We were staying the weekend with our grandkids at a campground in Cave City- it was a rainy, washout with not much to do outside-we found this place on google maps and decided to check it out- So glad we did!! Plenty of activities for the kids and adults alike. Very family friendly atmosphere. We did the glow bowl- the kids had a blast!
The kids had so much fun! We would love to go again on our next trip to Glasgow, Kentucky
Ralphie's is a great family place for fun! We've been there several times and just keep going back because we like it so much, even though it's about a 45 minute drive away from where we live. It's more affordable than many other similar places, and it's very clean and family friendly. Our kids love it, and always ask to go back.
Came here after going to Mammoth Caves, and what a great place for kids at bargain prices! Buy a wristband for $17 a person, and you can do so much, including unlimited bowling, black light mini golf, skating, and inflatables / bounce houses! Arcade was good, too! Can also play Laser Tag for 5$ a person for several minutes and had billards table as well. Had concessions, but we did not have any while there. Spent over 2 hours there but could have spent more time there.
We had a great time here. We came for a birthday party. I wish you would include playing arcade games to the bands for kids that dont want to skate, or bowl.
Great times with our family while River is home for leave from army. We had a blast and kim got funnell cakes were delicious.
Fantastic experience from the attractions to the staff. Super helpful when making decisions and setting up things for attractions. Highly suggest if swing through town, to come in and try it out. At our time of visit, $18 wristband made our day amazing.
Good place for kids or to pass time. Friendly staff and not crowded on a weekend. Spent 4 hours playing mini golf and skating.
We had a great time at Ralphie?s Fun Center! Very fair pricing, lots of things to do! 2 toddlers (1&3) 4 adults lots of fun! Bounce houses, glow glow, bowling, skating, 2 rooms of arcade games, and more! Worth checking out!
It's an old place, but the best option in a 100 mile radius of where I live, 20 bucks per person gets you all the bowling and mini golf you can stand.
Been a bit since I was last in here and now it's better, they've added a lot more games, and it's now more of a party atmosphere for the family after about 2 pm. Fun and full of things to do, they even have a Virtual reality ride, which is pretty cool. Definitely a must visit
The staff was friendly and helpful! Its in door rollerskating was very nice. Reminded me of growing up in the 90s. The bowling section was clean and fun. Everything worked well. My family had a blast. The hot food kitchen had a killer nice guy working. The cost of the food was a suprise. It was honestly so reasonable in price. High school concessions are more expensive than this place. We got ordered a large cheese fry. Costs less than 8$ and it gilled a large takeout clamshell. My three daughters devoured
Clean, fun and family atmosphere. Will be going back. Prices are very reasonable for armbands. Hours of entertainment
WE LOVE RALPHIE'S! They have something for everyone here! A skating rink, a full bowling alley, virtual reality games, laser tag (that my 6 year old son could actually play) a nice selection of arcade games, a pirate themed mini-golf and more. Ralphie's is what I'm going to miss the most when I return to Ohio after vacation. We've gone every day that we've been here! Thank you for the wonderful time, Ralphie's! The world needs more places like this. ??
Came here as a reprieve from the heat on our trip to the caves. Hands down this is one of the most fun places for kids and adults! We came on Wristband Wednesday where each wristband was $12 and included unlimited skating (with skate rental), unlimited bowling (with shoe rental), unlimited rounds of black light mini golf, unlimited jumping in their inflatables and unlimited plays in their Time Freak machine. We did pay $2 extra to get the skating assist walker but we were novice skaters. The only things not
Took the grandkids 7 and 11 years old, they said it was the best day ever. They had such a good time and all of the staff were absolutely great and had a perfect personality to fit their job.
My first experience at Ralphie's was their NYE Pre Party. They did wristbands and had food specials and gave prizes away. Overall, I was satisfied with the prices paid and the availability and condition of the building and equipment. Prices are more than fair in my opinion. A couple of things that keep it a 4 and not 5 star, for me anyways: They didn't have a true DJ there with music, just a touch tunes jukebox and it wasn't hardly loud enough to hear, just my opinion. And on the skating rink side, it was m
Went to the Grove behind Ralphie's. Making this my weekend happy place. Live music in a wooded clearing, with adult beverage options. What could be better for a weekend wind down!
Had a pretty decent time and multiple activities to choose from for a great price. Will go again.
