The only worth while thing is the duck pinbowling. The mini putt was mid and the atmosphere was meh

I literally cannot think of a more egregiously bad execution of a good idea ever. If this place were run well I think it would be a huge success. Instead, they had a busy few opening months and have gone downhill from the already low standard they set from the beginning. One would hope these were growing pains, but after revisiting for my 4th or 5th time this past weekend I am convinced this place is going to shutter within the next couple years. There is so much wrong here. First, most servers aren't friendly, many are downright rude, and nearly all are borderline incompetent. Again, indicative of the poor management. Beyond that, literally every single idea is executed poorly. For example, the pour your own beer stations you require a wristband you can only get from the bar near said stations, not up front. So there's one place you can wait in line unnecessarily. Then, they don't keep on top of the kegs well and many don't pour well (very foamy). Another instance of unnecessarily waiting in line: we came 9 mins before duckpin bowling was to open on Saturday and we were only told to come back. They neglected to mention they were taking down a waitlist so when we came back after a half-round of golf (no longer manned it seems, so you can probably get away with not paying the high prices honestly), only to find out there were 7 groups ahead of us and the wait would be over an hour so we just left. Speaking of mini golf, the courses are already getting to be a in a pretty sad state and they aren't the greatest courses to begin with. They seem like they were primarily designed as fun Instagram backdrops. The windmill thing simply isn't running. Hotel Green offers a far better unique mini-golf experience. The duckpin bowling is fine though and priced reasonably, I will give them credit for that at least as it's the only thing I really can. The main bar despite being huge had like 10 bottles of liquor on the shelves total and of the approximately 20 taps, they only had 4 repeated beers. The bartender also told us that they're no longer doing specialty cocktails, another indication things aren't going so well, and to scan the QR code for the menu, but there was none on the bar and he didn't hand us one. He was rude the entire short exchange so we purposely opted to not order anything. I should note it was not busy at all. No one else was ordering and only 2 other people were even at the bar. Another miss: every person we've brought, every restaurant I've personally tried or our party has tried, which covers I believe every restaurant in the place has had food that is just okay. Completely unacceptable for a place like this, but also for a city that has a pretty well recognized food scene. I will say there have been times it looks like a lot of people were getting milkshakes from the dairy place, so that one place may be worth a shot. TLDR version: rude service, decor and activities already beginning to look tired, beer station selections are subpar and don't operate perfectly, bar is extremely limited and the food is okay at best. Now that I've brought many of my out of town friends and family here and every experience has been mid to bad, I don't anticipate ever coming back before it inevitably closes. read more

Fun place to come for a night out. Came for a special event and they had complimentary champagne with the ticket purchased. Line was extremely long to get in and no parking in the lot. Music was fun and appreciated that they had multiple bars, food options, and DJ stations. Would like to try some of the activities they offer next time we come. read more

Fun place to go with lots of things to do like mini golf, bowling, dancing, and more. Had dinner as well and burger was good. It was also a special price when we went. read more

This review is strictly for a private party event that we attended on a Tuesday evening. It was closed for our event 6:30-8:30. A large group of us were picked up from Marriot Hotel and brought here. This place is huge! You can hear music as soon as you walk in. and what's great about it, is their playlist! They play a wide variety of music of all decades that everyone loves. There's bars, mini restaurants, beer station, duckpin bowling, mini golf and more. Now with our private event, we had unlimited choices for food within each restaurant. We had our choice from pizza, tacos, sushi, burgers, chicken sandwiches, dessert, beers, you name it. I was told from one of the employees that they have a live DJ and dance floor. They have it nicely lit with nice decor. Great photo op at the entrance with the swings and greenery background. We had so much fun! read more

We did not try any food. We did mini golf! We honestly enjoyed our time here! There was no wait or issues. There was a DJ so the music was on and loud but we didn't mind. The place is huge! Different vibe for each area but I'd definitely come back! read more

