Adventure Landing

Probably one of the worst «amusement parks» I’ve ever been to. The place is so run down with only 3 – 4 employees who all seem to hate their job so much they don’t even put in the effort to make it an enjoyable place. EVERYONE from the management to the employees are ridiculously rude. The manager claimed he couldn’t give me a refund on the tickets because his employee who sold it to me had already left and didn’t give me a receipt. The water for the bumper boats was disgusting and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned ever. We had to walk around and look for attendants because their were none at any of the attractions. The batting cages stole our tokens and the gentleman we told laughed it off knowing it was broken. Only 1 of the kids go karts worked with the worker claiming the others hadn’t passed inspection so they only had the one. The only thing we really enjoyed here was the actual full course go karts. Sad sad place. Word of advice don’t waste your money here.

Place is kind of dumpy. They have a concession area that Iwanted to get a coke from. The line did not move so I left. I went back again and stuck it out. Maybe 7 minutes. I am not sure what is going on but they don’t care.

Terribly mismanaged business! young staff is «led» by incompetent management who was not only unwilling to address my concerns but became argumentative when I provided feedback on the workers were allowing certain people to skip the lines waiting to ride the go karts. Shame as it HAD the potential to be a fun local family attraction.

The inside gameroom smells like bare feet. There is no money being used to maintain this place. The putting area has stagnent, non circulated water fountains, broken lighting everywher, & broke putting holes that don’t return the balls, but they have provided a pile of balls you can use, once your ball gets stuck. Duck poop everywhere. No one is measuring the height of the riders on the go carts, kids that can not reach the pedals are not using the breaks at all, slamming into other riders on a regular bases to stop. The lights to warn everyone to slow down are burnt out. This place will be closed very soon or will have a lawsuit against them due to someone getting hurt bad. I will never be back to this once fun place to take my kids.

We almost didn’t come here after reading the other Unilocal reviews, but it was so close to our hotel we decided to try it. While it may not be the best miniature golf /​go kart place I’ve ever been to it certainly gave our kids several hours of entertainment.

This place is HORRIBLE!!! I came here with my two daughters on a time where it was not busy… waited 20mins in line to pay, waited over 30mins for our food… all we ordered was chicken tenders and hot dogs… the girl at the front counter did not know how to place orders… kept asking and going good back looking for help. This place is pitiful and sad.

DO NOT GO HERE — YOU WILL GET HURT!
I only gave this review one star because I couldn’t go any lower. I went to this «fun zone» with my father and my two children (age 8 and 5). Half of the games didn’t work — I had to go to the front desk at least six times to ask for a refund of my money. The food was sub-​par at best.
When we went to pay for the bumper cars, we asked about height restrictions. They measured my son and even though he clearly didn’t meet their height requirements to ride alone, we were told «he would be ok» and to just go back to the bumper cars (they told this same thing to the family in line behind us also). However, when we got to the actual bumper car area to ride, we were informed that he couldn’t ride alone (surprise surprise) and that we had to purchase an additional ticket for me to ride with him. Of course we couldn’t purchase tickets there — had to go back inside. While getting ready to ride, we noticed a bunch of go karts that looked inoperable but didn’t think much of it. However, even the ones that were «operable» looked greasy and dirty. We started to ride and as my father came up behind my cart (with my son beside me), he motioned me to pull over because he saw gas leaking out my car. I immediately pulled over and in the process, the gas splashed up into my son’s eye. All of the workers just basically stood around and watched this happen. Even though my son was crying and there was obviously something wrong with him, they didn’t know what to do to help. I had to rush to the front desk myself and demand a first aid kit.
At this point, we had had enough and demanded to speak to the manager. After waiting around for at least 20 minutes, the manager came out and asked us to fill out a liability waiver. She could have cared less that someone was actually hurt in his establishment. Once she handed us the form, she left. We sat around for a little while longer, tending to my son’s eye and then asked to speak to the manager again. Our intention was to ask for a refund on all money spent. We were informed that the manager had actually left for the night. LEFT! Without so much as a check in to make sure that we were all ok. The manager’s name was Angela Ingle.
All in all, we spent around $ 40 and they refunded us $ 20 (what we spent on the go karts).
I would NEVER recommend going here and certainly not with children. I have filed an OSHA complaint as well, for unsafe working conditions/​safety violations.

