Sooo, Chincoteague Island is not very big and neither is Funland Amusements but that's ok because my family and I had a blast here! When we pulled up on a Friday night, I was half way tired from our five hour drive from NOVA to here but this place woke me up. The owner greeted us and asked us what he could help us with and my husband asked if we could purchase some tickets to the go karts and the mini golf. My husband printed off some coupons from the Funland website and the owner allowed him to use two (WINNING). The owner was very friendly and answered all of our questions. The hubby tried to place an order for ice cream, but the owner informed us he would not be serving this until Memorial day weekend. Bummer.That's ok tho because we came here to play! After we got our tickets, the owner informed us we could go to the go karts first and then come back for our mini golf clubs. There was a large group of kids also waiting in line, and when it was time for us to grab a car this large group helped make the go kart race even more fun! My daughter was a little sad she was not tall enough to drive but it was ok because she got to be my front seat assistant. After the workers buckled me and my daughter in, they were very nice and took a picture of us while we were seated. Finally we took off around the track. The track here is not very big but it was not noticeable because we had so much fun going around it. Our go kart ride lasted about 5 minutes (went around the track around 8-10 times) and they turn on a red light to let you know to bring it back in. We only purchased a ticket to go around the track once but you can purchase an unlimited pass for the day ( not sure of the price).
Finally we made our way to the mini golf course. As the owner stated he was right there in the check out booth waiting to hand us with our clubs and balls. He also offered us a sheet to keep score but we were just having fun so we did not need this. Although the mini golf area looks really small it has 18 holes total and they are all really fun. Not sure of the closing time here but we were the last to leave the park(around 9:30pm-- think they close at 9pm) -- but the owner did not rush us and he waited until we completed our game. Yes, I have been to bigger fun parks but the staff here and the experience we had made a difference. Really had fun here and it was well worth our time and money! read more
