The place is a dump. Half the slides/rides are broken or just not open. Needs a good cleaning and repair and maintenance. Employees were nice and competent but all seemed embarrassed about all the slides that were broken or not open. Just kept saying sorry, sorry, sorry. Definitely won't be back. Not worth the price. And they should tell people before they buy a ticket about all the broke and closed attractions. read more

Our family of 8 went over the weekend and this place is so run down and not worth the price. There is no where to sit, not enough shade, no grassy areas and no place to sit while you eat. It smells like sewage and everything needs to be cleaned up and painted. Most of the doors in the women's locker room are broken and the trash cans everywhere in the park were overflowing. Near the wave pool they have tables for large parties, but if they are not being used, open them up for everyone else to use. The lines for food are ridiculously long and the wait is a minimum of 30 minutes. Don't waste your time and money. read more

Admission fee is way too expensive. We went to night splash for the first time and was disappointed with the amount of rides that were opened. Not sure if more rides are opened during the day vs the night.. Not to mention $17 for a locker and no water bottles/ snacks allowed inside. read more

I used to come here in the 1980's and 90's. After so many years my little has been wanting to go inside the Golfland Castle that she sees when we pass by on the freeway. When we walked in, it felt like I was back in 1980's and my inner child came out. From video games to bumper boats to lazer tag... everything was the same. Even the carpet looked identical. My little one now asks about coming back here...and hopefully she will bring her future little ones here like I did with her. read more

PROBABLY WILL NEVER GO BACK BECAUSE OF THE WAY SOME OF THESE EMPLOYEES ACTED. First off most of the staff outside of the golfland were pretty much rude! I get it, its hot and no one is listening to lifeguards. I saw one women's daughter jumped into one of the slide pools, so the mom jumped in after her and the lifeguard started to yell at her to get out, while this women was trying to grab her kid. I saw a man fall into the kiddy pool while holding a baby, I was standing next the closet lifeguard and he literally did nothing. we were there all the way till the slides closed. my 8 year old was so excited to see the lifeguards at the end to say thank you, and when he said. "thank you so much, I hope you all get to jump in to." I was shocked by the snide remarks they said. like chill he's a kid that had the best day ever! be nicer. I for sure think they need a better system in the kid area it is way to chaotic, the poor lifeguard that was there where we were sitting, no one was listening to her. at one point I was there helping her tell kids to not get out of the pool by the slide and to use the stairs. PLUS SIDE: food wasn't as bad as everyone says. they don't match your ID to credit card to address at least they didn't with our party. kiddy area is huge with no height requirements for slide. adults were going down lol. read more

CAN YOU SAY Waste of money We took 5 adults and 6 kids. It COST just under $500. 1st of all, it says on their web page that all people must pay (no spectators). Dont be fooled into paying for adults and anyone not going on or using attractions/rides. The no spectator policy is not enforced, and there were many adults without wrist bands on the property. We paid for all adults, and only 2 adults used any of the attractions/rides. 2nd, if you buy the $6.99 video game upgrade, dont expect much. 1) it only works on 60% of video games (if the machine was even working). 2) The card is severely restricted to playing about 1 game every 5 minutes. If you swipe it in a game that is on but not working, it makes you wait 1 to 5 minutes to be able to start another game. (They purposely slow the game play down). 3) All of the 6 video game cards had lots of problems with using them. We went to the counter, and the young lady who said she was the manager (but refused to give her name) was very annoyed and condescending. 1)She talked to me as if i was stupid. 2)She even told me the card was not valid before even looking or trying the card. 3) she seemed very annoyed that I was there. The video game cards themselves were very difficult to use, and all 6 kids (age 9 to 15) gave up within 30 minutes. Now, if kids gave up that easily, you have to know it must have been lame!!!! The restroom was clean but very dark, so i would recommend not allowing your children in there alone. As others have said in other reviews, the employees here (and i now agree) are lacking in smiles, enthusiasm & and energy. What a shame!! Saftey hazzard pointed out to the so-called manger, and she replied they know, and it will be fine. Sure, until a little kid puts their finger get and gets shocked. Dont pre pay for food online. it's the same price at the counter and more choices. they make you feel that they give you a discount if you preorder they dont. as well as the pizza is way over price for frozen pizza. even now that every thing cost more. ( they also dont enforce there no food in the park rule as several people had outside drinks with them). I feel i am fair in all my reviews, and this place is a BIG FAIL for the money they charge. Try Urban Air. It's newer, all indoors, and better value for the money. ( I have no affiliation with Urban Air).......... read more