A complete dump. 50% of the games didn’t work. The guy that runs the go karts was late to work so we had to wait an hour to ride them. Don’t waste your time.

I am generous with the rating because this arcade is dated, most games are out of order and the prizes are a joke.
On a positive note, the staff told us one of the mini golf courses was handicap accessible but we did not personally verify if it works for someone in a chair.
We wouldn’t come here again, especially when there are so many other options nearby.

Broken games all around.
We ordered fries and 40 minutes later they were ready after checking on them twice. They were undercooked and looked gross. Got manager involved and got a refund on them.
They only had three carts running so my party of four just did minigolf which was okay.
Has lots of potential but needs new management ASAP.

Sorely needs investment. About half of the games are broken or only partially working. They can’t staff all areas so you’re left just grabbing your own bat and helmet with the honor system. The staff is nice but you can tell they always have to go the extra mile to compensate for broken stuff everywhere. The two batting cages we tried ate our tokens and we never got to play. Numerous games also ate tokens. You lose about 20−40% of your tokens through this process of trial and error. I wouldn’t mind if they put an out of order sign up but they don’t. The kiddie rides outside were also not on or manned.
Just hire a mechanic and give him a budget. This place needs it.

I’m fairly certain the lower reviews for Adventure Landing were from people who visited on a day when it was super crowded; full of screaming kids and their annoyed parents. I came here with 2 kids and 3 adults on a Saturday around noon and it was an average experience. There was a Unilocal check-​in offer, one free game of mini-​golf, and we definitely took advantage of that. The course we played on was clear of debris and was actually pretty fun. A lot of the indoor arcade games didn’t work, which would be a bummer if you came here for that. The go-​carts were running full force and there wasn’t a line. This isn’t a top-​notch amusement park, but if you need to get the kids out of the house this would do the trick. Just do yourself a favor, if you pull into the parking lot and it’s full, tell the kids there is a pea-​eating contest and everyone that goes in must participate.

This place definitely has the potential to be a fun spot, but it needs some serious work. I liked that it had 4 different putt-​putt courses to chose from — you can come back several times and not «get bored» with it.
If you go during the day, you’ll probably enjoy it much more than I did. While the courses themselves were pretty good, I’d say about 30−40% of the lights around the course were either broken or burnt out. One of the holes was so dark we actually used our cell phone lights so we could see where to aim. I guess you could say it made for some extra difficulty?! The worst part was the trash that was all over this place. Wrappers on some of the putting greens, empty cups and bottles sitting on random places … it was pretty bad. If they simply fixed the lighting and cleaned up the trash, the Putt-​Putt would definitely be a lot better.
As far as the go-​karts portion goes, I only have one word: AVOID. They only had one poor kid working the track, and there was only a whopping SIX (yes, 6) karts functioning the entire night. So that made the line of about 40 people take FOREVER. Seriously, we probably waited almost an hour. THEN some juvenile delinquent (seriously though, what 12 year old wears a shirt that says «DEEZ NUTS») ran his kart into the guard rail and got a front tire stuck under it, which shut the track down for another 15 minutes. By the time we got out 1^st ride, the place closed, and they wouldn’t let us use our second ride. Of course, no refunds are given so if we want to use our second track pass, we’ll have to come back to this glorious establishment a second time. Looks like I’ll just bite the bullet and lose the $ 7.50 each for the unused go-​karts.

We came here with a group of friends to go putt putting and go karting. If you print a coupon off their website you can get a buy one get one free coupon (valid on one activity-​one per person). Thank God we did that because I would never pay for this place after our experience.
Putt putt was ok if you like run down courses along with not being able to see your ball. Nearly half of the lights were out on the course. In addition, trash was everywhere! Do people not believe in trash cans? Also the radio station they played aired a commercial for male enhancement medicine. Ummmmmmn families are here people! Awkward as it was heard throughout the entire area!!!
We also decided to give the go karts a try with our buy one get one free coupon. They had only 6 karts running. There was a line of about 50 people and it took us nearly 45 minutes to just get on one. Half of the go karts will break down on you, while the other half will barely make it up the hills. By the time we got off the go karts we had about 10 minutes lefts before the park closed, however the employees refused to allow us to ride again. Most employees are teenagers so you can understand how willing they were to stay an extra 5 minutes. Seriously?!
Don’t even both trying to get a refund here. Not worth the hassle or your time, but don’t worry you can use your coupons another day. Ha
The only pro to this place is that it’s cheap, but that’s also a reflection on how poorly this place is ran.

