    Came here with family and we had so much fun!! There' was stuff for everyone to do! Great food ! Try the funnel cake fries !! Strawberry frozen margaritas are great for a hot day when golfing! The arcade is so fun and the kids enjoyed the prizes !

    Mini golf
    Brian F.

    Boomers is a classic amusement park located in Irvine. It has attractions like go karts, laser tag, arcade games, mini golf, bumper boats, and batting cages. There's also a full bar and amusement park food like pizza. We played 18 holes of mini golf at night which was fun. You can pay for things individually or you can buy a bundle or unlimited pass. It's a casual spot that's family friendly but also good for dates and group outings. It's a fun activity for a couple hours.

    laser tag
    Becky C.

    I came to Boomers for a corporate event, and honestly, it was a pretty good package. We got unlimited rides, go-karts, laser tag, and 3 hours of free gameplay. The free games were the blue tap games, so you don't earn tickets, but there were still a ton of fun options. We didn't even come close to using the full 3 hours because there was so much to do. My favorites were the basketball games and Connect 4 basketball. We played a few rounds of laser tag, which was super fun, but a lot of the equipment seemed broken that day. They also couldn't split us into teams, so everyone was playing individually instead. The go-karts were really fun for a group we got a whole round to just our coworkers. Some of the karts definitely felt faster than others, which made things interesting. We also did mini golf, and the course was much bigger than I expected. It took quite a while to get through all the holes. One thing to note is that the rides don't always have staff standing by them. If you want to ride something, you may have to find an employee and ask them to operate it. Overall, there was honestly more to do than we could fit into the 3 hours. We didn't even get to everything we wanted to try. Despite a few operational issues, we had a really fun time and felt like the event package offered a lot of value.

    Never knew this place existed until this past weekend, it is expensive but if you stay for a few hours it makes up for it with the unlimited pass. This past weekend the downfall we had were two of the rides were closed down. Tons of parking, never had an issue with staff everyone was acknowledgeable, nice and explained how the process works. Bought the tickets online to save, this place has rides, arcades, and food. I suggest going right when it opens, the mini golf gets super crowded so the kids and I just kept playing in random courses to avoid the long lines. Surprisingly the food wasn't bad at all, it is pricey, but favorable. I also enjoyed the fact that the claw machine wasn't a scam like most places, my kids enjoyed the fact that they were able to win plushies that was the highlight of my time.

    Quesadilla
    Jessica H.

    Holy cow this place is expensive. So grateful to my dad for paying for us all to go. It's $50 per kid to have unlimited for the day, including 20 credits at the arcade, which barely covers anything. My kids loved the go-karts and the starship zero gravity spinning ride and laser tag. Go when it opens because it gets really crowded in the second half of the day. Boomers has been around basically my whole life so I'm happy for them that they've found a way to stay open all this time. Food reviews- expensive but pretty good. My bro liked the quesadilla, the kids liked their chicken, my dad liked his burger, and my other bro and I shared the nacho avalanche- definitely don't try to eat the nachos alone. They're huge. Also I added steak for protein- turns out they come with meat even if you don't ask for it (chili) so no need to pay more for that. And if you're vegetarian, now you know not to get those. The chili is kinda spicy and pretty gross so I wouldn't get those again.

    Pizza

    Lots of parking. Great service. Clean restrooms. Not too much for little kids under 5 to do. But this was a great experience. Came to a birthday party here. The Weber in the party room was beyond great. He went over and beyond. All of the workers for the rides were amazing except one girl. We didn't get her name but everyone there tried to avoid every ride she had to work at. If you're not going to be nice, find another job where you don't deal with people Other than that, it was a fun time. Nov 7 Sunday I beleive it was 3 or 4 pizzas, wings and two sodas and one kids drink

    Two mini golf courses
    Jordan H.

    Nice facility for a good time out for adults and kids alike. I've been here a few times the past year or so and have tried pretty much all of their offerings. Mini golf is $18/adult. There are two courses and each course takes about an hr or so. You can pay once and do both courses. I went most recently on a Friday evening and it was pretty crowded though, so I would say maybe half the time on the course was waiting for the party in front of you. Just keep that in mind. The go-karts are pretty standard. The wait for the go-karts can be long because the turn cycle can take awhile since the workers need to check if everyone is properly wearing a seatbelt, etc. The laser tag was solid. Sometimes the guns don't work so just make sure you test your equipment before the game starts, otherwise you really can't participate and you have to wait in line again (this happened to me once...). I would avoid the arcade games. They are too expensive. Some games are $2-3 just for one game. The batting cages are pretty neat. Not sure how many other batting cages there are in OC. But here it is $5 for a round of 25 balls. They also have bats and helmets you can borrow for free. Overall a decent place to hang out and have fun. It can be easy to spend a lot though so I would limit yourself to 1-2 attractions or just get the all-day pass. Even then I think the all-day pass is $45 so still pricey.

