Arcade games
Robert R.

Frankies fun park is one of the best local amusement parks in the area. They offer two mini golf courses, batting cages, bumper boats, a couple go car tracks. A perfect place for families and everyone. They also have a large indoor arcade, as well as food and drink. Great place for birthday parties as well. So hop in your cars and head to Frankies for a fun filled day.

Great place to spend time with family and friends. We played games and ate food. Overall we had a great time. If you haven't been go! Take a family, friend or yourself.

Great fun for the family or a date! Lots of outside activities & games inside! The food is ok, but the activities should be the focus. It's been around since the early 90s & is a safe establishment

Came for a birthday party the outside patio area is very cold outside feels so much better. The prices are very expensive the go carts cost $9. They even closed the kitchen early because they said not many people was there so I guess our guest wasn't enough

This place is not just fun for the kiddos. It's fun for the adults too. They have batting cages. I haven't done that in years and was so much fun. They have 2 different go kart tracks, bumper boats and an arcade. I'm the arcade is a VR setup that was tons of fun. You could spend hours in this place and have fun every second. Love it!!

Over all we had a fun visit. Some part of the facilities are clearly aged and due for some TLC. When trying to decide which activities we wanted to participate in, the cashier was no help in explaining the difference of the road course vs the drift course. She also told us cash only, and watched us struggle to see if we had any on us. Only layer to see that the machines to reload or purchase cards did accept cash. It would have been nice for her to Direct us there in the first place. The battling cages were cheap, $3/16 pitches. The machine malfunctioned and we didn't have to wait long for staff to come fix it. They even gave us a free swipe since we didn't get all the pitches due to malfunction. There are no sanitation options with using their equipment (helmets and bats). The road course was fun, lasted a good amount of time but don't really go fast and we felt sized more for children. The inside VR was pretty neat, $9 for about 10 minutes. Played a few arcade games, not much variety but still fun.

Prices for activities

My boyfriend wanted to stop by to use the batting cages. I haven't been here in years! Money for all activities is loaded onto a card, which is convenient...and easier than trying to keep up with coins. Each round of the batting cage is $2 (16 balls), which isn't bad. They offer pitch speeds ranging from slow pitch softball to 70 mph. The driving range, go-carts, rock climbing, mini golf, and bumper boats are the other outdoor activities. There's also a covered seating area, which is a great space for children's birthday parties. They have a nice variety of arcade games. Each one we played was $1.50. The arcade did have a strange odor, kinda moldy and old. Overall, we had a great time.

It's for kids not adults. The only thing I come here to do with my significant other is play golf, other than that nothing. It's miniature golf not even real gold but it's fun and we tend to have a good time. The food it's way overpriced for something out of a box- again expected for a fun park. I wish they'd let you bring non alcoholic beverages in but they don't. If you are looking to get better at hitting the ball in baseball they have great baseball cages to practice- other than that as stated this is geared towards children and teenagers- not adults.

We had so much fun here. Everyone working was so nice, and one employee noticed that my little autistic grandson was holding his hands over his ears while we were paying for our cards and came over and offered to turn the volume down on the music. That meant SO much to our family to have employees who pay attention and care. My daughter found his little noise reduction headphones, and he was fine. The kids won prizes, we all played games, and it was a great time out of the SC heat. Highly recommend!

Hit the Jackpot!

Who says arcade games are just for kids? I've been going to this Frankie's for over 10 years now and this place has always been a good time. This park is one of the more fun places to hang out in Charleston if you like games. The Arcade: They have mostly ticket and prize games. Some of their unique games include Flappy Bird, a huge 4 person Pac-man air hockey game, Connect Four, Kung-Fu Panda, a gigantic pac-man machine, and many more. There's also your typical arcade staples of Skee-ball, basketball, and regular air hockey. From their skilled prize games, you can give up to 30,000 tickets, Beats Headphones, or MP4 players. All the machines use cards to swipe instead of coins. If you have enough tickets, you can exchange them for prizes at the front. Outside, they have a lot of outdoor activities including a full range golf course at the very, very back of the park, putt-putt, battling cage, drop zone, and bumper boats. Each activity costs about $7 or $8 a person. I personally love the 18 hole putt-putt course, go-carts, and the full range golf course. With a group of 3 or 4 friends, the putt-putt course can provide up to an hour of entertainment depending on how bad you are. The go-cart course is a lot of fun because it's fairly large, the karts go reasonably fast, and they give you about 4 minutes of play time. The full range at the back is pretty cool if you want to improve your golf skills or just want to wack a ball with a stick. I usually spend about $20 here between the arcade and outside attractions so except to spend about that much and more if you have kids!

