Customer Reviews

We absolutely loved this place!! We were visiting San Antonio on my son's 9 birthday and found this honey hole!! We spent several hours here and the whole family had a wonderful time. We will definitely be back. The prices were very reasonable and ALL of the staff was very friendly and helpful. God bless you all ??

Just had the best time of our lives at green acres! Merci at the front desk was super helpful arranging our fun pack for 3. Coincidentally, we met the best two at the track - they were so personable and it made the experience all the better! What's neat if when you go to a place where you feel when you come back, they'll remember you, treat you well and give that small town feel. Thanks to Levi, Kyle, merci and the guy that was passing out the min golf clubs! You won't be disappointed if they're working the

Great time for a date... Got a package raced go karts for a decent amount of time.. played two rounds of golf both us getting holes in one on different holes, and to cool down arcade inside which we got prizes ??

Came with friends and son. Low cost food and entertainment. Cheapest place to use go karts only spent $26 for a round of golf and for my son to race go kart

Went here for 1st time to celebrate grandaughters bday. Place was awesome big and very clean. Staff was very friendly. Our hostess was Jazzlyn. She did an awesome job. Will definetly be back. Tahnks Jazzlyn for awesome experience and to rest of green acres staff we had an awesome time...

Great family adventure. Slower pace and kind staff. We had a blast!

This is probably my new favorite place to take my kids. We came for my son's 10th birthday and we had so much fun. We were there for hours and still hadn't completed everything so there's definitely a lot to do. Food is pretty reasonable as well. The arcade was fun and even my older kiddos didn't get bored in there.

It was my first time coming to this place I have fun

Found this hidden gem through a Google search while in San Antonio for an event. My family and I had so much fun. What a great atmosphere and the prices are fantastic! Played mini golf, go karts, bumper boats, and the arcade. The food is really good and did I mention the prices are fantastic! They also have indoor paintball, batting cages, and water balloon fights. The employees were very kind and helpful. Overall a great ending to our trip and we will definitely return to this amazing establishment.

Absolutely loved it!!! I've been here a few times, and every time, it is 100% worth it. The mini golf area is clean and beautiful. Fun and easy for all ages! The go-kart area is an absolute blast! The arcade is an added pleasure for the end of the day.

We did the miniature golf red course, batting cages and go karts. The miniature golf was real fun. Nobody was out there while we were out there, so we could play at our own pace, especially as a party of five. So, that was nice. There's plenty of places to stand in shade while on the course. There are a few places to sit down as well. It's a very fun course, challenging enough to want to do again. The batting cages was very fun! We had a real good time at the cages. With varying levels of speed, height and

Cool hidden gem! Had a coupon on mini golf and my boyfriend and I had a great time on both courses. Young staff were so warm and welcoming. Grounds and bathrooms were very clean as well. Definitely would recommend!

What an awesome hidden gem! Travel about 42 minutes from far west, San Antonio. Upon arrival the staff show me the options available and guided me to the right package. I believe the staff name Breanna and she deserve 5 + stars. Price is perfect and inexpensive compare to the attractions in San Antonio. I did the go kart, mini golf and arcade. Worth the drive and plus it was clean.

Great experience! This location has two 18-hole courses and is extremely well-kept. Not all that challenging but it was fun to play at such a nice course.

This place was Alot of fun, looks small at first driving up to it, but it's Alot bigger once you're there. It has 2 18 hole put courses red and blue, each hole unique of course. It has a water course with little boats for if you feel like getting a little wet. It has batting cages and go-kart racing with a pretty sizable track and it also has a pretty good sized arcade. We went during spring break so of course it was going to be a bit more packed than usual, but this place has a really fun vibe and atmosphe

My son found this place online so we drove from San Antonio for my daughters belated birthday and had a great time. The prices were really good and the go karts were their favorite. Mini Golf was nice appearance and the bumper boats were cute. Overall had a great time with my children here and look forward to coming again.

The owner of this place was causing problems with me not letting me do paintball because i just turned 18 today and he didn't believe me because I didn't have an id, my parents even did a signature for a waiver and he still didn't believe it, instead he kept saying i wrote it myself after I showed text messages proof between me and my mom of me asking her to sign it and email it. I was being treated unfair and I won't tolerate it it's very rude and unpleasant/ unprofessional. I'm not satisfied these staff a

So much fun! Employees were friendly and the place seemed clean and well maintained. We played the east mini golf course at night and enjoyed it. The course was fun and had just the right amount of challenge, fun water features and beautiful landscaping (although if played during the day, the Texas heat would still getcha). We didn't have time to try the west course or the other attractions (go karts, bumper boats, etc.) but we'll definitely be back!