Very expensive, did not allow us to bring water bottles in. Had to walk to the mini golf castle to get wristbands and then walk all the way back to get into park. Staff was bland and unfriendly. Go to another park. read more

The bad is the price during the week it's between $33-$36 a person weekends are almost $50 a person (online) nothing has changed or gotten better since raising the price lines are still long and wait times for tubes still take forever I do wish we were allowed to bring our own food seeing as how Admission itself is very pricey the good is all kids enjoy it like normal sunplash is more of a one time thing during the summer due to its prices but kids love it read more

Review by my 9yo and input from me: The place was decorated for the holidays, but after sunset, it was hard to see the ball you were hitting and there were lots of places to lose your balls on the greens. I feel like there should be a net to catch your calls because even the people in front of us kept losing their balls. There are some where my ball got stuck and another ball would have to hit it out to dislodge it. They made it pretty cool because there was a Santa's Workshop one and there was a lot of variety and a bridge. The bridge was very fun to go on. They had an arcade and pizza. The small pizzas are dense and very big, so we split one for 4 people and brought the second one we ordered home. The arcade is super loud and music at the eating area, but didn't work well. We would return during the day again because it was fun, but not at night. read more

We decided to have a nice date night out to Sunsplash tonight and we wanted to do the go karts as the last thing that we did for the night we wanted to be able to do it alone after an incident that happened last time we did the go karts with other people. The sirens that tell you to stop had blared, and a kid behind us did not stop and slammed into the back of my husband who slammed into the back of me and I ended up having to go to the hospital with a concussion so we did not want to repeat of what happened last time . There was a group of four that walked up behind us, and we had let them gone first because we had asked the attendance if we could go alone and they said that we couldn't cause there was a group behind us. We kindly let the group in front of us go first and then they said that we would be able to go next alone and then a group came up behind us and they said that we can no longer go alone very disappointing night, which sun splash held their employees to their promises. read more

My friends and I decided to go to the waterpark to float around the lazy river for the 4th of July. We checked to make sure I wasn't going to have any issues with my holiday swim suit, I have the right to tan my thighs just as much as any women, their website said I was good. Just no thongs. I get it, it's a family place. Floated 3 times around, heard the life guards start talking crap about me over their super loud radios. I'm sure the whole park heard! They sent "management" over to tell me my swimsuit was inappropriate and I needed to leave. I already knew the rules, apparently better than the employees, so I told them to leave me alone, I'm not leaving, their rules said nothing about it. The supervisor left, got over the loud radios again, and told all the teenage guys to stop being so judgmental. As they were switching out the immature life guards, a skinny red headed one mumbled something rude (Google wouldn't like me to say here) under his breath as he walked by us floating. I'm sure he just needs to learn to accept himself, before he will be able to accept others, but I shouldn't have to deal with a "life guard" making me feel discriminated against, and uncomfortable, at an establishment I payed you to be at. My swim suit follows the guidelines. What drove me insane the most was he kept calling it a thong, when it's clearly not, and floating 10ft in front of me was 2, 40+ year old women, with their butts in the air, in actual thongs. When I pointed that out to him, he became quiet, and walked away. It's funny how discrimination works. Men have to follow dress code rules, and when we do it's still a problem. Women on the other hand, they can wear anything they want. I counted 6 women, in 2minutes, in thongs, on my way out, after the lifeguards made us feel unwelcome. What a waste of $100. Thanks. read more

I've visited Golfland and Sunsplash many times before with my husband, but have only played mini golf. This visit we finally decided to not only take our kids (there goes date night, ha), but also check out the rest of what the park has to offer. I'd advise to check the website before visiting because of special offers, you could save some money. We enjoy everything but the arcade which was not part of the package we purchased. I'm giving them four stars because there were a few times we waited longer than we should have for things that were open like laser tag and bumper boats. Also because we did not playvat the water park. However, shoutout to Monique for helping us and informing us about watermark area during the fall! Our family, especially my littles are looking forward to our return! read more

I really like Golfland. It's such a fun place to go. There's lots of stuff to do and the staff is friendly. I just wish the prices were cheaper. read more

