It was extremely busy and crowded, which is to be expected during the summer. However, even with many groups it moved pretty quickly! All of the holes had cute obstacles and were fun to play. At the end they give everyone lollipops - which was a great addition! The atmosphere is one of the best in LBI in my opinion. They even gave an award for best dressed at the end of the round. Whenever we go mini golfing again, we will definitely come back here!

As someone with a house in loveladies, we pass about 5 other courses to come down to Hartland and the trip is always well worth it. Going to tournaments Wednesday mornings run by the owner, Dave, is literally the best childhood experience imaginable, with tons of trophies, raffle prizes, and more for the price of playing a regular game of minigolf! After 25 years of coming here, I've only had great experiences with Dave. He's watched me grow and always greeted me with a smile when I'd come back after a while away. No creeps on this course, just some good ole family fun :)

My only critique is the lack of enforcement when it comes to group sizes. While there's a posted rule stating no more than four players per hole, it's not actively monitored. As a result large groups (sometimes eight or more) can slow things down significantly, leading to long lines and extended wait times. If this rule were enforced, this would be a five star review.

Fantasy Island is a great spot for some family fun…read more My boyfriend and I came with family and some little ones. Everyone had a blast. Tons of great ride options for all ages. The workers on each ride also did a great job. This place turns into a whole party at night - they even had a DJ. The kids really enjoyed themselves and it was great to see so many smiles all around. We didn't try the arcade since everyone was so tired from all the outdoor fun. Definitely give this place a try when the kids are bored, lots of fun!

I've been coming to Fantasy Island since i was a young kid in the 80s. I have visited throughout…read moremy life and regularly since I've had my own kids, now ages 9 and 12. I was there today and left extremely frustrated and disgusted. I know this place is a money trap- that's not my issue. I loaded $30 each on my daughter's cards and $60 on my own. They went through that money so quickly and this was a big activity for spring vacation so I added another $30 each to their cards. So $60 x 3=$180.00. In all, we played maybe 2 hrs and all the money was spent. We tried to get the 9 Wizard of Oz cards from the machine, only to find out one is super extremely rare and you can play a whole game to get the one missing card if you want but the game seems impossible. My issue is the 3 female staff members who were at the check out desk talking to each other most of the time and seemed annoyed when we came to get the incredibly underwhelming prizes. Turns out my 9 y.o. Had like 19000 points and wanted this tiny nothing toy and a slime that retails for $7.99 on amazon but cost 18500 points there. In the end we were like under 300 short for both and I asked if they could possibly overlook the pts and the two women were so incredibly rude. I get it- you don't owe me anything, I was just asking- but don't be rude. I've had other staff do this when it's not many pts and they can see you've spent a bunch of money. So my daughter put back everything and just got the slime which she had more than enough points for and the lady hands it over all rude like she was doing us a favor and didn't even mention she had like 600 points left. There was one younger male employee who was super cool and helpful. A little kindness and engagement goes a long way. Games are overpriced and the fun atmosphere from the 80s and 90s is long gone. They only care about money. Won't be back there again. Even my 9 y.o. Walked out asking why the women had been so mean to her, even before I asked for anything.

Arriving at about 4:30 we were one of about four groups playing. Very clean and easily navigable, the course is an easy way to spend an hour without breaking the bank. $8 per kid was very reasonable and the course let the dads partake in the obligatory instructions given to 5,6 & 7 year-olds. Since it was close to the house we rented, this was a no-brainer and we would return for sure!

We regard it the spot to go to when we are at LBI for our Anniversary or special dinner and we have done so several times. We were there in August of '25 and had great seats outside by the walk, although it is a beautiful setting you are right across from a popular ice cream store that gets very busy and loud with folks and children peering in to see what you are eating. Beach Haven is tough for parking as well and I had to walk two blocks to make it back to the restaurant. All said, if you are looking for a romantic special dinner spot, the Gables should be on your list but bring your wallet it is Prix Fixe at $130+ per person, add a bottle of wine and you have a $400 meal for two.

I attended a wedding here this weekend…read more The grounds are absolutely beautiful - definitely 5 stars. There's a lake right in the middle of the grounds - and the gazebo (where the ceremony was held) overlooks this. It's picture perfect and so was the weather. Looks like a nice place to play golf - and there were quite a few people playing. The clubhouse where the reception was - was pretty decent - although I have to take off for the bathrooms - they were disgusting (like toilets not really flushing - even at the beginning of the event). How can you have a nice golf course, beautiful grounds, and decent clubhouse and then have a nasty bathroom? Beer and wine choices were slim, but seems to be reflective of what's popular in Southern Jersey (I'm used to Boston choices).
