Super awesome. There were bumper boats that sprayed water that lasted like 5 whole minutes, ice cream, go karts, cotton candy machine (it didn't make the designs perfectly but tasted really good), laser tag (which I didn't do), bumper karts, and arcade games. All the workers seemed very approachable. The arcade games were pretty basic but still fun. Overall enjoyable experience!
Our family had a good time here, particularly my four year-old son, but there are definitely things that are worn down and I'm not sure if it is worth the cost for some of the attractions
Lokomotion Family Fun Park is an absolute gem! It's the perfect place for family fun, with a wide variety of activities to keep everyone entertained. From go-karts and mini-golf to arcade games and laser tag, there's truly something for all ages. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure every guest has a fantastic experience. Whether you're planning a birthday party, a group outing, or just a fun day with the family, Lokomotion is the place to be. Highly re
Buckle up, folks, because Locomotion Family Fun Park is a wild ride from start to finish. My family and I ventured into this playground of pandemonium expecting a typical day of mini-golf and go-karts. Little did we know, we were about to embark on an adventure that would redefine the meaning of "family fun." Let's start with the mini-golf course. Picture this: windmills that seem to have a personal vendetta against your golf ball, clown-faced obstacles that stare into your soul as you putt, and enough neo
Love this place. It's old school. They have a place to wash your pups in the parking close to the river and away from the building.
We went on a Thursday afternoon about 15 mins after they opened. First off the smell inside, is so nice. It's very fresh smelling. Everything seemed well cleaned. All games we played were in working order. The activities all have a push button that rings for an attendant. An attendant came immediately each time. Kids were a little short on points and the staff was kind and rolled them up without us asking. I wish I had asked for the name of the younger male attendant. He was so helpful every where. Oh and b
It was pretty fun for a few dollars and a chance to get out and do some different stuff. Go karts are the best thing here, and I suggest that if you are a adult; drive the pro track only. Medium skill track is okay, but you have to remember you are out there with kids who think by cutting you off and wrecking they are actually racing!
Not bad at all to I didn't know is like a bowling ozark alley to and fast lanes to and top golf to and Dave and busters they were are same thing go with it to all good games are there to all same games to wow thanks again thank you so much for it to thanks
We did it all! Bumper boats, go-karts, mini golf, laser tag, and lots of arcade games! Got an Icee and a cotton candy for my son and had a ton of fun.
Mini golf with the grandkids?? my favorite game inside on a rainy day is Wheel Of Fortune? go karts are cool?? this place is pure fun
Even though the boyz weren't with us on this visit, we all enjoy coming here for outdoor activities and go to Fun City or somewhere else for indoor activities. All the kids love the Bumper Zone, but they really get a kick out of driving go-carts. Especially when we are all able to drive at the same time against each other. Our youngest can't help herself as she laughs the entire time we're circling others around the track. If time permits, we enjoy the Bumper Cars outside and must bring towels due to them b
Some of the holes could just some repair but fun place for mini golf. Would be nice to have a family pack for golf and go carts for more then a family of 4. We are a family of 5 but no offers fit the needs of are family.
Of course kids loved it. Bummer boats, cars, go-carts, mini golf, arcade and pizza. We had a blast. Got 5 people on the boats, cars, go-carts and golf for $100.
Guess I'm beefy bc you close for private parties on holidays but don't bother letting the public know until they literally walk through your doors with kids in tow. I'm not upset I can't loose money to your establishment today, I'm upset by my kids disappointment and our wasted time . Just bad business management.
We played Mini Golf. Was fun. They have 2. 18 hole courses. Great Father's Day Fun
We took our five year old autistic son there for his birthday. The staff there were so accommodating. Very professional and helpful.
It would be 5 stars if it were a little bit cleaner! The walls are dirty haha. But everything works, and the people who work there are nice and my daughter had a great b'day party. There were dead flies in the windowsill of her party room. So like I said, if things were cleaner I would have no problem making it 5 stars.
We had a lot of fun and my son can't wait to go back. The prices were really good also. We will be going back very soon!
Was here two months ago and the deal or no deal machine was broken and the mega wheel would not spin come back tonight win the mega will spin and it's broke again. Tell the manager and they just said we're sorry we'll get somebody to get itfixed won't be back machines are in bad shape and they don't care. Then they wouldn't even turn The machine off just left it on for other people to get ripped off. That's why it empty in here on a Friday night. Then the manager opens the giant ball Crain and lets Olivia
Took kids here for birthday celebration. They had a blast with the go-carts and the VR headsets. The prices were about what I expected - make sure you look on the menu for a package deal to make things easy. We did a food/attraction combo deal. The pizza was hot and pretty good. In short the kids loved it !