Ill never buy a ticket from here again. I was charged to run my bank card for a security check. The management is terrible. None of the workers knew what to do because of a wrong dated purchase. Then had to wait an hour fo the upgrade called twilight. Went to go purchase the twilight ticket and was charged and extra $18 dollars. When it was supposed to be a $3 dollar upgrade. Half the park isn't even running read more

We booked an expensive party at GOLFLAND SUNSPLASH to celebrate my "tween" grandson's 13th birthday. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! Nearly half of the arcade games were broken (not working at all) the party pizza was good, and that's the "highlight" of the entire party. Please be prepared to pay OUTRAGEOUS prices for concession "junk food" This place is not nearly as well maintained and FUN as it was in the past (before it was temporarily closed down due to the COVID pandemic.) My advice save yourself lots of expense, and book your "hot fun in the Summer time" somewhere else. Thumbs DOWN! read more

Shame on you Golfland Sunsplash for not allowing outside food for people with medical disabilities(Celiac Disease as an example). As someone who has Celiac Disease it is not easy to have to deal with establishments not complying with the ADA allowing people to bring small reasonable amounts of snacks in. Especially in this Arizona heat hydration and having food in your system are crucial and you not allowing people who have medical conditions which they CAN NOT control to not bring in safe food is absolutely unacceptable. I agree with the person who commented that this needs to be looked into. A business should not exclude specific people's medical conditions that are recognized by the ADA. I will never come here, change your policy to be more inclusive or at least offer SAFE options. read more

I am a therapist and teacher for special needs children, and today I brought a group of underprivileged special needs kids here for a birthday party. It was the worst experience I could have imagined due to the incompetence and heartlessness of the manager Monique (she refused to give a last name.) First, the games were not dispensing tickets, and I asked about this I was told that it was credited to the card. When we went to choose prizes, the staff told us the kids has zero tickets on their cards. They refused to let the children choose any prizes (not even one small piece of candy worth 10 tickets), and the kids ended up sad and crying. These children are underprivileged and do not get this sort of experience often. How heartless do you have to be to do something like that to a crying 3 year old with Autism on her birthday? While we were doing the other activities we saw the manager Monique counting the candy behind the counter to make sure her staff didn't give the crying children any. Upon arriving we were also told that Sunsplash didn't open until 5:00pm (even though the google maps page said it opened at 10:00 am.) We were told to come back at 5:00 pm, and that we could get in using our pogo passes. When we arrived back at 5:00 pm, Monique forced us to pay $20 per person instead of using our passes like we were initially told we could. These families don't have that kind of funding, and the parents felt uncomfortable relying on me to buy their tickets. The special needs children were all crying again, and it was a disaster. I'm amazed that this place allows mean spirited candy tyrants to run a children's amusement park. The only good thing I can say is about a staff member named Gavin, who appears to be the only one capable of operating any of the rides. They had to get him to run laser tag, bumper boats, bumper cars, and go karts. I just cannot believe I spent almost $1,000 on this group outing for the staff here to be mean to special needs kids at a birthday party. Unbelievable. read more

Golfland Sunsplash - Crying special needs child. - Mini Golf Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This is primarily a review of NightSplash. While the park is definitely a fun time, especially in the evening, we were never informed that NightSplash means that over HALF the park is closed down. While crowds are maybe a TAD smaller, if at all, lines ended up being much longer than usual due to the lack of available rides. Additionally, waiting for tubes took forever, and once they became available, we had to lug them up to the top of each ride ourselves (no conveyer belts like other parks). Also one thing to note: towels are NOT provided, so be sure to bring your own. As a whole, though, it is definitely a nice park with lots of great attractions. But that being said, NightSplash is not entirely worth it. read more

I have been coming here for years, and I understand it's old, but this place has really gone downhill. The wave pool was covered in disgusting, large patches of what I can only assume was slimy algae. Basically everything is falling apart. Instead of spending the money on the new attraction, they are building. They should've invested into fixing up some of the existing attractions. Eek. read more

Park was clean. All but one slide was functional. Staff was friendly and attentive.

This place sucks! Not clean, the workers have no idea what's going on. Badly advertised on what is open and what is not.

It was a last minute decision because my family was out here and wanted to do something. It's open pretty late to... has go kart racing and swimming and mini golf as well as an arcade . Mini golf is what we played this night . Pretty cool I liked it but be careful you could lose your golf ball lol we did a lot and had to go find it or found someone else's who lost theirs .

