Said the shoes were not enclosed. However when I bought the go kart ticket they said it was not open toe.
Shirl S.

Went there the Sunday before labor day. Got there about 7pm. I was relieved to see the parking lot kind of empty. It was our first time here so I wasn't sure what to expect. From the outside this place looks fun. There's a water feature and the mini golf. Inside was a little small but it wasn't packed. We went to the ticket counter and I purchased 2 go kart tickets. The person at the counter informed me that everyone needs to have closed toe shoes to ride the go karts. I told her we did. I asked the person at the counter for a suggestion on buying a game card. She told me most of the games were 10 cents so I should be fine with a $10 card. I went against her suggestion and purchased a $25 game card. We went outside and stood in line for the double go karts. The line was pretty long. Apparently that's where the crowd was. After about 15 minutes the go karts pulled in. They opened the gates to let people in and I kid you not....our place in line did not change. After about another 10 minutes in the snail pace queue I decided it would be best if we played some games inside and waited till the go kart line subsided. Back inside I realized there were not many options for games. Also, the majority of the games were $1.00 per play. I guess the employee who told me most the games were 10 cents is new. Not many of the games were kid friendly. After about an hour we returned outside to the go kart line and it's just as long. There is a police officer standing in line. I ask him if he's waiting for a ride and he said "No this ride is closed." I am horrified. Its 8pm. How can the line be closed? Thankfully there was a family of 4 who said they were leaving so we were able to take their place. So we've been waiting in line for an hour. Literally. It turns out only 3 of the double go karts are in service. The ONLY reason I'm committed to waiting in line is because my son will have a conniption if we walk away. We get to the front of the line after an hour and the attendant tells me that my son can't ride because his shoes are not enclosed. I look at him in disbelief. So there is a huge problem with communication in this place because the person who sold me the ticket said no open toe shoes. My son starts having a melt down because he doesn't understand why we can't go on the ride. I ask the attendant if they sell swim shoes. He said yes. I run to the counter. They tell me all they have is kids size 13. My son is 3 and wears size 8. I buy the shoes anyway for $15.99, slip them on his feet like a pair of flippers and run outside so we can get to ride. The go karts are already going and the attendant takes our ticket and let's me join the group. We literally make 1 round on the track and it's time to come in. So I still have that other ticket. I go ask for a refund. I get it. The guy at the counter is nice enough to issue a refund for the swim shoes too. Hence the 1 star in this review. This place is a Hot Mess. An unorganized mess. I will not return.

The entrance ... excuse the pic from being turned sideways.

Super Duper fun once the kids and I got a hang of this place. We started with the bumper boats and then went on to the Go karts and then miniature golf. I have a 14yr old Son, shall I use emojis to explain... lol, just kidding but he's like any other teenager whom you have to drag out of the house while he holds on to the couch for dear life while scratching the filling out of it. And to top it off, we are watching one of our 10yr old nieces this summer and she's the same way! Nonetheless, these two came alive yesterday at this place (07/12/19) and we actually had great fun together. If I have to recommend anything, it would be to go on a Friday after 6pm where you can pay $17.99 per person for all unlimited access to the outside activities. Which is what we did and I must say, it was awesome and I loved the look of the mini golf course when it lit up at night. The place was easy to find, the staff (majority young) were friendly and helpful, even the managers and they made our experience that much better! Can't wait to return (really brought the kid out in me).

I'd say this place is mostly good for the 2 mini golf courses and go karts. BTW, you cannot have two adults ride together. Yeah. The significant other and I tried. Lol. There were also games where you can win tickets like Main, D&B, etc. But the choices weren't as vast. The batting cage seemed to the most unique thing here. There was also the bumper boats, but they were closed due to the season. It starts back up in March though. Overall, this is a cheap place for some fun, but don't expect much since the facility has suffered wear and tear due to aging.

