It's a lottery with if you'll get a fast or slow one . The batting cages are really sub par. You have to basically stand 5 feet in front of the plate to hit the ball, otherwise it'll bounce on the ground before you can even swing. The worst part is, not every thing is open after about 9pm. I've been here four times over the summer and have not seen any of the carnival style rides open, the drift carts open, or the go karts specifically for kids. After 9 pm everything was shut down except the batting cages and the arcade. Overall it ain't worth going to. Go to top golf or main even down the road. It way better and way more consistent.and honestly just about the same price. Frankie's gets a two star Ps. Staff was not friendly or helpful. Overall lazy and just did not want to be there, which I get, but your paid to be there. Do better

There are varying levels of obstacles and zip lines on every course. Our favorite course was the zip line course, as it goes the highest into the trees and has the most speed for the thrill seekers :) The workers were helpful when needed, but mostly hands off otherwise. Because of the cool lock and safety system, it's really impossible to mess it up (unless you just totally don't clip in at all) and so easy to use and slide along from obstacle to obstacle. (see pics) We stayed for about 3 hours and enjoyed every bit of it! Highly recommended :) *Note - during the holidays, they have specials at a pretty big discount to buy tickets for the spring when they open.

The room we saw the movie in had you enter from the back and it was a slight incline down to your chair, no stairs. I don't know if they are all like this.

They have a waiver to fill out prior to you riding, which you can scan a QR code and do so while you're in line. It didn't work for me, so I filled it out at the kiosk during checkout. If you have long hair, they request that you pick up your hair with a hair tie. If you don't have one, they provide one right before you ride. Also, no bags on the ride. They have lockers for rental, but they do allow fanny packs/belt bags. Super fun experience if you've never tried something like this. Just don't expect Disney or Universal type vibes! This is rustic and in nature, and it was awesome! They do take a picture while you're in the ride, which is available for purchase in the gift shop upon exit.

Palmetto Amusements, thanks for ruining our daughter's New Year's Eve!…read more We were at the Famously Hot New Year in downtown Columbia on 12/31/15. We purchased the $10 wrist band for unlimited rides and were told the rides ran till 11:00 pm, plus the FHNY web site advertised the rides would run till 11:00 pm. My daughter wanted to do the bungee bounce, and the line was long, but we waited in line starting at 9:15pm. We waited, and waited, and at no time did any staff from Palmetto Amusements make any announcement or cut off the line. 10:00 pm passed, 10:30 pm passed, still we waited along with everyone else in line. Then at 10:50 pm, the ride operator announced that he would not honor anyone with a wrist band and only those with tickets. Well everyone in line had on a wrist band. Parents and the children waiting to ride were obviously upset. We all tried talking to the operator, but he had an attitude and said no one else will be allowed to ride and they started to tear down the ride. Again, prior to the 11:00 pm posted end time for the rides. One parent called someone she knew who worked for the city and is one of the event coordinators, and I went and got a Columbia Police Officer. Then some woman who I assume represented Palmetto Amusements arrived. After hearing from the parents, the city rep, cop, and rep from Palmetto Amusements all went and talked for quite some time. Now during all this discussion, Palmetto Amusemants could have ended this right there and said "let the kids who waited ride." The time they took listening to all of us then talking it over would have been plenty of time to allow the last few in line to ride. A professional amusement company would have done these things when they saw a long line and realized time was running short: one, they should have cut off the line at a certain time and not allow anyone new to get in line; second, if they wanted to limit those maybe holding a place in line, why not pass out a special ticket to each person in line at the last call time and say that you will need your wrist band and the ticket to get on the ride, and then close the line. But Palmetto Amusements does not seem to be a professional amusement company. While we really wanted our kids to get to ride, at this point we all wanted a refund of our wrist band. The lady from Palmetto Amusements said to me NO REFUNDS. I told her a responsible company would do what is right for the customers, but she again exclaimed No Refunds. So, at this point the Columbia Policeman explained this is a civil matter, but will take all our names and give us a case number for us to pursue a civil action. At this point I sent my wife and daughter off as my 6 year was falling asleep, and I would meet them after I have given the police officer my name. We were then told that the amusement company would give us our money back, but only because the city will then pay them back to keep us all happy and hopefully return next year for FHNY. I waited, then when I went up there to get my refund, the lady from Palmetto Amusemants told me I needed my daughter with the wrist band, even though I was talking to the lady all this time with my daughter there wearing the wrist band. I explained I sent them off to go, and she said to get my refund I would have to call them back. I said forget it and that I will get my money back by sharing this story about this company. So, Palmetto Amusements, learn how to run your ride lines, then do right by the customer, and not wait for a 3rd party to have to reimburse you for your mistakes. If you are having an event, find a better amusement company and DO NOT BOOK PALMETTO AMUSEMENTS. Otherwise you will have disappointed children.

If chaos had a happy place, it would be Frankie's Fun Park…read more We rolled in deep--pizza plates stacked like trophies, Coca-Cola cups multiplying faster than gremlins after midnight, balloons floating like they had their own agenda. The vibe? Birthday party meets family reunion meets "just one more ride." Food: The pizza was doing its job. Big slices, greasy in the best way, and absolutely necessary fuel before unleashing kids (and adults) onto go-karts. Nobody left hungry. That alone deserves a star. Party setup: Long tables, shiny tablecloths, balloons everywhere, and enough space to spread out without feeling rushed. It felt organized but still fun--like someone said, "Let them be loud, just keep the pizza coming." Go-karts: Listen. These kids took the track seriously. Focused faces, death grips on the steering wheels, living their Fast & Furious dreams. Outside track + night lights = elite combo. I saw confidence unlocked in real time. Rides & games: Spinning. Flashing. Laughing. Screaming. Someone always yelling, "WAIT FOR ME!" Another person waving at the camera like they're in a music video. Zero boredom detected. ‍‍‍ Overall: Perfect for birthdays, big groups, teens, families, and anyone who enjoys controlled chaos with snacks. It's loud, it's energetic, and it's exactly what it promises to be--pure fun. Would I go again? Absolutely. Would I recommend it? Already have. Would I leave with pizza grease on my hands and a smile on my face? Guaranteed. Frankie's understood the assignment.