GOLFLAND has deteriorated SO BAD!!! I've lived in AZ for 27 years and I'm pretty sure the putt putt has never been updated. The structures are wood rotted, the metal grates to keep the balls from going further into the water are not secure, the doors on the structures stick so the balls get stuck where you have to climb past barricades to get them out. The walkways throughout the course are uneven causing tripping hazards. #10 on the princess path (looks like a skee-ball machine), every group was getting their balls stuck and there is no way of getting them out. The prices have doubled over the years, but there's been no improvements to the course overall. The arcade has been redone, sun splash has gotten new attractions, but not a single update has happened on the golfland side. Get it together Golfland! read more

Came strictly to play mini golf and the experience was fine. The young man working the counter was too busy trying to get his female coworkers attention to even notice there were customers waiting so I took a deep breath. He rung us up quickly and with accuracy once his head came out of the clouds. We had a blast playing as a family. There are three different 18-hole courses, I believe. The one we were on was fun but definitely needed some maintenance and attention. The sidewalks could be power washed since the birds have really done a job on them, for example. read more

It was a blast! Went with the fam, and they are super easy to walk around and it wasn't very crowded. No rude employees and lifeguards did there job. read more

Fun place. Several courses to choice from. The staff is pleasant however the golf area is a bit run down. Just ball gets lost in the tubes. No roving staff for assistance. Some water hokes were empty. For the cost it should be in top shape. Large arcade area inside. Go Karts across the street. read more

Bought 3 "fun" passes for my family. If you define "fun" as standing in line A LOT, having limited access to video games because half are out of order, and playing only 3 holes of mini golf before one of the holes eats your golf balls, then go for it! This place was great back in the day, but sadly these days I'd say it's a hard pass. Unfortunate. read more

I love Sunsplash and I come back almost every summer! I enjoy coming to "nightsplash" to avoid the scorching hot sun. I've been to both Friday and Saturday nights and they are both just as busy. Pricing isn't bad and it's about $18 per person for nightsplash. On Fridays, nightsplash runs from 6pm to 11pm and on Saturdays they are open from 6pm to 10pm. Employees are usually friendly and some just don't want to be there, but hey, I would be in a bad mood too if I had to stand outside in 100 plus degree weather. Nightsplash tends to get pretty busy and parking can get a little crazy! The lines for the slides are usually pretty long, but they move quickly. The rides are FUNNNN! They do rent lockers! We paid $18 for ours upfront and when we returned the key, we got $10 back! Beware of wedgies... they will get you on some of the rides!! You are allowed to wear sandals but you must hold on to them when getting in the rides! read more

Packing list: Frozen sealed water bottles (coolers are allowed but only with factory sealed water bottles) Water shoes Lots of sunblock Towels (they are not provided) Download their app for deals, to easily access lockers, and to order food easily. It's definitely not required though. I loved the easy access of it though. I didn't have to pull my credit card out once. We ordered pizza from the Golfland area pizza kitchen. It was actually really good and done quickly. They do allow you to bring it in the waterpark, but only their food. My family really enjoyed our time here. We had some confusion about where to get tubes and which tube went with what slides. I would have loved for that to have been labeled better. We saw a lot of people in wrong lines with the wrong tubes so it wasn't just us. Staff was available and friendly when we had questions. There is plenty to do for all ages. Plan on spending the whole day here. There is a splash pad and slide area for 7 and under, another slide area for all ages, and of course the big slides. Definitely worth the trip. There are plenty of hotels and restaurants within walking distance as well. read more

Unfortunately, Yelp doesn't have the option of no stars so one will have to do for the sake of letting the public know what type of establishment this is. On May 19th, 2024, my sister and I visited with her 2 children. We had. 1.5 year old and a 3 year old. One of them has Sensory Processing Disorder and autistic so this was a completely new experience for him. When it came time to get wristbands, my nephew did not want to wear it as this creates discomfort due to the sensory disorder. Instead of being understanding and trying to find a way to make a reasonable accommodation as the ADA states, we were told that if he didn't wear the wristband, he couldn't go in. I was shocked that they were unwilling to cooperate with us to find another solution. In the midst of this, my nephew is in distress, crying and physically having a hard time controlling his emotions. We told them he was autistic and that he has a hard time with textures and wearing things as it causes him to become very upset. The woman with the wristbands was completely unprofessional and downright rude throughout this whole time. We had to pin our nephew down to get the wristband on long enough to make it past the gate before taking it off immediately. While I understand these are a safety precaution for who is allowed inside the park, this was no way to handle this situation. We've never experienced this kind of discrimination from a business before and will not be returning and ensuring others find another water park to visit also. We will be looking into filing a formal complaint and will pursue any other legal action needed so that no other child or adult has to go through this torture for the sake of a wristband. It is such a shame considering my family has spent many years growing up and coming here during the summer. I would advise anyone to reconsider going here and take your business to one of the other AZ water parks. read more

