    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!

    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.

    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.

    Mini golf
    Vanessa R.

    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.

    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.

    See all

    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?

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!

The manager, Craig, was able to shift our reservation so the rest of our party could arrive without losing any time bowling together as a group. After we finished bowling, we decided to stay for dinner and let the kids play in the arcade. Craig was very willing to help us secure an area in the open seating so we could play games with the kids and have a home base for all 19 of us to gather and eat afterward. All in all, the staff at Big Al's was very pleasant and accommodating. Craig specifically made everything so much easier for our party, whether it was adjusting our reservation, helping us secure a table, or simply checking in throughout our visit to make sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely come back for future family get-togethers, purely based on the wonderful and attentive service we received.

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.