It was okay, it was a spare of the moment trip. Just killing some time . Played golf it was a little cold but that's on me . Golf was ok could use a remodel or repair. Want in and played the arcade games . A lot of them had some problems they could use up keep for sure . Spent more money then it was worth . But in the end kids had fun and we made some memories.
We had our first experience and it was absolutely amazing the guy working yhe tickets he was great our kid has autism and he was so calming with her we appreciate hus patience with us his name was bration I believe he was new We came in at the end of the night he handled us with so much respect we really appreciate his customer service 2-22-25 a family of 3
Had lots of fun. They do not enforce the rules but over all really fun. Has food drink and games. Rides too.
We had so much fun !!! We played laser tag ,rode Go-Carts several times , we played a lot if games and won a ton of tickets ! To fun !!
This is a great place for a little family fun! I have been several times for different events and must say I always have a great time! I recommend going during the day rather than the evening because it can get kind of busy later. The cotton candy machine was amazing! I loved watching it make the candy! The mini golf was awesome and I highly recommend it. Kind of short but extremely fun! The whole place has a slightly sticky dirty layer like Chuck e cheese but that's kind of just how places like this seem t
Great indoor/outdoor family fun spot. Great staff, will definitely be back.
Super awesome time, Arthur and his staff handled the birthday crowd with ease and not one person left without a smile we will be going back
Couldn't give a zero for the go kart alone or the kids managing it so I gave one star.
EDIT: Since my last review, the ARG members have been able to take advantage of a nice deal for playing StepmaniaX, myself included. ?? Thanks so much! Been enjoying the StepmaniaX cabinet here. Not sure if they know, but there is a community of dance gamers that love to come out and play these together. I came out after a friend of mine said you could play 4 songs for $2 but when I went, it was 2 songs for $2. Unfortunately this will hurt the number of people that will come through to play. I've already s
It is always a great place to spend some family time. Our family likes the arcades (that are getting a little spendy), but so is life... We had a ton of fun on the Go Carts and one of the best miniture golf spots in Northwest Arkansas. It's great watching the kids run around for Laser Tag and smash into each other on the bummer cars. Really, it's quite a bit to choose from. Prices are creeping up. Staff is amazing and very friendly and happy to help.
They were so kind to open up an hour early for my group of 14 people to play laser tag. We will be back again
Took son for his birthday. The game room could use an upgrade.. kinda like Chucky cheese vs an incredible pizza type feel. Had a great time though
Took my daughter and girlfriend here on my daughter?s birthday. My kid?s go kart malfunctions and she got slammed by some other kids driving. She pulled into to the pits after one lap. The employees yelled at her for stopping. Did nothing about the kids driving dangerously. Left my kid with a headache and no interest in being in a loud arcade. I tried to refund the game card we didn't use and was told no because I bought the promotion. Was willing to eat the cost of the ride card we had used just wanted my
Lots of fun from go carts to bummer boats, lazer tag and more! We love coming here. We also always take time to feed the fish and turtles too!
Excellent for entertainment kids, young guys and family. A place to have fun in an old healthy way. Quite safe. The place was very clean too.
Had the best time there! The go karts are really fun and so is the arcade.
Loved their mini golf course & arcade! Lots to do & so much fun!
My daughter wanted something to do for her 12th birthday that wasn't swimming so we decided to try out lokomotion. Well it was super smelly inside, smells like exhaust from go karts. A bit over powering to be honest. The bathroom was disgusting and everything there was run down. Y'all need to pick up a pressure washer and hit them outside walls and tables. Our party coordinator was MIA a majority of the time. We were told pizza would be out at 430, we only had the room until 530, pizza come out at 5. We did
They should really post on their website when they have the place closed off for private parties, really irritating showing up and not being able to go inside
Didn't go to lokomotion, went to the puppy wash station it shares the same parking lot.
Fun place. When it rain, go for tge go cart !!!! So much more fun!
A great time! We love riding the Go Carts and feeding the fish!! Service was excellent , great family fun !
Such an awesome time. Got to go again. Laser tag, bumper carts, go karts, arcade.and food
Fantastic. So clean, everyone had a blast. Great pizza.