What a poorly run place. If you’re looking to go somewhere you will get hurt, go ride their go karts. My sister in law was injured there two years ago and they promised to fix their karts, one with broken brakes slammed into her, and train their employees better, no one who worked there tried to help her. But they haven’t changed anything. Today witnessed kids too small on the large karts running into people. The employees took too long to help a stranded kart with a little kid in it blocking the road. They didn’t stop the other karts, so someone slammed into him, and once they turned him around, the employees drove the wrong way head on into the karts to go back to the start. Awful!

Took my family here because my older kids were dying to go gocart racing. If you go to do that, you will have fun. Of coarse some of the carts were faster than the others, but it was hilarious to watch them race and they enjoyed it.
After reading the other reviews I want to say;
The bathrooms were clean. The entire place smelled clean and looked nice.
Only 1 of the 3 token machines worked. I got $ 1 worth of tokens to keep my baby busy while the bigger kids rode the carts. Out of 4 tokens, 2 of the games took my tokens without playing the game working. So, you have a 50% chance of your coin getting taken. I’m sure you could get your money back. I didn’t bother asking. The golf looked fun, as did the bumper boats. They have about 30 different coin play games inside.
Overall, wasn’t nearly as bad as I was afraid it was going to be. The kids really enjoyed the gocart racing.
The cost was about $ 70 for my big family of 5 to ride 3 times. That’s a bit much I think, but I have no clue. It was good for a special occasion.

The workers were pleasant enough, but the real issue is the actual facility.
Ordered a small (kiddie) drink and a regular drink. It was 7 dollars. Yikes!
Attempted to play the basketball games and there aren’t nearly enough balls inside the games to shoot more than twice within a few seconds. The glass boards that are supposed to keep the balls from rebounding out of the corral were broken on both the games, so if you missed, the ball would either bounce back at your face or behind you and into the walkway or the dining area. Why add unnecessary danger to a place already filled with kids running around all over?
Went to go hit at the batting cages and one of the two helmets we were given had no padding around the ears. They were sprayed with Lysol, at least. Out of the 9 batting cages, only five were working. None of them were marked out of order, though. You just had to spend a token and then walk all the way back to the counter when it didn’t work.
Some of the seats in the dining area are in extreme disrepair. I mean, I get that it’s not supposed to be a five star restaurant, but is it too much to ask that the stuffing under the vinyl covering not be completely exposed and filthy on at least a quarter of the chairs? The sanitation grade looked decent, though. So at least the chance of food poisoning is low? And the kids seemed to like the pizza.
I know it’s a kid place, I get it. But because of that, I would expect it to be relatively safe. This place fails at that.

If you live close, and have young kids, okay. Maybe. But don’t drive far for this place. I played two rounds of mini golf. We arrived soon after opening and were greeted with soda and water containers, money, leaves, woodchips, and pinecones littering the course. Buildings on course were in disrepair. Light fixtures (don’t see how they could possibly work) had exposed wiring and were broken. Had to play around broken plastic apparatus on #7Frontier course.
Surprisingly, the bathrooms and eating area were spotless.

The review is in and it’s a consensus, this place barely makes a blip on the radar for family fun and entertainment. My family and I spent a couple of hours here and boring comes to mind… my children said this not me. The atmosphere and décor are sad and gloomy, the food is horrible and you can see the look on the staff’s faces that they don’t even want to be there. The staff isn’t pleasant and customer service is the last thing on their minds.
Granted there is some positives from Adventure Landing, there are plenty of activities, games and you can have children’s birthday parties here but I wouldn’t recommend it to those that value their children’s happiness.
At this point it’s a foregone conclusion that I wouldn’t recommend this «fun center» for you. There are better options in south Charlotte and beyond.

Wtf! This place needs a lot of repairs… they have games that are halfway way working …& on the miniature golf course some of the holes are eating the balls. Wow this place has to be the WORSE miniature golf course I’ve ever seen it leaves and all sorts of bullshit all over the course … THIS PLACE SUCKS! A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY… WILL NOT EVER COME BACK HERE… but whoever owns this place is making BANK off the bullshit… Sorry to be so colorful in my wording but I’m in disbelief that people patronize this place… My niece and nephew still enjoyed themselves… But overall THIS PLACE IS HOMEMADE BACKWOODS BULSHIT…
