    Mini golf had 18 holes
    Megan P.

    Had so much fun with our small adult group for a birthday meetup. We went for ax throwing and racing cars but also got to do mini golf, VR shooting games and bumper boats in the water with squirt guns. For 4 people and 5 activities on each of our cards it came out to about $180. My personal favorite was ax throwing which has different modes that you can play against each other. For mini golf, they have several areas with different themes but we chose the cowboy side over the princess theme and outside area. The workers at each station were all so helpful and happy to assist with the games, even on the super hot day that we came. We honestly had a great time and will be back just for the fun of it.

    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.
    Darli O.

    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!

    Axe Throwing!
    Jackie B.

    I celebrated my 60+ birthday here today with my family and it was sooooo much fun!! I told my daughter I wanted to do something cool for my birthday and Axe Throwing seemed pretty 80$ for 6 peeps to throw for an hour!! We played all the different games within that hour and it was great! We also played one of the indoor mini golf's rounds and it it brought back alot of memories. They still have projects going on that look like fun and I will be back to see it all and do it all, maybe not Laser Tag, for me but Go Karts for sure!! And always more mini golf!!! They have done an amazing job renovating the property and keeping all the nostalgia from my childhood and dating years, but bringing it into the future also! The fun, food and drinks are reseasonably priced, considering how crazy expensive everything is. And they have all kinds of packages$ or you can go ala carte like we did. Well done Bullwinkle's Upland!! Thank you for an awesome time.

    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.

    Estela V.

    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.

    Fun atmosphere, lots of games and activities for the family. Food is good and drinks are also very good. Very entertaining kids loved it. Will be back.

    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.

    See all

    Ask the Community - Bullwinkle's Upland

    Where can I find their pricing?

    My wife wants to go this place for her birthday with friends, is it fun for adults and are the prices reasonable?

    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?

    Just went looks closed permanently! Phone is turned off

    This review is long overdue! Held my baby shower here in October. I was stuck in the newborn bubble…read moresince I delivered one week after the shower. Katelyn is just an angel to work with. She is everything and more you expect from a hostess. She is attentive, kind and helpful. She has multiple furniture pieces you can switch out based on your vibe. Lux studio is such a hidden gem. Truly a stunning indoor architecture and it was honestly perfect size and budget for our event. She is also well connected with other vendors and made renting tables and chairs a breeze. Overall super pleased and I recommend this location to other friends all the time.

My…read moresister found it when we were desperate to find a location for a Celebration of Life service for my son. Hidden Oaks was perfect! We had a short time frame, a tight budgets (his death was a surprise, which makes for a surprise budget as well), and a whole lot of unknowns -- like how many guests there would be. That's rough event planning. Sheryl and our coordinator Lyndsay were incredibly flexible, kind, and understanding. I will always be grateful to them for this. We paid for the additional assistance of two staffers -- Helping Hands, for $20 per hour. Well-worth it, and they were lovely. Highly recommend. Lyndsay was an absolute SAINT putting up with all our question marks on this day. She was calm, professional, and had everything under control. Since I was crying half the time, I was very thankful for her presence. Our guests were blown away with how beautiful the venue was. Most guests were local and they were as surprised as we were! So here's what you need to know about this venue: --it is gorgeous, shady, clean and just lovely. Perfect for a smallish event of about 100-200, IMO. --it is disabled accessible, although it is a historical property. --you cannot hear the freeway at all once you are inside the venue --pricing is VERY reasonable and you won't have a catering minimum. --it has Padua Hills vibes, but the catering minimum there is $10K and you have to use their caterer -- no thank you. --big money saver: they have tables, chairs, umbrellas, and they set up of all that. You only need to rent linens. --There is a kitchen, but it is not really for cooking. More for staging and refilling. It has a commercial fridge and a freezer, so we kept ice and extra cheese and desserts to refill. The caterers used it, but we didn't cook there. --it has both indoor and outdoor spaces, which makes it great for rain plans. --there is no alcohol, no smoking of any kind, and music needs to be the Disney version. It is owned by a Christian church, so values need to align there. They mean these things. Respect this. For us, this was no problem, since we needed a sober venue for the respect of some of our guests. We simply printed a disclaimer on our invitations. --you probably need extra signage at the entrance because it is easy to miss. You need to allow time for people to get in if you have a lot of guests. --Cheryl was organized -- we had a pre-meeting where she gave us a tour and a folder of all the details (table sizes, rules, helpful vendor contacts, etc) In our case, we welcomed guests on the north side of the building, had an espresso bar on the west patio, then directed guests to the back yard where the gazebo is. We held the "ceremony" part of the event by the gazebo, but we didn't really decorate at all (we didn't want it to feel like a wedding). Then we invited guests into the house and to the north side of the property, where one would normally have a reception for snacks and socializing. There are lots of little rooms and places where groups of guests can socialize within the house. For us, that worked because groups of my son's friends could reminisce together in their own social groups. We had no real need for flowers, because the facility was beautiful by itself. I hope this venue helps!

When I first requested a quote, I recieved a response very quickly from Pro, the manager, and he remained available for any questions I had until I was ready to sign my quote and lock in my event (and thereafter until shower day.) When you request a quote, you'll be sent a questionnaire about what you'll need for your event (time frame, services, furnishings, etc.) so you know exactly what you're paying for when you get your price. There is a lot included in the price, but other than some standard items like tables and chairs, you'll need to rent, or bring in everything else yourself or with outside vendors. I did all of my own decor, had my family and friends help me set up, and we catered Porto's. There is a full kitchen with a stove/oven, prep area and sink as well if you're cooking yourself, we used the oven to warm up potato balls and stored drinks in the fridge and it worked out great. You can rent a cover for the kitchen if it's not your vibe. Here's some of the concerns I had before booking and how we overcame them: Concern: the venue is on the second story in a historic building and is only accessible by stairs. Solution: It is only one flight of stairs, and there is a break in the middle with ample room for a chair or bench if guests need a stopping point. I informed my guests of this ahead of time and had my husband help anyone who needed assistance, everyone was able to make it work. It was a little but rough carrying all of our own stuff up, but many hands made light work. Concern: there is only one bathroom for an event of nearly 90 people. Solution: Honestly, this was only an issue for us at the beginning of our event when people were arriving from far away places. Once the initial rush died out, there was never even a line for the bathroom. Concern: the space is very plain. Solution: The space does not have many bells and whistles, but I found it charming and rustic, and there's lots of opportunity to really make it as dressed up as you want with whatever theme you can think of. Also, the natural light from the windows on both sides of the building made things that much more appealing. Concern: there is no designated parking. Solution: the Electric Loft team was able to save some spaces directly in front for me and my set-up team, and then parking is open up and down the streets as well as at the nearby park. No one had any issues, save for some later arrivals as there was some kind of art event at another building nearby. There may be a little walking involved, but not so much that it made anything impossible. All in all, everyone thought it was a great spot and I've been recommending Electric Loft all over the place, and I'll continue to do so. Also shout out to The Splendor Co for my photo spot!

    Great event space -- just a little on the warm side once the party got going. I would recommend.read more
