Owners are rude, they should work on their attitudes big time. You shouldn’t be running a family fun business if you’re going to make it uncomfortable and yell at kids. My little cousin has autism and I brought them and luckily they couldn’t tell how rude the workers were being because they are always happy and talk to anyone and love people. Shame on you. We need more love and kindness in the world, it’s obvious they opened the business only for the money and not to have a fun place for families to enjoy. Please do better.

Seen this place the other day and stopping and checking it out Rochester don’t have much to do esp things of this nature. After reading these reviews I’m glad I didn’t stop it’s totally out of line the way they treat their customers and the lack of wow factor to their mini golf course.. Rochester needs more cool things to go! Rochester is a worldwide destination and needs more fun things! A little more wow factor In this city would be nice plenty of tourists in town for Mayo looking for fun things to do! I will not risk having myself or my family being disrespected thank you everyone for your reviews and the heads up! If this place fails we are products of our own fate by the way we treat people!

It was an absolutely beautiful day. My 10yo son and I started with a round of golf. The holes arent too creative or challenging. They had a simple allure to them, refreshing in the shade covered serene setting. A couple water hazards were made with a creative small culvert that allowed for a challenge, but didnt make it frustrating to rescue your ball. The two of us took about 30-40 minutes to complete 9 holes at a leisurely pace.Next we went for the go-kart track. My son was SO excited for this! He had been in a go-kart before, but wasnt big enough to drive. This was his first time driving by himself - and he LOVED IT! But seriously, what 10yo wouldnt? He was so excited to be able to put the peddle to the metal and even kick-out the back end of his kart around one turn. The karts had enough power to get moving, but not so much that you had to worry. As a father, I wasnt concerned by the speed, or lack of helmets. There simply was very little danger as long as you stayed in your kart. The track was fun, but not very technically challenging. There are plenty of places to pass and block.Although not expensive compared to other options in Minnesota, it was a shame that each race only lasted 5 minutes. I understand the logistics, but it would be nice if there was a day-pass concept or a club to join for significant savings. Id love to go more, but $32 for 10 minutes of fun for 2 people is a tad much IMHO. Although worth it for the memories this time, the uniqueness value decreases with each return.

The go karts were really fun!, but the people working here were bossy and rude, I was just trying to have a fun time, and I wanted to leave right after I went on the go karts, you wonder why nobody goes here anymore? You guys are so disrespectful and need to be nicer to everyone! Nobody deserves to be treated that way, even my younger sister said you guys were mean.

My family and I were wanting something fun to do and we absolutely love gocart racing. We found this place and drove two hours away from home to come here. When we arrived it was raining and one of the works, in a rude tone, told us we couldnt ride the gocarts till it was done raining. So we left and came back when the rain had passed. During this time we found other cool things in Rochester that we wanted to do, but we decided that we wanted to spend our money on the gocarts instead. When we came back they were very rude and never stated the rules and what should be happening. While riding one of us got stuck on the track and the workers had to come and help them out. While helping, the older worker, was completely rude and told her that she should not be driving that fast and was scolding her, so much that she was in tears. This made me absolutely infuriated! Not only did we spent our hard earned money on gas to get here but also to have a fun time riding and that is the opposite of what happened. If you are riding go cars the last thing on your mind is going slow....the whole point is to be going fast. The workers wiped the smiles off of our faces within seconds of being there! I would not suggest spending your money here unless you want to be in a bad and negative environment. Never coming here again and never suggesting it to others. I wish I could give it zero stars.

Owners are very rude, not friendly at all. The first time I went I thought mabye they were having a bad day but I went back again today and JEEZ. It’s just their personality. Both of them. Bossy, rude and act like they’re better than everyone else. If I could give 0 starts I would.

Not a fan!!! They treated my group WAY different than the white family that was there. One of my riders (who is biracial) slightly bumped into another cart and the guy yelled at her and made her cry. While the other group that went after us, the young white child rammed the line of gokarts and and sent the front car out of the corral and onto the trackand he nicely said to that child, be careful next time please with a smile on his face. WHY!?!?!? I cant stand when people are treated so differently. Makes me sick!!! Will not be going back.

Fun for all ages. My 2 year old (almost 3) was allowed on the karts. Safe speed for any level driver. If you go, do all the activities. Its fun for an hour to hour and a half. I wouldnt say its an all day event but its definitely a great local place for kids. Especially younger kids.

It’s really embarrassing when we invite friends to do something fun and when you get there, you are treated disrespectfully. They have a great area and a good mini golf, but the older guy needs to learn how to be more respectful, more patient and less rude if he wants people to give him money. I had a fairly good time, but I would not go back because I do not want to spend my hard earned money on a place that does not know how to treat costumers. I hope the younger girls learn to be better and more friendly.

Owner sold me his used mower for the property, and was completely dishonest. Drove two hours one way, got back and my trailer is full of oil. Now is claiming I did something to make it leak oil! Both transmissions are gushing oil. The mower is going to have to be scrapped and cost me $1700. If this is how a business owner runs his business, beware.

The owners of the place are very unfriendly. My friend placed her coat on the tree next to the mini golf course, and the owner walked up to her and said, I dont want your coat to damage MY tree. When taking a group picture for the Go Kart at the start line, he said, I give you 1 more minute. This happened when nobody was waiting in line and I was obviously not posing a safety hazard. All in all, a poor experience. Will give zero stars if I could.

Very overpriced minigolf for small kids. 9 holes of mini golf (small course), for $6.50 per individual. So we were there 5 minutes and they completed the course.

Has not changed much in 25 years. Go cart track is ok but the mini golf is pretty basic.

Review №24

Rochester needs a REAL minigolf course. 7.50 per person for 9 holes of putt putt! I can walk 9 holes on a real course for 15.Every hole was the same...rock obstacles, hole on a ridge, every ball landed in the same position on every hole. The score card was tiny. Not when room for player initials. So sad that this is our only option for family fun in a city of 115,000!!! Dont waste your money...

My wife and I and 2 of our cousins from Duluth played the mini golf course on 8/11/2017 and found it very frustrating to play because of its poor design. I would recommend you not spend your money on this course. We did not try the go carts because it started to rain.

The go karts are extremely slow. Might be fun for a 5 year old if they are tall enough. The old man running the place is also very rude. Take the time to drive to a better establishment

Expensive. Not much to do it there but it has a lot of potential given the amount of land they have. Their mini golf is sub par. Nothing special about it at all. I wish they would make it decorative with different obstacles.