Great place to take kids. It has mini golf, laser tag, roller skating, bowling arcade, and food.
Very good atmosphere. Plenty of stuff to do and a lot of fun. The laser tag is one of the best laser tags I have played at. Felt very professional. Easy enough to spend a whole day skating, bowling, and gaming. Great time for kids and even adults.
Had a great time. Something for everyone to do! Large group with varying ages 4-36. We all enjoyed our time and had a blast! Will definitely be coming back soon!
Great spot for a stormy day. Kids loved roller skating, bowling, and mini golf. The glow in the dark mini golf was a neat idea. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We purchased wrist bands for the day, very affordable.
We love going here Saturday nights. It is a small place and they aren't fancy but its good clean fun at an affordable rate. Definitely would recommend it! The black light bowling nights are a lot of fun, too.
Great rainy day fun for the family! They offer bowling, skating, black light mini golf, laser tag, a medium sized arcade, escape rooms, and two inflatable bouncy houses. There is a decent snack bar (with some vegetarian options) too, so you don't even have to leave for dinner.
Nice arcade. The mini golf was super fun. Didn't get to bowl or skate this time but what we did do was fun. The staff were all super nice and patient.
We so loved this place on our little vacation. They have laser tag, bowling, roller skating and arcade games. My 7 year old granddaughter roller skated for the first time with assistance. This is great for families.
The layout of the building is very well organized and wide open. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The prices are very reasonable. I personally prefer this place, as compared to the fun center in Bowling Green.
After a busy day at Mammoth Cave the kiddos still had energy to burn... took them to Ralphie's for the evenings' final activities thus promoting an earlier evening of sleeping for them and a glass of wine for me. The $9 (per kiddo) roller skating was the best value for the money as the $17 (per kiddo) combo pack was slightly overpriced in my opinion and didn't include laser tag or arcade. The arcade games were current and had a few "old school" favorites which occupied me when I wasn't watching and laughing
What a cool place!! They have a bit of everything!! We went there for skating. We all have our own skates, so I cannot speak to the rental skates. I was told the floor was recently redone, so perhaps that's why there were some extra slick spots. It is very dark in the skating area, making it difficult to see if there are any hazards on the floor. If the lighting was a little brighter and the floor wasn't quite as slick, or if we had brought softer wheels), then it would have been way better!! The layout is
Im from out of state and we've came here twice. Love it! Decent prices and lots to do! Clean and super friendly!
Great family establishment. They have it all, including great food! Staff are friendly and responsible. We can't wait to come back and spend some time out in the new outdoor Grove area.
Very fun place to go Laser tag, bowling, arcade games, skating rink, good food if you haven't been should definitely check it out
Was there for a bday party and son had a blast
There's a lot to do here and it's great fun. There are certain special discounts some days, but even if you don't do those deals and pay full price, it's not bad. Bowl, mini golf, skate, arcade games, laser tag, time game... there's a lot to do and a lot of fun times to be had.
Came here last weekend and I must say this is a hidden gem. Coming from louisville to barren river typically doesn't have much in a lake town. We took my son here and the games were awesome, low prices, cool minigolf awesome prize selection. Can't wait to come back again.
Had an awesome night of bowling for a very reasonable price!
Always a fun place to go. Plenty to do for kids and adults.
It was great that they had some form of entertainment not too far from mammoth cave. We enjoyed the indoor mini golf, roller skating and arcade games.
Had a blast. Laser tag is so much fun. An ?? an the games
Great place to take the family for Funtime! ????
Fun for the whole family! We are from Indiana and were in the area for a weekend trip. It was a chilly day so we chose to spend it here. So glad we did, our kids had a blast! The wristband is the best deal I've ever seen at a place like this. You can do so many things for a low price. Looks like a great place for Birthday parties!
Wife and I decided to check out RFC to see what all they had. They have skating, bowling, Lazer tag, game room, etc. We mostly wanted to bowl. Mid-day was a good time to go on Weekdays. It's slower and less busy compared to late afternoon and evenings. For both of us it was $13 to play 1 game, including show rentals. Snack bar was average. They have specials throughout the week. A good place to rent for private children birthday parties.
Very friendly staff. Food from snack bar is surprisingly better then I had expected. Everything is clean. Bathrooms are kept clean as well.
