They have new owners and they went above and beyond for our family to have a great day!! Food was great and my kids won so many tickets!! If there was any issue they right away fixed it! We went to cart racing and my kids had an absolute blast!! Highly recommend they really turned this place around. Kids had such a great time!!
The best place I've ever been in my life service is amazing love this place
Had my daughters 10th birthday there this last weekend and let me just say, I grew up coming to this place things were always broke BUT the new owner that just took over is really turning it around, the pizza were good, the games were great, almost all the attractions were running and if there was a glitch they made up for it with extra play time for other working attractions. This new guy is really fixing the place up so if you haven't been in a while you need to stop in.
Our daughters often choose this place as the destination for celebrations and birthdays. They even like the prizes.
Was very excited to see that it was under new management and was hoping that things had gotten better. I was very wrong. Half the games were out of order, or would not give you the right amount of tickets you won. The prize machine was pretty well empty with very few choices. The lawn was incredibly long surrounding the golf course and made it look trashy. The go karts didn't run very well and there was only one that even had speed to it. The batting cages barley ran and spit out balls. Was a very disappoin
I brought my son for his birthday and it was a legit waste of money but I'm glad he had fun. I'd rather go to chuck e cheese. For starters the summer pass said all games and attractions were unlimited for 2hrs and I wasted $75 on 3 of the passes when that wasn't at all true plus u get no tickets from the pass but it didn't state that online or else I wouldn't of got them. Over half the games don't work, batting cage isn't open, Go-Karts don't work, the bumper boats weren't working, laser tag wasn't working
Wonderful time fornstep daughters birthday party. Only suggestion would be for winter give kids more tokens and maybe one attraction as the only thing Robson is laser tag in the cold.
We came here for my neice's bday. We had the absolute best time, our kids were chased by the haunted characters, we literally shut the haunted house down!! We did go karts, batting cages the haunted house and more. The food was really good and the staff was amazing!! We're from Detroit but we'll definitely make the drive to come back. I 100 percent approve The Fun Way!! Thank you for some amazing memories
Great customer service food was fresh and the staff was incredible
The people who work here are excellent, however that's the end of the good. The batting cages were all down, the laser tag vests were broken, there was only two bumper boats open, only one go cart (#3) had any speed and the arcade was limited. I'd say this place will need a lot of work to make it worth the cost.
Absolutely one of the friendliest places I've been too recently.
The place it's self is looking good compared to the last company. But the go karts are terrible! The speeds are so inconsistent, some are seemingly ungoverned and can go as fast as they want. Others, are super slow and have seemingly no grip.
This place is NOT kid friendly! The music they had playing was extremely inappropriate, seemed like every other word was a swear word. Half the games didn't work, however they had no problem taking the tokens off my card. Waterfall didn't work on the putt putt gulf rendering a few holes pointless. Huge disappointment and even bigger waste of money. Worst 100 bucks I've ever spent trying to give my daughter a memorable day. We have memories, just not the ones I was trying to make. Please don't do this to yo
Had a wonderful time on our visit! Everything was clean and we couldn't have asked for better care and customer service. Thank y'all so much for making our family's "Fun Day" one of the best!!!
Saw all of the pictures online and it looked really nice and fun. The mini golf was reasonably priced, and the course was interesting/challenging, but the pictures online are NOT accurate to its current state. It is 90% rocks aside from all the weeds and 2-3 plants left, the water features are 85% gone, the river parts of the water features have been filled in with rocks and mulch, even the holes that spit your balls out to other parts of the green were filled in. But, overall, the mini golf portion of the
We only played $10 worth of games and we got enough tickets to get a few prizes. The place was clean and the staff was friendly
We took the grandkids today. When we pulled into the parking lot weeds all over the place. Dilapidated fences. We got inside it looked nice. Employees very helpful. We had a party of 5. Only three bumper boats functioning. The water in the bumper boat pool had a bunch of dirt on the bottom. No water on the putt putt greens. Also weeds and garbage everywhere . Then took me 20 minutes to get 1 hotdog. There is more. I've rambled on long enough. This could be a really nice place. It needs thousands of dollars
Awesome time! Friendly people! Clean environment!
