From the reviews
This place is fun. The games are a little pricey but they have mini golf which has the most beautiful.course ever! Its only $10 per person. You can get a refill.card here to use another time and when you play games and dont see tickets coming out the card rexorda your tickets so u can always check your balance.
We come to Frankie's Fun Park every time we visit family, and my kids absolutely love it! They have a large selection of games, and while some machines don't always seem to work, there's still plenty to keep everyone entertained. The go-karts are by far my kids' favorite — they have a blast every time.
We visited on a Sunday afternoon around 12:30 in July. There weren’t many people there at that time but the crowds showed up by 2:00. The air conditioning was just what the doctor ordered. There are a wide selection of action games and redemption games ranging from $1 - $3 per play.
I had a blast with my children and niece. The food was really good, pricing is reasonable. I had a 12, 9, and 5 year old we had so much fun! I was able to ride my 5 year old with me in the go carts. Games were easy and friendly. Bathrooms were clean, and although it was a busy Saturday I’d go back!