Fun place for the family. A little old and run down, but that's ok. Plenty of variety in the activities and the prices are OK. Worth a visit with the kids.
Dont know how they are in business. Everything is way expensive, and the go karts weren't that fast either.
We had a great time at our company party.
My son's family had a blast there.
Visited for the first time since I was a kid and it's still a solid arcade (with go-karts and other attractions). They can host birthday parties or you can just drop in and buy credits on a card. The go-karts seem to still be the main attraction, but they also have mini golf and bumper boats (depending on the time of year).
Only visited for the go karts, and they were well worth it! My brother, dad, and I had a great time racing against each other! Staff are friendly and facility was clean. I did not pay attention to the arcade floor while we were there, but it looked like all the kids had tons of fun out there.
Great Family Fun!!!! We had a blast here.
They've upped their game with upgrading. Was a great place to have a birthday party, and the staff is very helpful with accommodations. The pricing is better than Fastlane by quite a bit. The 3 generations of kids had a great time.
We had to cancel a party reservation due to family absences, and from start-to-finish, the staff, management and owner were patient, courteous, and offered options on the refund of the party payment. I have nothing but praises for them, and I guarantee, anytime you receive good service such as this, it's s worth every dime. We will be future customers, and will repeat the praises of great service, to others. Thank you.
Great place, maybe not the most affordable and fast go karts but i believe it's the only option in this area. Great service overall, the adult go karts are fun, the other two tracks are for kids and really slow. They sell food and drinks as well. Will be visiting again since my daughter really enjoyed it.
My granddaughter loved the Go-Karts!
Fun! There are lots of extractions and an indoor arcade.
Pretty great, lots of good activities and games. I'd recommend a weekday vist, as go karts and other line games are usually walk on. Really nothing to complain about from me ????
Great family entertainment. Very clean, well staffed and reasonably priced. We will be back again!
Went on a Friday mid afternoon. Didn't have to wait too long for the rides. Pretty much just got right in. My daughter and nephew had a great time.
Kids had so much fun! Reasonably priced. All park staff were extremely nice and accommodating.
After driving the go karts, we came inside and asked for them to please start our pizza. We then played the arcade games for about 20 minutes. We were told that the pizza was I. The oven. After almost 40 minutes I walked back up to the counter where the staff was just standing there talking. When I asked how much longer on my pizza, I was told that it would be right out and that the oven had to heat up. 20 minutes later still no pizza. When the pizza finally arrived it wasn't even hot like it came out the o
Kids had a blast playing Laser Tag, mini golf and bumper boats, and of course playing arcade games. We picked 3 activities with $20 play arcade card( lasted quite awhile) We had drinks, but no food as we ate prior. It was pretty hot for mini golf but kids (11 & 12 boys) loved it!
Had a great time with the kiddos, the mini golf was great and the go karts were even better!!!
Friendly staff and much fun for the family. There were folks cleaning when we walked in and continued to keep up the whole time. We did go during the week so not many people but it's good to know that they clean as thorough as they do. We will most definitely be back to enjoy the outdoor rides and golf course when the weather isnt cold. Thank y'all for the great experience.
I went here when I was little so was very excited to take my kids so they could have their own experience but it is so run down! Half the stuff doesn't work, they aren't keeping up with the maintenance, and have mostly a bunch of punk kids to deal with at the attractions that care more about looking at their phones then doing there jobs. 5 boys running go karts and 3 of them more interested of one of their phones. Definitely never going back unless a lot of things change for the better! We spent $200 for th
Took four people. After spending several minutes getting my kart's seatbelt adjusted, the kart didn't work. Pretty much ruined the night. In fairness, we were comped six rides. The manager was on top of it. Disappointing night made up for by good customer service.
Took my boys here for family day and it was amazing. The people here where so nice and helpful. We spent hours doing different things.
It was alright. Too expensive for not that much fun. And really expensive for still not enough fun.
Great fun with my buddy. We played mini golf. The people were super friendly at the front desk. And the golf course was entertaining. But I don't think employees ever go out to the mini golf or the area to clean. There were piles of trash and what looked like rolls of carpet and paint cans all strewn about next to an older maybe abandoned race track. It was like the area had been in disrepair for years. And the blue railings were in serious need of a proper repaint (sand it down to the metal, primer,
Our whole family had a great time. Good prices and very sweet and helpful employees. Pizza was delicious.