Went to the park to see a comedy show with my mom. The comedy show was absolutely wonderful and my review has nothing to do with the show, but is based off of the park itself and the things i noticed while being there. I have been waiting to go and review the park because I understand that when a new business opens that there needs to be time to work out the kinks and that, a little bit of the hype needs to die down. Now that being said after going and seeing it firsthand myself I'm not necessarily sure what all of the hype is about. My mother won tickets off the radio for a comedy show that was being hosted on a Thursday evening. I thought that would be a good thing and that it wouldn't be so crowded. Well first off you have to find the place. Following the GPS does not actually bring you to the parking lot it brings you to the middle of the road in front of diversity thrift. I am a Richmond native (Luckily) and the park on the highway a lot so I had an idea of how to get to where the parking lot was. I found it strange that there were no signs, arrows or direction letting you know how to actually get to the parking lot. Once arriving at the parking lot there were only three handicap spots for the WHOLE building. They share the building and are located upstairs. Also those three handicap spots are located next to ramps, but neither of those ramps are actually located near the door. My mother found the step that was actually in front of the door, extremely high and difficult to get up. However the long walk would have been worse. Once inside, we were greeted and search by very helpful security, and they even escorted/helped my mother to the auditorium. The general manager saw that my mother was having trouble walking and opened the front stage access door to allow my mother a shorter walk, and to avoid steps. Once inside the auditorium we sat in the VIP section which was comfortable and spacious. It was suggested to order food and drinks outside of the auditorium and that you could bring it inside. However, once we were in the auditorium, we were told that you were only allowed to bring drinks inside. That then later changed and 2 waitresses were seen in the auditorium (they also were the waitresses for the floor. They did the best they could but that is a lot of ground to cover) and they stated that you could only purchase drinks. Then last but not least one finally changed we were told that VIP could have food and drinks. Luckily, we were in VIP and took advantage of this amenity and ordered from the menu that was provided. This is important because I later realize that depending on where you got your menu from it. Had different items listed. The patrons next to us had sushi delivered to them and I was shocked because sushi wasn't on our menu and I really like sushi. My mother and I both ordered chicken $12 apiece and when I asked him how much their sushi was it was only $8.00 dollars and it looked much better than what I had ordered. When we received our chicken, (which took forever) both the lemon pepper and the garlic parmesan were sitting in a very large amount of sauce/grease. I say sauce/grease because I am not sure if it was meant to be a sauce or was it just in an alarming amount of grease. I've never been served chicken that I have refused to eat but today is a new day. I took one bite and it was absolutely awful. Wet fried chicken is not something that should be served. I wanted to ask the waitress. If this is how it was supposed to be however, after a while, I realized that she had not returned. I eventually became frustrated and just got up and walked to the bar myself to order a drink, and at this point I didn't want the cold chicken any more. This also now means i missed part of the show, this however, led me to catch something interesting. When I went to the bar they told me I couldn't add it to my tab because the auditorium was on a separate system. Which is fine but when i went to pay i noticed that i was charged a different price. The first time I have been run up I ordered a Long Island iced tea and a liquid marijuana. They rang me up for too long island iced teas that were listed for $19. The next time I order the liquid marijuana I was rang up for a $12 drink which is an actual liquid marijuana drink in the computer system. Seems some of the bartenders were aware that it was in the system and others weren't. The the third time i was charged for it as a shooter for $9.00. All the same drinks all the same size however I was charged three different prices. When i brought it to their attention, everyone was extremely kind and tried to rectify the situation. Every single staff/personnel, we encountered was extremely friendly and helpful. read more

The Park - The Bowl - Mini Golf Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This place is cool but it was pretty clear there's a lot for them to learn. Space: clean fun vibe with multiple bars and restaurants and games Food: some good stuff some not good stuff. The hand rolls were good but they got my order wrong and the $15 price tag made its way up to $20 by checkout because y'all want a tip on food court style dining. The chicken sandwich was okay but nothing worth the $20 we paid for it. The pastries were...unremarkable. The cannoli cream filled pastry puff was just butter on a chewy bread. The cannoli cream in the regular ones had lemon in it which is not a good combo when paired with chocolate chips. Games: unplayable. There was a multi hour wait for bowling and mini golf was just as bad. No arcade games or things like shuffleboard or billiards either so it's mini golf or bowling and if those aren't available all you can do is drink. Staff: generally friendly but seem overwhelmed at times. Drinks: okay but outrageously priced, in particular the beer wall. I got a full pour (16oz) of a beer and it was $11. That ain't right. This isn't Busch Gardens so don't be charging $11 for a beer. $24 tab for two beers. Suggestions: 1: put a sign downstairs that says elevators are for disabled people only or do the security check in the lobby as multiple people were confused by this process. 2: improve wait times for food. 3: put time limits on bowling 4: add other game options like pool, pinball, shuffle board, giant Jenga, etc. read more

We came here in a Saturday at noon and upon arriving there was plenty of parking out front but when we left the lot was pretty full. Upon walking in there are steps to get to the place and there are elevators. Upon walking in there is a large bar and then bowling pins and then a big seating area with big screen TVs and self serve beers. There is a menu where you can go to the bar and place your order and then you can either go and pick up the food or they will bring it to you. I had a cheesesteak and my party had the chicken fingers and it was all good. We didn't get to try the mini golf or the bowling but it looked fun as well as the arcade section. Was fun and we will have to come back to try more activities. read more

This place has the potential to be awesome but it isn't. Great arcade games, virtual golf is ok, bowling alleys are cool, tons of bars and tons of staff. Also, there's TONS of security guards and staff advised "there's a lotta fights here". So ambiance for our group of 15 wasn't really our vibe. Food was meh at best. Gluten free options were not available and asking about it felt like a foreign language. No one was rude, but service wasn't very attentive. I'd love to go back because it could be a great time, but i don't think it's worth a return visit. The hookah lounge was empty until we left past 11pm, like seriously, the staff were on their phones no one was in there and they still wanted to charge people $300 to sit in there. With the cliente present that night, they was no way anyone was gonna spend that kinda money to sit in an empty room. We thought about it cuz we did have the money to sit in there, but we might as well have stayed home and smoked whatever we wanted lol. read more

