My favorite game, The Lucky Duck, was broken (the claw wouldn't extend far enough to reach any ducks). I reported this to a staff member and she let me pick out any 2 ducks I wanted! The Pokemon pinball was fun too, I love the variety of pinball machines.

The gentleman that helped us at the front desk was very friendly and even allowed us to take a bottled water on the course and boy was I glad because it was hot. As a general rule though I dont think drinks are allowed. We didn't really venture in to the other areas so we cant speak to them. The course was challenging and fun and is very affordable. Only suggestion would be to update some of the greens as with some of the seams splitting it caused some precarious issues with putts and making par. The landscaping was beautiful although some of the ivy was creeping onto the courses. We bring our grandkids to the lake occasionally and now that we know about Adventure Island we will definitely be back.

Frankie's Review - 3/5…read more While in town, we decided to visit Frankie's after it was recommended to me by my boss, and this time I had my husband and 12-year-old son with me. Overall, it was a nice way to spend time together as a family and gave us something fun to do during our visit. Frankie's offers a good variety of attractions, and my son especially enjoyed the rides, including the claw, roller coaster, and zero gravity experience. We also played putt-putt golf, which was enjoyable, though I personally found the course a bit less challenging than similar places I've visited before. The road course was also on the shorter side, but still fun for what it offered. One thing I would note is that the pricing felt a bit high, particularly for the arcade games and rides, especially considering some of the experiences are fairly brief. We also found the pizza to be a little overpriced, so we chose other food options as well as their burger and Philly cheesesteak. Unfortunately, one part of the experience that stood out in a less positive way was the customer service around some of the attractions. Several of the attendants seemed very nonchalant and disengaged, almost as if they were not very happy to be there. That kind of energy can affect the overall atmosphere and, for me, made it less likely that I would return or recommend it. We also had to wait for attendants to assist with some of the more interactive 3D-style games, which interrupted the flow of the experience. That being said, one of my personal favorites ended up being the carnival 3D shooting game, even though we did have to wait for an attendant before we could play. Once we got on, it was definitely one of the more enjoyable parts of the visit for me. On the positive side, it was not crowded during our visit, which made the experience much more relaxed and enjoyable. I especially enjoyed spending time in the arcade with my family, and that ended up being one of the highlights of our visit. I also want to mention our experience in the bar area with Olivia Jackson, who provided such warm and pleasant service. She was courteous, attentive, and truly showed genuine Southern hospitality. Her kindness and professionalism made us want to stay longer, and we ended up enjoying our food and family time even more because of her. She was definitely one of the bright spots of our visit. Overall, while I have visited similar entertainment venues that I personally enjoyed more, Frankie's still provided a decent family outing and a different experience while we were in town. I would rate it 3 out of 5 stars.

Played the arcade games for a while and yes more expensive than Chuck E. Cheese haha but my kids enjoyed getting some plushies out from the claw machines and playing the virtual game . We reserved 1 lane for bowling the tables there were a bit too close together but that's probably expected since it's a small area with high stools and we have 3 small children so we finished bowling then went to the main area to get a table with regular seating to eat .

To partake in axe throwing, you are first briefed by a staff member on safety and technique. Once that's done, you are ready to pick up your axe and try your hand at hitting the target board. The staff member who oversaw our group is a great coach. There is a full bar available with menus at each table. Our group ordered multiple pizzas. As one who is picky with pizza, I can say that the pizza here is "good." I wasn't too excited about it, though I'm glad to have a slice. The weekday crowd was slim. I imagine weekends are busier. Overall, I had a pleasant time and would enjoy another round of axe throwing. Or I can sit in the lounge seats at the front, sit at the bar, or come when there's a major sports event on TV.

Several of the axe throwing stalls were open so we started there. Then we did the pirate putt putt, and it was amazing! The effort they put into the decorations and hole designs was evident. Next we tried out the arcade area, which is much larger than you would think from the outside. From there we tried the second putt putt area with a retro feel; even the music was spot on. We wrapped up with mini bowling and had a blast. The food is reasonably priced but nothing special. We would have spent more if they had a kitchen/ grill like you would find at a bowling alley. The drinks ranged from bottled water to sports drinks to soda to alcohol. Overall the building and equipment were clean and well maintained. The staff were very nice and helpful. The majority of the building is accessible, including the multi-stall bathrooms and activities like mini bowling. Other than the gendered multi-stall bathrooms there are several single stall gender neutral bathrooms but only one was in service when we went. The single stall bathrooms are located inside the entrance to the retro putt putt, inside the arcade area, and just before you get to the VR area.

We also did the mini bowling and axe throwing. You're able to pick what you want to do and there's even a package deal if you want to do a little bit of everything. They have a variety of beers and food options. From pizza to popcorn and ice cream. We tried a cream cheese stuffed churro. They are also setting up a whole VR room we were chosen to test it out. It's still under construction but once they finish I know it's going to be a popular choice. Lastly they have a huge set up for cornhole tournaments. We really enjoyed our time. But for parents to be aware it can be a little pricey to do many of the options they have. So do your research before going. Overall we had a wonderful time with the family.

They were both great with the kids. They helped them get set up on the video games, kept track of what kids were allowed to play what level of games, i.e., E, 10+, T, M, etc. They have a wide variety of games like Kinect Adventures, Kinect sports, Skate games, sports games and shooting games. The chairs that you game in are SUPER comfortable. The place is very clean, nice bathrooms, and good variety of snacks for purchase. I'd say that kids 8+ would have a good time here and I would do parent supervision for the younger crowd probably 8-12. The place is open every day, on Saturday they open at noon and stay open until 4am. Ladies night is Thursday and ladies play free from 6pm until close. I am sure in the evenings it is more of a young adult crowd and probably not kid friendly at all, but the young adult is really their target crowd probably anyway. BUT during the day, it was great for my kid and they really helped make him have a super birthday party. Highly recommend if your kid is into video games. If you are an older teen or young adult, I'd definitely recommend this place as it has tons of copies of most of the popular multi-player games. Open late.