Closes too early on a Saturday night! 10:00! We were playing miniature golf and they just turned the lights out on us and left us in the dark. They have an intercom, looks like they could have warned us... We had looked at fastlanes and their closing time was 1 am so we didn't even pay attention when coming in to locomotion. I thought it was a bad way to treat customers. Also the go carts are rigged. Some are way too slow while some are fast. We left having grown men not happy with their race. Doesn't look
Putt putt course definitely needs to be upgraded. Paint chipping, wood broken, water areas are FILTHY. We keep hoping that each summer will be the summer they do it, but not yet. Course is a course, still works for a quick fun day with the kids.
Great place to take the family or become a kid again. They have tons of all arcade games, mini golf, bumper boats, laser tag, and go karts. The laser tag & go karts are super fun. Everything is pretty expensive here though. Expect to spend a lot of money if you want to experience everything. Overall it's great though. Highly recommend for some family fun.
Great place for a birthday. Little trouble with laser tag. Kids ended up with team vests so their game didn't score. No big deal. They had a lot of fun.
Great place to enjoy some family time. It had arcade games, pizza, go carts, bumper boats, Mini golf and other fun activities. I recommend getting the package deals for activities since it saves you a few bucks. You can also reserve a room to have a birthday party. Like every establishment of it's kind it's a little bit pricey but we only go there once or maybe twice a year.
An amazing place for people of all ages and walks of life. I've taken my nephew there on a few longer VA trips / visit since it's near the hospital and I recently took three of my best friends after a long day at Devil's Den hiking. Can't say enough about the staff and environment!
Went there for a trip, service was alright, pizza was delicious. Went go karting with my friends and had an absolute blast! Would recommend going for a fun one day trip!
The best attraction at Locomotion is the go carts for sure. I think it's a bit pricy for so little to do but the food is amazing! My mom is 60 years old & everytime she wants to go out she usually mentions locomotion because she likes to drive the go carts ???????? and the bumper cars with her grandkids! The pizza though ??
Such a fun place for good quality family time :) We rode the go-karts and played mini-golf! Especially more fun for the older kids, but even so many fun things for the littles, too. There just aren't as many good family places for the older kids, so this really makes family quality time possible and fun :)
This is a great choice for a birthday party. The staff is super helpful and friendly. There are a lot of fun activities for everyone. The kids had fun and so did the adults. The arcade is a lot of fun, but our favorite was the race track. The mini golf course was a fun activity that everyone got to enjoy for a while too. It's pretty cheap for everything that comes with the birthday package. I'll recommend lokamotion to anyone.
To preface this I do not know the whole story. I went on a family outing to Locomotion. we were having a great time, the Locomotion staff was very friendly and kind. However near the time we were about to head out there seemed to be a commotion at the front desk and it turns out the Owners of Banshee Manner, the haunted attraction taking over the laser tag, had ripped up money and tossed it at their workers. Again I do not know the whole situation, but it is horrible business practice and that is not how to
Came in town to visit family and found this gem. Tons of activities for all ages. Overall everyone had a good time! A few of the water bumper cars were broken and the women?s bathroom was under construction but that didn't take away from the great friendly service we had! The Go-Carts were a hit along with mini golf and all the arcade games. Reasonably priced, great customer service and fairly clean! We will definitely be coming back next time we are in town.
It's pretty expensive and a little run down. I hate that you don't get real physical tickets anymore. it takes away all the fun. Not a ton of game choices but the ones they have are ok. Laser tag is always a blast. Go carts are meh as well as the mini golf.
I have been here many times since I was a kid. This place has many very fond memories for me. If you are looking for an amazing time with friends and family, let this be your first option!
Kids had some fun. 60 bucks for 2 kids to ride go karts once, bumper cars once and laser tag once waaaaaay overpriced though.
Their summer family Thursdays (unlimited attractions from 5-10PM for $15/person or this plus unlimited games for $20) is a fair deal - I'm not sure I would ever come when it wasn't priced this way. We had a blast taking our nephews as a special treat for their last night in town with us. You can't beat the variety for the price - mini golf, bumper cars & boats, go karts, laser tag, and tons of games! Food is pretty pricey, but they let you leave and come back.
The prices were decent, and I really enjoyed the mini golf course. There are many activities to enjoy from games, bumper boats, and two different gold courses. The golf course backs into the Razorback Greenway, which is cool! Great location and plenty of fun. I will be back. Highly recommend if you are in the area.
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.”
