    Came here for my son's birthday, we brought 4 kids in total. Walking in the place is huge, the line was not too bad and the cashier was very helpful, we bought the pick 3 package and the kids loved everything! They played: mini golf, which was great because it's indoors and that day was super hot outside but it was nice and fresh indoors. They have two different areas one is more for younger kids and the other one is for older kiddos and adults but I guess you can still play both if you wanted to. Next they played Lazer tag , then go carts, finally we ended up at the batting cages. The batting cages were throwing the ball too high in a couple of stalls but we were able to get an extra play for one that was working properly. And if you bring your water bottles you can refill them. I appreciated that since it was so hot outside. They also offer appetizers and pizzas and have a big area for your party. After the batting cages they played for about an hour at the arcade and had a blast. They also have bowling and floating boats an an option for activities, we will try those next time.

    Bullwinkle's in Upland is a fun throwback spot with arcade games, mini golf, bumper cars, and tons of family-friendly chaos. The western mini golf theme is neat and those tombstones, hilarious!! There's also a story book theme we will try it next time, or the other one. (Outdoor) We haven't played in the outdoor mini golf since about 2016 prior to the closure/remodel. The old Bullwinkles came back with a vengeance! Nicely updated! As per usual, our little one had a blast bouncing from game to game, and the neon bumper cars were fun, brought back the old carnival kid memories and the laser tag was definitely a highlight. It can get busy and the games add up, but it's a great place for kids to burn energy and adults to feel a little nostalgic. Solid spot for a family fun night. Not the cheapest place but a good short trip mini theme park that's local enough to be 15 min away from home is definitely worth a trip to have some fun every now and again! And don't forget to try the bumper boats! Take the kids they'll definitely enjoy and have fun, and adults too! lol

    Yummy food

    Bullwinkle's is great. This is the perfect spot for family fun or a gathering with friends. There's mini golf, arcade games, axe throwing, you name it. There's so many activities here that can be explored. I actually met my husband here, in our first date. I may be biased because of that lol I am a fan of Bullwinkle's! The food isn't half bad either. I recently came back with some friends. We played mini golf and it was really fun. We hit the western indoor golf course. It was fun! Just a little warm. We were sweating. They need to crank up the air conditioning. It gets super hot and stuffy in there. Other than that, it was fun. You can keep a score card if you want. I got two hole in ones! Total luck lol

    I honestly didn't expect to have as much fun as I did at Bullwinkle's, but this place pulls you right into the nostalgia the second you walk in. It feels like one of those spots where the energy is already buzzing before you even touch a game card. The staff was surprisingly upbeat for how busy it was and the whole place had that lively, chaotic vibe in the best possible way. Everything looked clean, the arcade was actually functioning, and the food came out faster than I thought considering the crowd. I got that classic theme park feeling without having to drive halfway across California, which is already a win for me. What I really loved was that you could tell people were here to genuinely enjoy themselves. Families, teens, grown adults who clearly came to relive their childhood for a minute, everyone was just in a good mood and the place kind of feeds off that. The outdoor attractions were running smoothly and the staff kept things organized without making you feel rushed. Even the pizza, which I fully expected to be forgettable, was surprisingly decent, especially when you're already riding the high of beating someone in air hockey. The whole experience ended up being a lot more fun and easygoing than I expected, and it made me realize why people keep coming back. If you want a simple, upbeat day without overthinking anything, Bullwinkle's in Upland does the job really well. It's one of those places where you walk out smiling even if you didn't plan to. Perfect for a family day, a cute date spot, or a random afternoon when you just want to feel like a kid again.

    Took my 19 and 8 year old to the batting cages. Seanna O. and the young man were awesome. My daughters bat was too heavy and they made sure she didn't miss her pitches while getting her a lighter bat. I recommend (1) $7 set for small kids who don't usually play baseball. I bought (4) $7 sets to have 2 for each kid. My 19 yr old used 3 and 8 yr old used 1-all for under $30-great price if you ask me.

    Manager and security talked to this dad who was BERATING a poor employee who told him it's not safe for his son to ride he's too short.

    Jacob and Santiago you guys rock! Came here for a birthday party and the service he provided was amazing! Jacob handled a whole party by himself and he was so patient. Not that there was any issues, but it can be overwhelming On the other hand, there was an unruly father who would not take no for an answer. Santiago had to get the manager and security because some dad was arguing with the poor employee about not letting his son go on a ride because he was too short. The manager came with security two separate times and he still would not listen. Thanks Bullwinkles , thank you for keeping us safe!

    Western theme - Indoor miniature golf, 18-hole course.
    Mary F.