Quite surprised this place is still standing after all these years. I remember visiting when I was a kid! They've added Buccaneer Cove now, which is a large outdoor water play area. I won't call it a water park, but it does have a slide and looks quite entertaining for kids under 10. I actually purchased a groupon...$23 for 2 champion passes and $46 for 4. The champion passed include unlimited attractions (bumper boats, go karts, and mini golf). It did not include the arcade and Buccaneer Cove (additional $10 pp). So for what I paid, I was quite pleased. It kept the kids busy and they enjoyed themselves. Their only complaint was the lines took way too long to get on the rides and the bumper boats smelled like urine! I'm sure a smaller child went potty on one of them and it wasn't cleaned. Overall I was impressed at how Malibu has held up after all these years. It doesn't look worn down. Arcade and bathrooms were maintained and appeared clean. The workers were nice and I'd take them back to visit with another Groupon of course. Otherwise, it would be overpriced.

Do they have batting cages still and what condition are they in?

Yes, they have many batting cages. They have different speeds and are in pretty good condition. You have to pay inside at the counter to access them. They also provide helmets for your convenience, some are in better condition than others.

Can I a 3 years old go on their own Kart? Thanks!

Thank you for your question! Go Kart drivers must be 54" to drive. Go Kart passengers must be 40" tall with an adult 18 years or older driving.

Is the place a good place for my 5 year old?

No this place is for pre teens to me

We had a group of about 10 people try this out on a Saturday around 11am without really knowing…read morewhat to expect, and it turned out to be an amazing experience. The staff was extremely patient and helpful--even when we didn't fully understand the concept after a few explanations, they encouraged us to just jump in and even walked us through a game. After that, we caught on quickly and had a blast. We were able to walk in with almost no wait, and anytime we needed a room it was less than 2 minutes. The concept is very interactive and fun--60 minutes was the perfect amount of time to explore without feeling rushed or burned out. Lockers with keys were provided, which was convenient. I understand why drinks may not be available inside given the tech and setup, but that's the only small improvement I'd note. A couple rooms had a slight odor issue, but nothing that took away from the experience. Overall, a solid 5-star experience--highly recommend for groups, families, or anyone looking for something active and different.

They had so many rooms with so many different games to choose from. My advice, dress comfortable because you will move around a lot unless you like losing! The staff was nice and all of the equipment was clean and working properly. They give an hour and a half and that seems like more than enough time to have a blast. I will be back with my kids this time!!

My nephew's birthday was held here and I must say it was a wonderful first-time visit experience…read more Not sure if it was because of the upcoming holiday but for a Saturday afternoon just before Thanksgiving this place was soooooo quiet which probably made this visit even better. Located just off Mansell and next door to Sam's Club, parking was a breeze and the only issue we had was due to built up traffic from Sam's Club when we were leaving. There was plenty of space for the kiddos to have the time of their life with bowling, laser tag, and arcade games. There's an obstacle course as well but I did not see anyone on it. I liked that there were two huge separate spaces for bowling and the graphics for the kiddos bowling time was festive and they had bumpers and this cute little dinosaur assist that they could use to push the bowling ball down and they loved it. The arcade space was huge and there were a ton of options for all ages. Unfortunately a lot of the games were not working so we ended up playing a lot of the same game multiple times. For those who win enough "tickets" there's a huge "Winner's Circle" room to select the prize(s) of your choice. The kiddos also played laser tag and had a complete blast! There's a huge restaurant space and pizza spot inside but both were closed at the time. The bar area was nice and there were a good people hanging around there watching games. There a big open space for those celebrating birthdays but no private rooms that I could see so while there were several parties happening at the same time, there were moments of chaos between kids from different groups being in the same space and the tables for each groups being in pretty close proximity. The person who was assigned to our group did her best to manage our large party but she was handling everything (food, drinks, taking any additional orders) on her own. Overall a really good experience andddd I really appreciated how clean the space was including the bathrooms!