My family had a wonderful time! My child has some sensory issues but it was such an open area with lots to do and not nearly as expensive as other more well known family activity centers. Just so wonderful and the staff was amazing and so kind! My neice tried skating for the first time and had a little fall but the guy in charge of skates came right out and cheered her up. We just had the best time I highly recommend Ralphie's!!!
This place is a true hidden gem! To start?the rate for a wristband (which will provide enough fun for a whole day for just about anybody?) is really incredibly affordable, let alone the fact that this is a combo roller rink/bowling alley/laser tag/arcade/putt putt with even more fun added in! Once the kids get bored with bowling, they can go putt putt, and then go skating, and then go play some games, just in time to go bowling again. It's an AWESOME value for all you get, and everything was really well mai
We were visiting family in the area. Our kids had a great time at Ralphie's.
I took my niece for some quality time. We had a great time playing miniature glow- golf & bowling. The place was fairly clean and organized. It was a fun atmosphere.
My daughter had a lot of fun with her friends here. It was a great place to keep cool and entertained during the summer. The wristbands were a good way to save money if you plan to do multiple things and stay for a long time.
Very nice place! Took my daughter out Bowling for the afternoon before leaving for College! Bowling was Awesome and snacks and drinks were very reasonably priced! Arcade games were a nice break as well! She wanted to skate on the other side of the establishment from the Bowling alley and we enjoyed it as well!!! Great place for kids from 6 to 66! We'll be back again soon!!!
Very cool place and is affordable for a family of four. Hard to find that these days. The kitchen staff was very nice too.
This place was awesome. Wish we had gone earlier. There's a skating rink, bowling alley, concessions, and a HUGE arcade. We had a total blast at this place. Too bad we were just visiting, because if we lived here we would most definitely be regulars. Thanks to our Get Out pass we even bowled for free.
I went here with my daughter on a school field trip. We had a great time, but some of the game machines weren't working, but we still had fun. We did everything that they had to offer, and even the food was good. Thanks for having us.
Birthday party here and it was fantastic! Most cost effective place around and so much fun! Ellaria coordinated our party and was amazing. Will definitely be back again.
My kids can't get enough of this place. We had my youngest son's birthday party there today. Rented a room, and the girl (Brie I think her name was) that helped us was super courteous and friendly. The wristbands they sell are a really good bargain, and the food is reasonably priced. Overall, we had a fantastic time.
This place is a great place for the whole family to go, there is a bunch of different activities to do from skating to arcade games.
Fun! Got the wristbands for my husband and I. We bowled our hearts out, played mini golf then tried to skate.
Can't give a high enough rating. They treated my children .... Perfectly. I am grateful. May they truly be blessed. We will gladly return again and again. Staff was friendly and open towards customers, needed help? We got it? Questions? They were answered! They helped ensure my two boys enjoyed their shared bday parties to the fullest !
Armbands are $30. That's everything but laser tag and pool. My kids had a great time!
Amazing place to play for both kids and adults! The all inclusive pass was worth the $17. As a group of 8, we played putt putt, time freak, bowled a couple of games, roller skated for a bit, and let the kids jump in the bounce house. Everyone had a fantastic time and all the team members were so pleasant and helpful. We didn't try the cafe food, but it smelled great and prices looked reasonable. It's too bad we were only visiting from out of state....if we lived locally we'd come back all the time!
Went on a Sunday and staff was short and honestly not very friendly. The bowling and skating are great but they advertise bounce houses but only have 2 small ones. Mini golf course is not laid out well at all. Very glad I did not pay full price as I would have been extremely disappointed.
Very reasonable price . My grandkids had fun !!!
We liked what we saw when went it. Very spacious. Lots of areas for fun. So many things to do! Bowling, skating, laser tag, video games, blow up toys to jump in. There is a snack bar. Cant wait to go there again!
I beat the guys in laser tag. Like bad lmao. ???? But got school in bowling by the youngn.
They are currently opening at 4, but I love that Glasgow has Ralphies!
We took our grandchildren to Ralphie's. They are 10 and 7 and they had a great time! We spent 5 hours in there and they were worn out when we left. We ate there. The food was good and not terribly expensive. We got wrist bands for $15 and that included skating, bowling, miniature golf, something called time freak. Arcade games and laser tag were extra. Great fun!