Let me start off by saying the only reason for 2 stars instead of one is because this place is pretty cool. My review comes completely down to the staff. They were the worst lazy rude batch of kids. We brought our child here for her 8th birthday on a weekday. So in regards to how busy it was, there was no more than 10 cars in the parking lot each time I looked that way. I bought the 3hr fun passes with the added 3hrs of video games. After getting our wristbands we walked 20ft to the bumper cars. Nobody there. After ringing the doorbell multiple times it took 10 minutes to get someone there. Then it took 5 min to get us up and running. Two of the cars didn't work and our wristbands wouldn't scan. Finally she was like, I know these are good because I just printed them for you and let us in the gate. Then we headed down to the bumper boats. Once again nobody was there. Had to ring the doorbell multiple times and wait another 10 minutes for someone to come. Basically this was par for the course the whole time. Now to the game cards that worked 3 or 4 times out of every 10 times we slid them. The card readers kept flashing red. Then you would uave to wait 30 seconds before sliding again. Then most of the times it was just red again. So basically you had to jump between games and wait 30 sec here and 30 sec there. What a freaking joke. I've never been to a place that have had card reader issues like this. Overall I tried over 10 or 15 games that would never take our cards. The kids were very very upset about all of the card reader issues. We ended up last in laser tag which nobody was there. One of the vests wouldn't work, then the girls scanner broke to set us up. Once again par for the course. Wait wait wait! For the staff issues. Every time a looked for them I would find 5 or 6 of them just talking amongst themselves. Staring at their phones or sipping on a soda. I would try to ask them for help and they would just flat out ignore me and keep chatting amongst themselves. It was almost comical the way they were. So for paying for 3 hrs, I bet we were held up for at least an hour of that time because of staffing. So if anyone that runs this place actually cares, please reach out to me to discuss. read more

Super rude and unprofessional stuff (at the spot where you get your tickets). Everything is old, some of the rides are closed This place need big renovation so bad and new management as well read more

The staff at the go karting was inconsiderate and had poor customer service, and to be honest were quite rude. My family met the height requirement when purchasing the tickets, but when we went out to the karts the workers said no. "They must be above the line" I would not waste my money here ever again. read more

We looked forward to having season passes here and we were so excited because this year was the year! BUT don't plan on becoming members unless you're willing to hand over you and your children's private biometric information. We had paid for full platinum membership and had photo ID and information ready. But the ONLY way members can enter the park is to release their private biometric information into Sunsplash's computer system and then have the back of their hand and wrist scanned. We asked if there was any other way to enter the park as members, but were declined. How disappointing! read more

For $50 avg per adult in a weekend and paid online, this is a fun place to take the family and teens will have fun. Ther are so many water attractions and the lines were probably abut 5-10 minutes of waiting. Buy a few days ahead for lower ticket prices. They have a great weather make good policy. read more

I would never ever spend my money in a place like this again. I thought the arcade was so run down and dirty. I just can't believe the prices and still this place looks like this??? Shame on the owner of this establishment. The employees all look so unhappy and I'm guessing I know why. Management. I spoke with Jenna and a lady named Shannon and they couldn't be any ruder when I asked them where the letter rating for the kitchen was. I'm guessing it was because the rating below a C with the way things looked and tasted. I also spoke to a woman named Monique when inquiring why half of the games didn't work in the arcade and were charging soooo much money. She was also extremely irritated that I would ask that. I think they all have a contest going on who can be the rudest to customers and I would say it's a tie!! Overall, a huge disappointment. Don't spend your money there!!! read more

Dakota was the sweetest!! He helped us the first time and then noticed the second time that my son didn't have his headphones. He ran to find them and brought them to him.

Took my two year old grandson out to golf. Since I'm a golfer and have a lot of equipment at home. He always wants to get into my stuff. I figured this would allow him to have some dun with golf. He had a great time, and actually played all 18 holes. He loved the Halloween decorations. And really enjoyed dinner afterwards. Going to bring him back again. read more