(1) The bowling ball kept getting jammed which delayed our game on lanes 13 & 14. Our 3rd lane had no problems. (2) I was asked if I wanted my group to eat 30 minutes early due to them having a larger group that will be eating the same time as us, (we made reservations), (3) I was told they would get our order for which kids wanted pepperoni or cheese pizza, then they young lady told me I did not select it on my reservation; however, I told her I was told we would give our selection before you cooked the food, (4) the Air Hockey pucks did not come out when we swiped the cards to play and the balls did not come out for Skee Ball. It was very disappointing and I had the arcade game problems last summer with my camp. We will go to other choices of this same venue going forward.

I had heard about Battle & Brew for many years, but never got around to actually going. Me, my…read morewife, and our two best friends went one day after dinner. I had an idea of what this place, but wasn't exactly sure what it all entailed. We walked in and were greeted by a large shelf or should I say shelves of a bunch of different board and card games. We walked to the register and told them we wanted to play some board/card games. I believe it was $7 per hour and then $35 for everything else. Everything else means all the video/electronic games. Think PS5, Switch, PC, Xbox. It was sooooo cool seeing everyone play all the different games. There were bigger groups, couples, people by themselves. It's truly a place where anyone can go and have a good time! We got some drinks (they have a really cool cocktail menu). They do have a food menu too, but we just came from dinner, so we only got drinks. Our service wasn't the best though. It took forever for someone to come and check on us, and no one came to fill our water the entire time we were there. Service could definitely be a lot better! Battle & Brew is in a shopping center, so there is plenty of parking. It's also pretty big too, so there is plenty of seating inside. I would definitely come back here in the future and play some of the video games, as I love to play some Nintendo Switch!

Our visit was on May 16th, 2026. We had large group, which when we called ahead (4 hours ahead of…read moretime) they said that they couldn't take reservations. They told us that we would have to show up and just wait to be seated... fine. No big deal, again we are a large group coming in HOT on the weekend... I get it. We call ahead again, closer to the time we were planning to arrive to double check. THIS TIME they said they could reserve us a space and that it wouldn't be a problem. We get there and everything is seemingly fine. The vibes are good and the waiters are taking orders diligently. We understand that this is a huge group (16 of us) and that we would have to be patient with them as they are with us. So everyone puts in there orders. First wave comes out... I noticed that all the food is cold. Not ideal but the food was good so whatever. Second wave comes out, again the food is cold and peoples orders are missing. Fine. We are a big group, it happens. 3rd wave comes and they are seemingly trying to land the plane with us, finalizing anything that may have been missed while also getting refills. One of my friends that was a part of that first wave was still waiting his burger that he ordered (he had informed them twice at this point). 45 mins later the waiter checks on us again... My friend still doesn't have his burger. Cool AGAIN this is a big group... It happens. My side of the table who got all their food are ready to play some games now. We go to the front counter and there is seemingly a good cop/bad cop routine going on. One host says we can rent a station the other says we can't unless all 16 of go to that station. I told him not everyone wants to play games so what if we just cash out now then the 4 of us that do can just play/sit at the station. "YOU CAN'T DO THAT ITS AGAINST THE POLICIES" O....kay... whatever don't take my money, I then tell him I'd like to cash out anyway. "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" I can't pay you now? "THE TAB CAN ONLY BE SPLIT 5 WAYS" Huh? So not only was this not brought to our attention beforehand but you want to be a jerk about it? There reason was because some people run out on the bill and things get missed. Meanwhile the entire table is sitting here with their cards out ready to pay you? Not to mention if something is missed thats on YOU as you are the person entering the stuff into the system. Mind you we still have folks that were missing food or order was taken only for it to be sitting under a heat lamp. After some back and forth we paid (which they REFUSED to give us an itemized receipt) only for a smug waiter to come out with the missing deserts with creepy smile to literally say to us "I hope you enjoy it..." Nope. Not eating that. Matter fact we will never eat here again. This has been a yearly tradition for some Dreamhack attendees and I can wholeheartedly say that I'll NEVER step foot in here again more will anyone I associate with. If I could give it a 0 I would.