Way much better than Southern Lanes in Bowling Green. Wheelchair accessible bowling lanes. Nice all inclusive price.
Ralphie's Fun Center was a great place to take our family while on vacation in Cave City, KY. We have tweenagers and this was fun for them. We bowled, mini golfed, and played arcade games. They also offer laser tag, roller skating, as well as food like pizza and other similar items. The prices were fair. The staff were friendly. We had a great time.
Family fun for all ages. Seasonal they have opened up the Grove, live music etc for adults. Great food, friendly service,fun for any size family and age group, personalized party reservations, and even gives back to help with special Olympics. A gem in a small town.
Our family and friends to fun place. There is plenty for the kids to do and the older ones love bowling, then burning up the floor as they rollerblade with their younger siblings. Some of the parents sit and talk in the multiple areas for this. There is a very nice snack bar with real food and it's pretty good.
Went for my granddaughters birthday....all of us had a blast
My family absolutely loves this place! Not too far from home, it's great entertainment for adults and children. Good food, great staff, and it's only as expensive as you want it to be. We've had birthday parties and family days here without a hitch. They also serve alcohol, if that suits you, but I've never seen any drunk people.
We had my sons first birthday party they made us feel welcomed they had someone in the room with us taking care of orders and everything
If you haven't checked out Ralphies you definitely should! Make sure you check out the virtual reality ride! It was a blast!
This place was PERFECT for our son's birthday party!!! I'm so glad we gave it a shot! For the price you won't be able to have a better time any where around. They were super friendly and on top of helping w/ anything we needed! Thanks so much Ralphie's, we will definitely be back!!!!!!
Maybe best place to have a child's birthday party. We had a person that took care of everything and it was priced great. If I was going to complain about anything it would be paper thin pizza but honestly the kids could care less and probably part of the reason they can offer such a great price.
Always a fun place to come. Great staff. Great bowling lanes. Time freak is fun to play. Glow in the dark putt putt course. They have laser tag, skating rink, game room and kids play area. They have many birthday party rooms.
Great little place to go for families or even just to enjoy your inner child with some friends. Lots of activities offered here and they do various events throughout the year. Pricing is average for this type of establishment as is the food so bring your $ and take advantage of any savings offered but above all have fun! It is a fun center after all.
We had a great time...thank you so much for the hospitality.... great place to go for the whole family
Let me start by saying that the employee's were very nice. This location has glow in the dark putt putt golf. Which was fun for my young teens. It also has a few bowling lanes. We did not bowl while we visited. They have a small kids bounce area which was very small and not in the best shape. It has an arcade area which some of them give tickets that you can turn in for small toys, or if you live in the area save them for bigger rewards. It also has a snack bar. The main issue I had was with the skating rin
I've been there twice. It's a great place for quality family time.
This is a very unique venue with a great vibe. Absolutely an awesome place!!! The only advice I could pass along is to understand that arriving early to place your seating near the stage is a waste of time. We got there 2hrs early to see the Travelling McCourys just to have about 50 poeple (who arrived much later than we did) too come and stand right in front of us. (The entire front row of poeple that arrived early was extremely frustrated and many ended up leaving). I am not against there being a place fo
My kids love this place. Their are alot of activies. The only problem was several of the arcade games charged their car but didnt work.
I have been here a few times before to bowl. This time I skated and had the whole skating area to myself all night. Also, one of the staff members took the time to give me some tips on backwards skating! Good prices and staff is helpful!
Extremely fun place for a family outing, but I do notice that they do not keep an eye on the tables in the bowling alley area to keep clean after people have eaten off of them. Will definitely be bringing the family back.
Nice and clean and HUGE facility. Had my son's 3 year bday party here. He had a blast. 15$ for a wrist band that includes skating, bounce house, mini golf, bowling... all the activities are toddler friendly, they have things to help them skate and bowl. The staff were a pleasure to work with and everyone had a great time! Thank you ralphies!
First time there and it was great. Not 5 star because the pizza isn't much and skate ring is uneven concrete. But I would recommend and will definitely be back. Great place to take the kids
Excellent value if you purchase the wristband that allows you to visit each attraction unlimited times during the day. I wish that laser tag was included in this base price and that the arcade was larger. However, neither of these detract from the value of the wristband. My kids love going here and I try to take them about once a month.
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.”
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.
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.
