Paradise Mini Golf and Fun Park

The most welcoming place to come for family fun! The staff is incredible, especially the management who noticeably put great time and effort into the company. The courses are very enjoyable and well kept. The bumper boats will always be a blast and I think the time is plenty long enough, considering you are spraying water at each other the whole time. The arcade is filled with fun games and great memories. The cafe is always delicious and will forever be my favourite icecream spot. Also, the big shoe is a great place to have children’s birthday parties. Over all, this place is exciting, well kept, inviting and welcoming for the whole family.

HORRIBLE OWNERS My husband and I took my son in to play. I was served by a grumpy middle aged couple (who I later found out to be the owners). My son is 3, and whenever we drive by this horrible place he is so excited with the castle, the blue water, and the shoe. We decided to stop by to play a course of mini golf. I was greeted politely by the female owner, and I just paid for my husband and I. The male owner just threw two adult golf clubs and two balls on the counter. I asked if my son could have a putter and a ball, but I was told "if he plays, he pays."..... what?? I am going to pay about $7(!!?) for my 3 year old to play 2 holes? Most places either give a putter and ball, with a paying adult, or offer a really cheap rate. My husband spoke up and said well, please switch my putter to one for my son, but then we were told "players only on the course". How unreasonable... Like there was no one there... I ended up just paying for my son, and I was wrong. He played one hole, not two. "NO REFUND" signs are everywhere, so I didn't bother. Then we went and played in the arcade. The girl working in there was really sweet, but I felt bad for her as half the games needed to be fixed. The male owner stormed in the games room, just as my son was running to a game, all excited. He snapped at my son not to run. I get that children should not be running inside, and I was just about to speak to my son about this. DO NOT parent my child for me, and if you feel that you must say something, speak kindly to children. Don't snap at someone else's (especially a customers???) child. We regret even spending a cent here. Will never support a business that treats paying customers this way.

I wish I could give 0 stars!! The owner is actually extremely rude to both employees and customers. Literally called me and my family "the most confusing situation he's ever had to deal with" simply because we didn't understand how the groups work (like for the pricing) and then barked at the employee to "deal with us because he's done". Shocking experience and we ended up leaving due to this man's behaviour. I've tried to post this to trip advisor multiple times and it seems like it always gets blocked. I'm happy that most other people have had fun, but he was shockingly rude and unprofessional to my family because HE didn't explain something clearly. Oh well. We won't be coming back here, and it's funny because we were a group of about 16, and would have easily spent $100 (golf, boats, treats), and we live in Parksville so if we had liked it we definitely would have came back and spent a comparable amount. I am really angry about how we were treated, this was a horrible experience for me and my family. I don't know how this place has a 4 star rating. He will just try to take your money and be rude to you! Beware!!

We loved this place so much 4 years ago it was a priority on our return visit. 2 different mini golf courses, super fun bumper boats (great to cool off after golfing! But be ready for a wait), and yummy ice cream. Patio with shade umbrellas to stay cool.

Road trip destination since my childhood. 2 well-maintained courses, bumper boats and arcade, right on the main drag in Parksville. Good amount of free parking, cafe on-site, campground and hotel adjacent. You can easily spend an entire day here. Would be a 5 star but: - summer is crazy busy and the off-season is under-staffed - at least a third of the arcade games are out of order, no matter when we go Still, worth the stop just for the golf.