I went twice. The first time was actually a great experience, and it was super fun. When i went back for a second time, it was a little bit more crowded, which we later realized made it unenjoyable. The go cart line was about an hour and a half long! We were also told we had to be 18 to do the water bumper carts, which did not make sense. And the mini golf is fun, but nothing to brag about. Almost no shade, and pretty boring.

Very Fun place to spend the day with the family/friends or even a date. It has several activities to do (such as mini golf, go karts, arcades, etc...). The prices are very accessible compared to other mini golfs in San Antonio. We enjoyed it a lot.

Awesome place to go have fun with the family. We had so much fun in all the attractions. Staff is really friendly and helpful.

Pros: Well priced, staff was polite. Variety of activities to keep all ages entertained. Con: The arcade games were old.

I would have given this place a 5-star but I had only two issues while attending. The go-cart section has this crazy rule that you can go up to 3 times back to back if you are in the seat. Which is unfair to the customers waiting with other children. I can understand 2x but 3x no way. Next, some games were taking my money I raised attention to it but no one helped had to find the manager to assist me. Other than that we all had an amazing time I will definitely go back.

This place is so amazing, everyone is so nice and hopefully. My kids had so much fun. We are definitely going again.

Took my son here for his classmates 14th birthday and had a blast. We come here a few times a year and it's always great family fun. Love the Go Karts, Arcade games, Put Put Golf, Paint Ball, Batting Cages and Water Wars.. this place has yet to disappoint. Will definitely be back.. the prices are good too.. u can even build your own package and they have Party Packages too.. Awesome Family Fun #GreenAcres#

We have been wanting to check this place out. The commercials I've seen made it seemed really big. I was disappointed it was small. The golf was fun. The water bumper boats were okay. They were old and the buttons and wheel would get stuck trying to turn or spray water. My son loved the go carts. He said it was fast. We waited about 45mins or so for the trampoline thing since there was a party in front of us. My kids loved the water balloon fight but sux you only get like 5 balloons. We didn't do the paintb

I found a token to this place at Peter Piper Pizza, I was ecstatic to find out that Green Acres is still very much alive and uses tokens too! From redemption arcade games, racers and a few shooters. Go karts and mini golf, this place is small but mighty in family fun for the day. This place reminds me of Malibu Castle when it was around, but the fact that they are keeping arcades alive that use tokens excites me.

Had a good time!! Old school fun with nothing around?? We will for sure make the trip back. It's like 40 min from us but that's ok! Fun drive. GoKarts were definitely where it's at. We definitely should have gotten the family pack deal. Next time though.

Boyfriend & i went it's super cute for couples and they have specials. It's nice if you go on a weekday when it's superrr dead we got the whole place to ourselves, service is great but sadly most of the games in the arcade are broken :(

Wonderful place, very clean. A goof place to hace fun and spend time with family. Has a variety of things to choose from. Places to play inside and outside.

This place is great and very cheap, if you have children and you want to get them out of the house for a few hours or the day, there is plenty to do here. They have 2 courses of mini golf (beware water traps), bumper boats, go carts (now I want one), batting cages, paintball and an arcade. The prices are very cheap and fair. They have a small caf? where you can order pizza (looked better than dominos), nachos, etc. If you dont believe me please go to their website and check out their prices.

We were waiting in line and it was a long line to begin with. This family just walks in front of us when we were next to the cashier. Instead of cashier telling that family anything my husband did and the worker still took them first. We were very irritated and unsatisfied we left. We've been there before and never had any issues. Employee was wrong for doing what she did.

This place is really great. If you're in San Antonio and cant decide what to do this place has everything! Lots of different stuff to do, Great customer service (shout out to Zoey and her amazing customer service) we went to sea world the day before and I'm positive the kids had just as much fun. Definitely going to make this a family tradition when we come up for weekends. Amazing place for the kiddos

Been coming here for years. Family loves this place & the staff is excellent! We will always support you, Green Acres!

I've been here twice. The activities are fun I 9 and 13 year old daughters loved it.