    Pulled up Carpet in front of the hole
    David W.

    This place looks fun from the outside but once inside everything is falling apart. Specifically I mean the outside stuff, especially the mini golf course. Every hole has messed up carpet that impacts the game.

    Shameful lack of maintenance of the greens on the mini golf course
    Jamie G.

    Have visited many times over the years. Many changes over time, some good. Last night I went with my teenage son and arrived less than two hours before closing which meant we each got an unlimited attraction pass for $29. This was a good value compared to regular prices. Enjoyed the go carts twice; attendants were very patient with customers and trouble makers. Cart track is super fun, carts ran well, fun competition! Bumper boats were closed; perhaps weather isn't warm enough yet or demand was low. Two fountain sodas at the snack bar were $13. Pretty outrageous. Tried to use the batting cages. Our unlimited pass didn't seem to apply however, which was disappointing, as our key cards were unable to activate the cages in two different lanes. We moved on to mini golf. Well lit and good music is the best I can say. Overall I can tell the courses have been improving from a maintenance standpoint but the greens are TERRIBLE. If you have to putt over broken turf or your ball gets stuck in a pit of death that used to be part of the brick border, it disrupts the fun and becomes frustrating. Seriously, Boomers. Put some of that ridiculous soda pop revenue into fixing your miserable astroturf. There were tears and holes everywhere. The arcade gets periodically updated but we didn't use it this time due to time constraints. Always had fun on the multitude of games available. Same with laser tag, we just ran out of time. Was not crazy about the process for golf putters and bats for the batting cages. There only seemed to be one person in charge of handing these out from the desk and they were stuck handling a long ticket line so we pretty much helped ourselves by reaching over the counter and grabbing what we needed.

    Separate, but you can buy a season pass which includes both

Parking is free, and there are plenty of spaces when their isn't other events or services going on at the same location. My first visit was for a family kid's birthday party, and we were all pleasantly surprised. The party itself was organized well and had its own area inside one of the buildings. We had our own area decorated (you can bring your own decorations, too), and the food was fantastic for amusement park food. We had pizza, turkey sandwiches, chicken tenders, soda, and punch. We had about an hour for lunch before being released to enjoy the rest of the park. Many of the staff were kind during the party and throughout the park and made the experience that much nicer. The variety of rides here will please most young kids and adults. There are a couple of roller coasters, a carousel, a train that circles once around the park, and many more rides. I'm surprised how much they fit into the park space. There is also an arcade and a petting zoo. For food in the park, you have the standard burgers, pizza, tenders, pretzels, churros, ICEE, ice cream, and more. The prices aren't too bad either. Plenty of snacks and merch to purchase, too. There are also plenty of places to sit and relax, with shaded areas. Especially needed during a warm SoCal day. It was the first time for many guests in our party, and everyone enjoyed the experience. Many of the kids want to go back and have their birthday parties here next year, too.

When you walk in, it's a little confusing at first since it's not super clear where to go and the place is pretty spacious.

After we paid, they told us the wait would be about 30 minutes, but surprisingly they called our names within just 2 to 3 minutes while we were still walking around. That was a nice bonus. :) They provided headsocks for free, and we didn't have to pay extra or sign up for any annual membership. Each race is supposed to be 12 laps, but if someone finishes early, you might end up doing less. One of the boys completed 11 laps, but didn't affect the experience at all. As we were exiting, we saw a podium area so kids hopped on for a quick photo. I've been here before for birthday parties and even with coworkers, and every time has been consistently fun.

Room was clean, bed bug free (I check thoroughly), and the AC works well. We had a toilet that wouldn't flush they sent someone immediately, he used the room ice bucket to pour tap water into the back of tank which was odd to us but whatever we didn't plan on using it (we had a mini cooler with us).

The Fireside restaurant was good, however if you have dietary restrictions I wouldn't trust them, the chef came out discussed restriction with us, and when food came out and after asking confirming 3 separate times yes it was gluten free only to have the waiter come back to the table and take it away because it was not gluten free. Lucky for us our friend had only a small bite and knew it wasn't gluten free. They brought out another they assured us was but by that point we didn't trust. The pizza place and breakfast buffet were fabulous and were able to accommodate restriction easily. Arcade super fun ask the workers about deals they were pretty generous and we won a couple of jackpots! Great ticket/prize set up not like chuckechese nightmare! Lazer tag kids had fun. Parking is ridiculously expensive $35 a day self park even if you are staying overnight. Still super good time was had by all, and no one got sick so that's great!
