    Took the little here a few weeks ago, it had just opened for the day so foot traffic was low. I'm not much of a people person haha so that was indeed nice. The price of games isn't bad compared to other arcades. The cleanliness was actually up to par for sure. The eating area has plenty of options, the pizza is really good so make sure to give that a go. There is a few rides along with laser tag! The boardwalk is connected to the bowling alley so go bowl some frames too. The Boeing are just opened up a remodeled section and it looks absolutely amazing!! Definitely a monthly visit for me.

    I bought a basic party package and OMG you would have thought I bought the most expensive package because the customer service with everyone was incredible. Specifically I want to shout out Beca for how incredibly helpful, caring, sweet, and attentive she was to all of our guests she walked us through everything and explained anything we had questions about she made my son's 6th birthday so much more special. 10/10 recommend. Momma's if you need a place to have your kids party with minimal stress do it at the boardwalk. Beca did practically all the heavy lifting, made it easy to be in the moment with my birthday boy.

    We visited here on a Saturday , fairly busy day for this location . Be prepared to spend some money , maybe not break the bank money , but definitely a chunk ! You can use the kiosks to buy gaming cards which can be used for games and rides . Or you can choose to buy a wristband for the kiddie rides . They have specials throughout the week with better deals on games and wristbands . The play structure requires a wristband which you can purchase separately at the prize counter if that is all your child wants to do . They have food and drinks for sale , better prices in the Boardwalk then in the bowling alley area . A fun place for the family to go !

    Recently attended my son's classmate's birthday party and it was fun! Lots of parking available. Not far from the freeway too. The Boulevard has tons of things to do all in one place and indoor with air conditioning! Fair type games and rides at reasonable prices especially with a wristband. Prizes are decent and of good quality. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Just enough options to keep kids happy and parents stress free. Consider this place for birthday celebrations. Thank me later.

    Well this was my first time coming here and it is a lot like Chuck E Cheese and it is bigger though lots of Video games and there is even Bumper Cars inside also plus it is a lot like Family Fun Center which is boomers now . But everything is in doors . There are lots of bowling lanes also . It is perfect for kids and Adults also we walked around looking and there is plenty to do here plus there is Air Hockey tables and pool tables inside here also !! But for 3 people it cost us 46 Dollars for one hour of bowling kind of expensive I would say but they do have bowling tournaments here and leagues you can join here also . They do accept party's here also you just have to ask . Overall it was a good experience and I surely can see myself coming back . Lots of Parking and it is located in El Cajon . I suggest you give Boardwalk a try and enjoy all the games here !!!

    $600 for two stressful hours yikes

    My son's birthday at the Boardwalk was chaotic but he had fun. We chose the Ultimate Birthday Package which includes unlimited rides, laser tag, $15 game cards for guests (up to 10) and a $20 game card for the birthday boy or girl. Each kid after the first 10 is $35 extra but they told me they only have 12 laser tag vests so bigger parties would need to be split into two games. I definitely recommend getting there 15-20 minutes early so your party host has time to explain the schedule and give you a run down of the day's events. You also really want to stress to your guests to be there on time if you're doing the party package with laser tag. We had a couple kids who missed out due to being late and the round only lasts 7 and a half minutes. We never got a second round of laser tag as it stated on the schedule. You will not be able to go into the actual party room for the first hour of the party so be prepared to sit and loiter while the kids run around and go on the rides. The second hour of the party you get into the room, they serve pizza and leave you a few minutes for cake and presents. They give out the game cards at the very end of the party so allow for extra time after the scheduled events to play games. Honestly everything felt really rushed and stressful but I understand they need to keep things tight to ensure all the parties that day are on time. My biggest complaint though was that the pizzas didn't come out all together so there were people sitting around waiting while half the guests ate. For the money you pay, you would expect the staff to be on top of things and even though our party hostess was super nice and trying her best, the service was simply lacking. Three stars because my son and his friends loved it and had the best time but from a parent's perspective, probably two stars at best.

    Came for a birthday party. Was a huge parking lot the place was pretty big. The parking lot was full. There is a lot of parking though. The boardwalk arcade was pretty lonely everyone is at the bowling. Great place for kids. They have bowling, arcade games, laser tag and some rides. Some of the games a little beat down and do not work. Workers were able to get them working of give us the credit for it back. I really enjoyed the laser tag and thought it was fun. It was $10 for a game. We played a few games I think we did $20 and it lasted a while. Most games were 10-30 credits. They have pizza, chicken wings, tenders, icees, beer and soda. I did not eat or drink anything. They were saying the prices were good for the alcohol which was beer or canned drinks of Cutwater Spirits.

    We brought out own cake

    We had a birthday party for my daughter and she absolutely loved it, everyone was very nice the food was amazing! I definitely enjoyed it and so did the kids!

    Went here for my nephew's 4th birthday party quickly put together for some after work mid work week shinanigans. My nephew and his friends played in the play pen and on the video games. He was having a ball, this place is old decor wise but it was cool for what it was I only been there once and I lived in San Diego all 38 years of my life. I ordered some cheese sticks and fries then two ices came out to 20bucks I haven't had an icee in years and they still on point pluse they had strawberryango where was this all my life. Jessica was holding downy the food fort with her help great personality very helpful and friendly so shouts out to her she's doing her thing. The bathrooms were clean clean at least the man's was and that's saying a lot being that the name of the game is aim and some people be off lol. All in all wouldn't go out of my way to come here but I would pull up for another impromptu event

Can't believe we have been missing out all these years (I believe this is their 15th year) We had VIP entry for 7pm and at 1st I thought I could have saved some money and gone general entry but ended up the extra cost was well worth the money. The general entry line wasn't super long at 1st but for sure it started getting packed. We were 1st in line and eager to check everything out and get some good scares. The trial is a bit uneven but is well lit and actually not too bad to walk. The scareators were amazing, the props as well and the staff superb! The scares are enhanced knowing you are literally walking through the buildings and area of the old amusement park. We were in the first group to enter and what I liked not is we were spaced out. Even though there were roughly 8 of us we all got a chance to get scared. There was no overcrowding or trying to fit too many people through at once. It was perfect. Parking is free and easy in and out (dirt lot but we'll maintained). Depending on the time and date you go might help factor in which ticket option you want. There are three options, general line, fast pass, and VIP. Each allow you to stand in or bypass the line. Later in the season I would for sure go with fast pass at least. I can picture this haunt getting busier. Overall a great local haunt, well priced, easy to get to and awesome people. Can't wait to go back!

I will say the arcade is super fun and you can go on the half point days they have on Wednesdays and Sundays. They had a great deal going on for a deluxe pass for 90 days you can get unlimited game play and up to 1000 tickets for the lowest level. My tip is you go to Costco and get the gift card then purchase this pass and literally costs $80 total for unlimited game play. Of course if you go on Saturday or Friday it will be packed. We went in the mornings or weekdays and it was not crowded at all. They have fun ticket games and the prizes are okay for the level of play you get.

We were a bit skeptical if this place would be fun for adults, but we decided to give it a shot anyway. As soon as we arrived, parking was super simple and easy to find. Once we arrived, they had a variety of packages to choose from, catering to different requirements. We purchased a power card and loaded the card with adequate balance for all of us. As soon as we walked in, we were pretty excited to try out all the different games on the floor. We started with deal/no deal. This was a fun one. Next, we tried air hockey. They had two tables for air hockey so all four of us could play at the same time. We next tried the Mario racing game and that was fun too. Overall, we played over 12 games and had a great time. It was more of a double date and we are glad that we chose this place. I highly recommend checking out this place as a family or even for your next date night.