Love that this family fun location is still around Many close down but you guys are still rocking. Used to come here like 9 years ago and it's still fun Clean rr The whole place is neat Love all the options Great for parties. And puppy love dates! Lol Omg and they have coffee latte

Staff has amazing customer service. Place is very clean. The environment is family friendly.

Fun place overall. Needs a little maintenance work and could use a better check out system since the lines were always long but still a fun experience

Awesome time.. great staff.. decent prices. Go Cart track was pretty fun!!!

This was the most fun I've had this moth 5 stars they gave us 10 extra minutes of go carts thank you Levi and Kyle ????????

We just had my daughter?s birthday party at Green Acres. I cannot express how absolutely amazing our party helper was! Violet handled everything so well and made our experience better than I could have imagined. All the kids had a great time. I'm extremely grateful for everything she did to make my daughter?s special day perfect in every way.

Amazing love this place been here so many times love it saff is loving and kind good with kids my kids love it

Great place to bring the kids to play! Many many games to play without robbing your wallet! The pizza is sooo good ??

Had my sons birthday here with his friends. The staff was very helpful and kind. Priced affordably too.

Soooo much fun! The place was beautiful and clean. The employees were sweet and very thoughtful, we were having a hard time deciding what we wanted to do,and the girl came up with the perfect package! We definitely look forward to going back!

Not my first visit, but Awesome as always. A good cheeseburger as well.

This place is a hidden gem just a small drive outside of San Antonio, my family had a great experience just with the mini golf. We did not try their dining nor any other attractions, however everything looked well organized and inviting. We will definitely be coming back.

It was a great course, the trees give it some shade! It was best to go earlier, the bumper boats were fun, and the water war game. Was worth it! The nachos had a funky taste, the food wasn't the best, but not the worst for the price.

We went again. This time we took our son. Different band playing. Very beautiful day.

Great fun! Awesome staff. Everyone was super helpful and awesome.

Absolutely great clean fun outdoor activities here. The staff was great and friendly and the go carts was our highlight of the evening. Will come back for more fun.

Fun course but many of the holes are not level so the ball makes some unexpected rolls.

Reasonable, staff very friendly. Fun place to take your family

The mini golf was fun, but simple. The arcade is small, but has a good mix of games. A couple weren't working correctly or were out of tickets, so watch out for that and don't keep putting tokens in if it's not doing what is expected. Let the staff know, they were responsive and helpful. The go karts are fun, you get a good amount of time to drive. Some of the karts are definitely faster than others. All in all we had a fun time and would go back again.

Fun... Just a lack of other people there that Saturday... Hard to have a good time at paintball with 3 people

We had a blast our church guys enjoyed the food and the prices

Great first experience today! Such a wide variety of activities for kids to do. We enjoyed mini golf, go karts, and arcade games. Everyone working there was kind and I constantly saw someone working to keep the main inside area clean. The young lady with short, blonde hair was especially kind and helpful. Oh and the pizza was great! Highly recommend.

We took our son today for his 7th birthday and the food was great the games were fun. We spent more then 300.00 dollars and as we were leaving the go cart section a worker started disrespecting my husband in front of all of our kids. He was very unprofessional and rude! My 7 year old son was getting scared. As we are leaving another worker started telling my husband things again. This is not the experience we wanted to have today. Again, very unprofessional and a huge waste of time and money. I can't believ

We did both mini golf courses, go karts, and bumper boats, with some game at an fairly affordable price. We enjoyed ourselves.

I had an overall good time. The golf courses were very simple but fun to play for a beginner. I bought the fun pack which includes a ticket to the go-kart racing, bumper boats, ?water wars,? and 20 tokens for the arcade. Most of these attractions were serviceable, but I would skip the arcade. A lot of the games I played were broken in some way (it was the first time i?ve seen an arcade cabinet have major lag), and sometimes the machines failed to register your tokens. Another problem I have with the establi

The girl cashiers had an attitude problem . The guys who ran the go Karts were helpful and patient when explaining the rules and procedures.

Great staff.. very attentive. Had a great time. Visiting from Corpus Christi.

The miniature golf area is so fun! The atmosphere outside is so nice. They have an arcade area and a snack bar too. We really enjoyed the go karts! Super fun! There is also paintball and water boats.