Not a great value, typical kid employees that could care less. Could be much better with some attention.

Do u need clothes toed shoes for go kart riding?

Yes

What ages for bumper boats?

It's not really an age requirement since it is based on height but the boats haven't been open in a while due to being seasonal and staff shortages.

If you're looking for a place where kids can burn off some energy, have fun, and try a variety of activities all in one location, Urban Air is definitely worth checking out. There was SO much to do! Dakari had plenty of opportunities to run, climb, jump, compete, and just be a kid. There were lots of different games and attractions, including obstacle courses, bumper cars, laser tag, virtual reality, arcade games and other interactive activities. I loved that there was such a variety because it kept things interesting. We weren't doing the same activity over and over again--there was always something else for him to explore. The obstacle courses were especially fun to watch. Kids could challenge themselves, work their way through different obstacles, and test their balance and coordination. The bumper cars were another favorite, and of course, laser tag added a little friendly competition to the day. There was a really nice mix of activities for children with different personalities--whether they like running around, competing, climbing, or simply playing games. I was terrified of the jousting and the dodge ball. He isn't too coordinate so I didn't want him to get hurt. One of my favorite parts of the experience was honestly just watching Dakari have fun. There's something special about seeing your grandchild completely caught up in the moment, laughing, playing, and enjoying himself. It made the day memorable for me too. After all that activity, we needed a little break and something to eat and drink. Urban Air has a small cafe where we stopped for some refreshments. We ordered hot pretzels and cherry Pepsi slushies, which were perfect after running around and playing. The pretzels were a great snack, and that cold cherry Pepsi slushie really hit the spot! I also want to mention the cleanliness of the facility. Overall, the place was clean and looked well maintained. With the number of children running around and all of the activities going on, I was pleased with the overall condition of the facility. The bathrooms were okay--nothing particularly fancy, but they were serviceable and acceptable during our visit. The staff was friendly and pleasant, which always makes a difference when you're visiting a busy family entertainment center. They were helpful and interacted well with the children. I also have to give a shout-out to the kids who were there that day. Everyone seemed to be behaving pretty well, and the atmosphere felt fun without being chaotic or unpleasant. As a grandparent, I really appreciated having a place where Dakari could get away from his PS5 for a while, be active, socialize with other children, and just have fun. There's something to be said for watching kids use their imagination, physical abilities, and competitive spirit while making memories. Would I go back? Absolutely! I think Urban Air is a great option for a day out with the grandchildren, especially when they have a lot of energy to burn. With the variety of activities, there is enough going on to keep kids entertained for quite a while. Most importantly, Dakari had a blast--and that made Grandma happy too! If you're looking for a place to take the kids for an afternoon of jumping, climbing, obstacle courses, bumper cars, laser tag, games, snacks, and plenty of laughs, Urban Air is worth considering. Definitely a fun day and a great memory with my grandson! This was not our first visit. I had given Dakari a 3 month season pass before. Five stars from Grandma and Dakari! Parking 5/5 ( I have a handicapped placard, parking is always great) Atmosphere 5/5 Cleanliness 4/5 Staff 5/5 Food 4/5 Prices -a little pricey but worth it!

Most of the staff are younger kids, some of which could use a little more training in some aspects. Checking in was kind of a nightmare due to staff passing us off to other staff or not having answers to questions pertaining to the party or tickets. Some of the staff were doing great paying attention to what was going on in their area while others talked a lot and didn't notice rough and rowdy kids for quite a while. There is a huge variety of things to do from the playplace to the rotating bumper cars, several climbing walls, rope course, laser tag and virtual reality. We were there three hours and could easily have spent another five and not been bored.