Not quite what it used to be in terms of excitement but it's still a fun place to go and make memories. Go carts, mini golf, lazer tag, etc fun for all ages.
Took a group there for my daughter's birthday and had the best time ever! The staff was so welcoming and accommodating and you can't beat the price. We definitely recommend and will be back soon!
This place is awesome! At first I was a little disappointed because online it said the roller-coaster and the bungee jumping was closed which we were fine with because we mostly came for the laser tag for my son's birthday. When we got there though they said the laser tag was closed so my son said he would do batting cages. That also was closed. I think they were short staffed because after about an hour after being there both attractions were open. So we did end up doing the laser tags also after we did th
Still as fun as was when I was a kid. Bright my kiddos for their birthday and they loved every minute. Staff is very friendly and makes the attractions more fun.
Kids had a blast. It was a good package worth the price. only downside was there was no personalized games, the room was not really personalized and neither was the table. I seen others there at the same time and after us have more put into it than ours. The pizza is small, definitely not a large, only serve small cups of ice cream for the kids. Our party planner was attentive though.
We had a terrible experience, food took over an hour to be made and brought to us , there was only a few staff , they were not very accommodating, at some point they stopped accepting debit / credit cards to buy arcade cards and never told anyone or posted any signs. We ended up leaving before they even brought out the rest of our food. Limited selection on food items. And what we did get was bland , and basic and pricey overall. Seems like they could use some more staff on a Saturday afternoon.
NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE ... I've always been a big fan of this place but they've removed attractions and it's falling into disrepair vs. what it was in the past. Golf dome - gone Roller coaster - gone Batting cages - closed Water balloon slingshot - gone Mini golf waterfall - dry No soap in the bathrooms Slushy machine down Ice cream machine down Only four attraction options today. Mini golf, laser tag, bumper boats, and go karts. I used to come here and wish bringing my kids back was better. I'm honestly
I hadn't been since they were Kokomo's, but it seems to have gone downhill. The bumper boats boats only had 2 working, several laser tag vests didn't work for my son. Definitely seems maintenance isn't a top priority.
Birthday Party No! spent over $500 & our 1st pizza came out at 430 our 3rd pizza didnt come out till about 515 so the kids couldn't all eat at the sametime. Our party host talked to us at the start of the party & we never saw her again. We had to go up & ask for the cards for the kids to play & again when i remembered the kids we're supposed to be getting endless drinks. Then found out I HAD to pay a $40 gratuity ??
Not a place to host a birthday party, only a place to get the kids out of the house for some fun. Pizza tastes horrible and the time management is awful. 0/10 don't recommend wasting money on a party, better to spend the money on the attractions and arcade specifically. We specifically communicated the expectations of our party, and they were told to keep the room miscolored against our wishes, causing stress to both parties working and hosting. Leadership has little to no accountability and setting up low
I took my daughter for her birthday and we had a blast!!! The hunted house was great. The owner took great care of use gave us a great deal. I will be visiting his other locations!
Love going here was not bad on price and lots of fun. Was disappointing that the batting cages were closed.
I decided to bring my son and his friends here for his birthday. We purchased the deal online for $25 with upgrade. Was disappointed to arrive and see half the games were out of order. Lazer tag was ok but a couple kids sets were not working. The kids couldn't do bumper boats together due to multiple boats not working. While the kids were riding go karts there was a small crash into the wall. The guy out in the middle that was suppose to be watching them was to busy looking at the ground. After yelling to g
A+ to the staff they worked hard though. The bathrooms were clean ?? Worst $170 (family special) ever spent. Food (pizza) burnt and served to our table in that manner. Offered to remake pizza's was a kind gesture however second round was over cooked. By that point the kids were so hungry they had to eat something. Out door tables are badly weathered to the point that there unsafe to sit on the potential for wood slivers very high. What rides they have left are in bad repair. Go carts we're ok but only one
I am glad to hear there is a new owner. This place really needs updating. Only 4 of the water boats worked, so not everyone in our group got to use them. The mini golf course was in horrible shape. Evidently a pipe had burst sometime earlier. There was no running water in any of the holes, just dried up cement gullies. Tons of dead bushes pulled out and left all over the place. It was a mess. Also needs some kind of shade trees on the course. It was a very hot day with no relief from the sun. Could be more
Best experience and service with Brandi and Helen thank you
Terrible. Should not be open. Dangerous. Putt putt - stones all over the greens, half the holes plugged, bridge with broken boards. Half the water features are filled with mulch or gone completely. Little water they have is black and full of bugs. Holes don't tell you par. No one outside to help. Not worth $8 ea. Another mother was complaining about not enough bumper boats that work. Nothing maintained. No wonder it's empty.