We always have a great time here, prices are reasonable, area is clean, staff is very friendly and there are several options for everyone to choose from.

Had lots of fun on mini golf course with my younger children. Lots of amusements for older children and adults (bumper boats, go karts, batting cages). Only complaint was regarding the rude behavior shown by the teenage girls working at the front counter. The two young ladies were playing ?not me? and were trying to avoid helping my two toddlers pick out a few prizes (we're talking like a tootsie roll and army man each) ??

I loved it! Me and my family would definitely come back.

We always have a good time here! I have 2 seniors, 2 adults, and 2 children.

Great place to take the family for the day, had fun with my wife and granddaughter at the batting cage, got rained out before the go cart ride. Will definitely be back. Still a great place for family fun, took our grandkids and they had a blast.

We had a good time with the kids. We were able to do go karts, miniature golf, bumper boats, and arcades. A lot of th arcades were not working, but the hostess refunded us for every arcade that didn't work. Will definitely be back.

We were on our way home stopped to have some mini golf. Asked the girl if we could play golf. She said sorry we open at 1. But we are having a big event. Someone needs to show her customer service. She didn't explain what that means. Kinda made us feel like leave we are gonna be busy. Won't come back. Too bad From disappointment stored????????

We had the best time with the whole family! From the youngest to the oldest, everyone had a lot of fun!! Thank you for a great time. Also a big thank you to the staff they were amazing!

Very cool place was my first time going and it was super fun

Went as guests for a birthday party. They have excellent working go-karts, a nice bumper water boat section, and the two mini golf courses are very clean. Plenty of places to take photos. The arcade area is a little small though and the indoor dining section is small as well. There is a larger area outside to eat but in the summer...forget it!! Too hot even for mini golf. Decent prices and combo deals for attractions and food is tasty. I highly recommend it. If you have a birthday party and don't want to d

Well-maintained and friendly staff. Great for the family!

Today was our first time going, we had so much fun!! Especially loved the water bumper and water blaster. Very unique attractions and great prices. Can't wait to go back!

Took my son for his birthday, and he loved it!!!

Me and my son love going to play the arcade games here sometimes we have a hard time with some of the games they take our tokens and usually we have to go let someone know if they can replace our tokens we lost they take forever just to do that cause they have to go try and fix the game. And another variety of prizes would be nice I think my son owns every prize their

Celebrated Father's day here and it was great. Kids had a blast, and I really enjoyed the batting cages. Very friendly service made it that much better.

I tried scheduling a special event here after hours. I spoke to them several times leading up to my event, and was assured that prices would be pseudo reasonable and per person. However, when it came to crunch time, they came back with a price of 1000$ per hour. Pretty bummed, as that is a insane price imho.

WATCH your step!! Very nice newly discovered, well kept mini golf, nice layout with beautiful real live plant landscape. Nicely priced at $8 per person for mini golf. Did not try the other attractions like bumper boats and go karts but they look fun. ** I would be aware of hole #5 there is an oddly placed "sandtrap" on the left that slopes to the side at the beginning of the hole. An adult in our group lost her balance not noticing the slope and twisted her foot trying to catch herself then landed hard on

Came here with my family and we had a blast. They're prices are reasonable and there's so much to do. We basically spent the whole day there. The staff was very helpful and friendly, I would like to give a special shoutout to Logan H., who was very kind and friendly.

Seth and Garret made our time so much fun! The mini cart was awesome because of them!

Great selection of indoor and outdoor games. My kids love coming here and always ask when we'll be going again. Affordable packages and lots of snacks, food, and drinks available. Machines offer tickets that can be exchanged for prizes. Friendly and helpful staff. Awesome go-kart track. Great value for the money. If you're in the area, this place is a must.

Food and service were great. I highly recommend the pizza, it was delicious. There were plenty of activities for everyone. The only reason they did not receive 5 stars, was due to the number of arcade machines down. It was just a lil too hot to be outside the whole time, but there weren't enough playable arcade games inside. If you're looking for a place for a kid's Birthday party, this is recommended.

We had so much fun for a department team building here. Affordable and entertaining. We only played mini golf, though.

My baby, niece and nephew had a blast, first time visiting and wont be the last one

It's great and fun for the price. I just wish they would update it

Not that crowded, the arcade is not loud or as overwhelming as some places, and they use actual tokens for games, which I think is old school cool.

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! 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.