    Bullwinkles in the city of Upland has upped their game (literally). It has something for everyone; Rock climbing, laser tag, bumper cars, bumper boats, indoor and outdoor miniature golf, go-kart race track, bowling, arcade, food/drinks... You can easily spend an entire day here exploring and experiencing all the different attractions they have. I brought my entire family for an indoor game of miniature golf, we chose the Western theme 18-hole course. I was impressed with the construction of this particular course. The aesthetics of it all, they spared no expense. The only negative: it gets crowded and waiting to start the next hole takes longer than expected. With that said, finishing a game could take a couple of hours. There are benches at every hole and slim tables to set your drinks on. Nonetheless, it was a great time. I would suggest paying a full day of play here, it makes better sense than paying for one attraction especially if you're going as a family, cost is per person. Staff at the front were friendly and helpful. It's clean, parking is free, great local place for kiddos and adults. Have fun!

    I was in town and wanted to play arcade games and realized this place had many more. when you walk in you pay for everything and its loaded on to a card. i started at the go carts it was a line but it went by quick. after i went play the arcade games. they were limited and some didnt work hut they had basketball, air hockey, and racing. sat at the bar to just chill and have a break which is nice. this place offeres so much, go karts, axe throwing, virtual ride arcade and more. definitely recommend for a fun night out.

    This is the perfect place for quick family fun. Since they added upgrades, I heard good things about it and decided to take my son. The ambiance is cool, there's a bar, food hall and a nice arcade. Outside is they go carts and mini golf. I paid $35 for 3 different activities. We started with golf and it took about an hour to finish it. The line for the go carts was super long and I didn't have the patience to wait. The good thing is you can reuse your card when you return. I would recommend bringing the kids here for some quick fun.

    Rocio R.

    Loved it. Adults and kids had a blast. Parking was a bit hectic. Lines are a bit long. We got the 3 option package. For 5 of us it came out to 170 something. We did the laser, go karts and western mini golf. We were there for almost 3 hours. Paid 20 for two small beers. We didn't try the food but it looked good.

    Complete Rip-Off and Abysmal Management! What a rip-off this place is! And how poorly managed it is. I called on a Monday to reserve a party for my child for that upcoming Sunday (8/2). To my surprise, I was told they were completely booked up and was offered alternate days I declined since I was only visiting family and specifically needed to host that Sunday. I was advised I could still come in, grab tables on a first-come, first-served basis, and just do everything à la carte. I really wanted the party package because it's a much better value--especially since I was hosting 12 kids. When I arrived at Bullwinkle's and got our tables, I noticed ALL the party rooms were completely empty, despite being told they were fully booked! I went to talk to the party sales team, and they were incredibly rude. They just brushed me off with, "Sorry, we don't know what conversation you had with Kaydeane, the party sales rep." I explained that I was told the date was fully booked, yet the rooms were sitting wide open. After pressing them further, they finally admitted it was a staffing issue. I asked them to honor the party package pricing as a gesture of goodwill considering I was misled, especially since I didn't even need their empty party rooms or dedicated staff to host us. They refused. I tried explaining that paying customer shouldn't be penalized with inflated à la carte pricing just because they failed to staff their venue properly, but they just couldn't grasp basic customer service. Unreal! With 12 eager kids already on the way, I had no choice but to go ahead. The entire visit was a total disaster: * Absurd Pricing: I spent over $900 between food, attractions, and arcade games. * Broken Games: At least half of the arcade games weren't working and were just eating our credits with no way to get them back. We even loaded credits into games only to find basic equipment--like the balls--completely missing! * No Support: We couldn't find anyone to address the issues. Even if I had complained, the incompetent staff clearly didn't give a flying F, and nothing would have been done anyway. * Greedy Policies: When we asked for simple water cups, we were told they "did not have any" (lol) and that we had to buy $4 fountain drink cups just to get tap water. Seriously?!? What a poorly managed rubbish of a place with ZERO customer service. They literally had 10 employees standing around the cashier area doing absolutely nothing and unable to answer basic questions--staffing that easily could have been used to run the party rooms and honor packages. Save your money and take your kids anywhere else!

    This remodel is WAY better than expected!! My husband and I were blown away. The expansion has brought in everything - bowling, arcade, 3 mini golf courses, axe throwing, bumper cars, go karts, laser tag.... EVERYTHING! Great for a birthday party or date night. Love that is great for families! Kids of all ages. The western mini golf was our favorite. I do wish staff did a better job at cleaning inside the golf courses- there was empty cups throughout the course. But overall we are coming back!

    Yes

    Do they serve any adult beverages?

    Yes they offer alcohol.

    Do they sell alcohol?

    They do not! Currently concessions are lacking too. They have soft drinks and energy drinks but the construction is making the food and drink options less

    Is the new track open yet or is it still under construction?

    Still under construction 🚧

    How is the arcade? Do they have any fighting games? Back in the day their arcade rooms were the best.

    They are re-building the entire Bullwinkles it's going to be awesome. We'll have to wait till the reconstruction is completed and they reopen. Right now they're closed for the rebuild.