Expensive compared to the usual place I take my son (Chuck E. Cheese) but it was packed so we tried Kokomo's instead. We were the only customers in there, which was great for my rambunctious 3 year old. Inside was clean, the games were all in working order, and very big/flashy. My son had a blast and the prize options were a lot better than the other place. Just wish it was a little less expensive; most games were $1 per play versus $0.25.
Kids and I had so much fun! They loved everything in there!
My kids loved it. We played miniature golf and frequented the arcade, our pizza took about 20-30 minutes but it was good. Friendly staff, clean, spacious. We will go again!
We have come here once a year the past four years for a school event. Tonight the weather was perfect and we had so much fun. The staff is really friendly. The lady working in the food part even opened back up to get me ice cream! I love the roller coaster and go carts... Definitely the main attractions. I will continue to come in the future for sure.
Definitely not what it used to be!! I think I speak for most when I say we miss Kokomos. EVERY attraction outside needs updates asap. Food and drinks are expensive and not worth it. Party package prices are ridiculous and also not worth it. The game roon is very small, and half the games don't work. Also, the prize machine runs out of prizes and glitches constantly. Just not what it was, and we're definitely not going back.
We went to go play putt putt and it was a bad experience. To start there were 3 workers at the counter and one was ringing us in. The phone rang and the worker who was helping us answered the phone instead of continuing to check us out. While the other ones just stood there. And it happened twice with the phone calls. The putt putt course itself was not good.There was trash everywhere and in the way. The weeds were extremely overgrown and it looks like no one has been designated to do anything with it. The
This place is run down and in need of repair. With the right management it has some potential. Half the arcade games didn't read the game cards. The staff made it pretty clear they don't care about working there. The put put course was in such bad shape the greens were coming off and flapping in the wind. The bumper boats weren't operational because of a turtle... We will not be returning and suggest you just go to Chuck E Cheese, it's more than likely cleaner and you will probably have a better experience.
The new owner is really trying his best to turn this place around and keep it going. Doing a pretty good job so far. Staff were friendly, food was pretty good. Give this place a chance so we have something local to do as a family.
The new owners that just took over this week made a quick turn around on the place, everything is up and running Batting cages ,go karts, arcades... Wow what one weekend was and now amazing staff and great place, new owner takes time to hear your thoughts on the place, which I thought was very nice, will come back again!!
The worst ?refinished? business I have ever been too. Small amount of arcade games and most of them don't work. Very expensive to play and prizes cost a fortune if you can access the prizes because that machine is broken too. Putt putt golf area is unkept, weeds and tall grass and trash everywhere. $2.50 for a bottled water + tax. Will never go back.
Good arcade but a lot of the games were out of order.
I have been coming to Kokomo's for the past couple years and every trip here I always have a blast. Last year I started bringing my 2yr daughter and she loves it. She loves to play all the games. The food is very good especially the pizza. I'll be having my daughters 3rd birthday party here in March and she cant wait.
Better then last visit! Last visit bathrooms stunk n dirty and no drinks or food offered not even water available. Go kart guy was rude. Putt putt seems worn down. Greens are ripping apart. But this time was great! Go kart guys were nice!!! Attendant was helpful n assisting me n my kids. Was such a wonderful evening. ? Thank you!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