    Are the mini golf courses open?

    Yes. They have 3 courses currently open. One inside and two outside ones

    Are you open?

Always plenty of parking here and the location is super easy to find. When we arrived there was a long line of people, but our friends were already checked in and we just had to get our shoes. The lane we were given was a decent size, couch on either side for each lane. I do like the surfboard tables, but they were kind of in the way and narrow with the table next to us every time we got up to bowl. Especially since the other table had pizza that was sticking out and I was nervous to knock it over every time I got up. We did unlimited games for 2 hours, that gave us enough time to get about 3 games in. I noticed plenty of balls were already in the ball return, so not sure if people go grab balls, or if they are just placed there to grab from. There were plenty of size options for the balls BUT I hate that we had to share with the lane next to us because they were eating pizza and grabbing the same balls and every time I went up the ball felt super greasy and gross. Cosmic bowling was really cool! Fun music videos and movies and other videos being shown on the screens down the lanes. I was expecting it to be darker inside though and having the black light pop out more. Inside also has a bar, food to order, arcade area, bathrooms and saw some people celebrating their birthday. They go all out with a neon sign and you're given a bowling pin that everyone signs. So that's cool to know if you plan on celebrating here. The manger was also kind and gave our friends coupons to come again and bowl two free games on their next visit so I thought that was really nice! All in all, I haven't been bowling in a minute, but it was fun to get together with friends, have a beer and just have fun!

My kids bowled with their friends for 2 hours and had a fun time. They play MUSIC VIDEOS, which is cool but also distracting and some of it not age appropriate in my humble Christian opinion. Maybe turn the music videos off or make them in less screens. I probably could have asked for my screen to be off but the kids were not paying too much attention to them I guess. We had a nice server checking on us and she asked if we wanted anything to eat and we could open a tab. It was nice to be waited on so we didn't have to leave the kids to go order. I'll come back again and bowl here it's clean and convenient (although our station had some little trash and table wasn't wiped, i asked and it was promptly cleaned ). Thanks Bowlero upland!

Plenty of the lanes available too, and with that a large selection of balls. The lights were dimly lit in the place, and folks of all levels were playing that night. Fancy high-powered spinning and frequent gutter balls, we were squarely near the lower end of that spectrum. Different game modes on the screen included cartoons/animations of bowling pins, sea creatures, and comic book characters, which added some charm to an otherwise similar experience. At one point, the guys on the lane to the left gave us some good pointers, though I cannot say I will bowl enough to retain any of the muscle memory. All in all, a nice way to spend the evening.

We decided to switch to shuffleboard and that's when the issues started. We had originally ordered micheladas with modelo negra with our server, however when we started ordering from the bar, the bartender stated that they didn't have that beer. Not an issue but it just seemed weird since someone else from our group had ordered one 10 minutes before that. Then the bartender had an attitude when my friend tried to order 4 drinks for our group because apparently every single person had to be there to order their own drinks, even though we had already ordered with our server. Also not an issue but the attitude we were receiving was unwarranted. Then the real issue started. We went on with our night and they announced at 10:15 that this was last call and the last drink would be served at 10:30. We go to order a final round at 10:19 and the bartender says that last call is over. We think that's weird but finish playing our last round of shuffleboard. At 10:30 the manager announces that last call is over. My friend went to speak with the manager about the bartender lying and being rude and we were met with even more rudeness from the manager. The bartender yelled at my friend that he would meet him outside (I'm assuming to fight). Two of our other friends stayed back to try to speak with the manager and the bartender lied and said that what happened wasn't the case and that they were out of tajin (which wasn't asked for) and that we came after 10:30. Not once did the manager take anything we had said into consideration. After seeing how low the reviews for this location are in comparison to other Big Al's locations, I'm not surprised as to why. Not only do they have staff members that threaten physical violence, but they also have managers that think that behavior like that is acceptable. All in all, if you feel like you'll have a good time getting lied to, terrible service, and threatened, this is the perfect place for you. If you care about your family, I would not recommend coming here.

We ordered multiple alcoholic drinks, a beer bucket, and food. The cook was very kind and even made wings for us though he was about to finish -- he was the only positive part of the night. The issue was the bar staff. The bartender was rude from the start. Later, I asked for a simple cup of tap water and was told they only sell bottled water (Arrowhead). I explained I had already purchased food and alcohol and just wanted tap water. Instead of handling it professionally, he whispered to another bartender and directed me to a man behind the bar. When I repeated my request, I was told, "We're trying to make a profit." That response was unacceptable. After spending money there, being treated like a problem over a cup of water was disappointing. I was eventually given a very small cup. I also ran into a friend who mentioned the service here is consistently bad, so this doesn't seem like a one-time issue. If you value respectful service and basic hospitality, I wouldn't recommend this place.