I was really excited to check this place out since it's something new to do in Richmond. The good thing about this place is that they do security checks at the entrance which I really appreciated! There's something to do for everyone. There's mini golf, golf bays, bowling, and a karaoke room. There are many food options such as pizza, sushi, Mexican, a bakery/sweets shop, a bowl place, and a chicken sandwich place. The park also includes 3 bars and a pour your own beer section. They have a live DJ and a stage for a band. I wasn't super impressed with the cocktail selection. I ordered a Mural Project and it was incredibly sugary and overpriced. The karaoke room wasn't anything special considering it was connected to YouTube. For an 8 million dollar venue, I would have expected a karaoke machine or something cooler than just hooking a microphone to YouTube. I wanted to pour my own beer but it was unclear how the system worked. They should consider adding signage with instructions. Overall, this place has tons of potential but still needs some work. Worth checking it out for yourself. read more

The Park - Mini Golf Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This new "8 million dollar" food hall/hang out spot was very highly anticipated by many people in the Richmond area but after visiting for the first time I wasn't really that impressed. There are many food options here and about 3 different bars you can choose from including a self serve beer wall. Everything was pretty confusing at first and not many people knew how to pay for the bowling and mini golf and I only saw one staff member at the mini golf section. The mini golf area looked kinda fun but for about $20 a person we didn't think it was worth it as there were long lines between "holes". The "bowling" area was pretty pathetic and I wouldn't even call it bowling because the lanes, pins, and balls were about half the size of an actual bowling area. They also have a "karaoke room" which consists of tables and booths as well as a tv screen and controls for choosing songs through YouTube which I found kinda weird. The drinks were overpriced and not that great. Many of the "signature cocktails" had weak pours and tasted watered down. This place has so much potential but needs work and is better if you go with a group of people. Also not sure about the location as there's no other bars/restaurants that are walking distance to here. I'm interested to see the success of this establishment in the future. read more

This place is amazing and I'm so glad I went. If you ever been to ATLANTA, Ga it reminds me of ponce city market or colony square. They have like 5/6 different restaurants with great selection. I got the sushi which was really good. The tempura shrimp was the best then the spicy tuna, unfortunately the crab did not taste like crab. It taste like cucumber more than anything. My Bestie got the bao buns. The buns are so soft and actually tasteless but taste good. She got chicken, smoked rib and pork. All of it was good and would get it again. Make sure you come early so you can add your name to the list then go get food. We got food then add our name it was an hour wait. We did bowling which was fun but ended faster due to the lane length is shorter. So make sure you get 2 games minimum especially if you have two ppl. We finished the two games in 30/45 due to us taking little breaks for drinking and talking but if we didn't maybe 20/30 min we would of been done. They also have mini golf with really cool themes nothing like putt putt ! Drinker were great read more

Such a vibe. Bringing in the New Year here was a vibe! Hubby and I got there before 9 and it wasn't uber crowded. It's definitely a lot of space to take in during your first visit and you almost want to sightsee. The vibes was pretty cool. The food options are amazing. I ordered a truffle smash burger from the Smasharino spot and hubby ordered a few sushi rolls from the sushi spot right beside the burger/pizza place. Everything came up quickly and tasted quality. Service was great. The bars were pretty packed if you wanted a something other than a beer. I'm not sure if it was just New Year's that had them automatically adding 20% gratuity but we paid 35 bucks for two cocktails. The drinks were good and pretty but not too strong. There aren't clear cut directions for how to get the beer garden wristband so we asked one of the servers who guided us to the bar where we got the bands and put a card on file. There's a good variety of beer but only one stout currently. Still solid and not overpriced as you're charged by the ounce. read more

The Park is A new hipster spot in RVA that has more than enough to do. It's hidden near Diversity Richmond and offers activities for all ages. The indoor park has mini golf, bowling, live bands, a DJ, multiple bars and restaurants. The drinks are pretty pricey. I paid $11 for a mocktail. Although, it was tasty it was still expensive for a Virgin drink. The food prices are decent. Average $10-$20. They have several food options: fried chicken, tacos, sushi, burgers, and pizza. I had the carne asada quesadilla from a Mexican spot. I wasn't impressed, but my expectations were too high. Overall, it's a nice space with a lot to do. It can be kinda busy for someone that's easily distracted. I would give them another try. read more

5 stars for an AWESOME experience here! Went with my cousins for a night out; it's quite roomy and you don't feel crowded. There's bowling here, but it's laughable. It's the tiny balls and pins actually suspended up by cords. I could never. I DID, however, want to try the mini-golf because it looked SO cute, but being accompanied by several male cousins, they all thought it was TOO pastel and girly so we didn't get to partake in that either. So this review is solely on the bar experience, with a bartender that definitely makes like...top 3 I've across in life. We stupidly never got his name, but if he works Saturday nights and can solve a rubik's cube in under a minute and half, he's the guy. He was sooo attentive, crafting us his own personal delicious drinks outside of the menu, mad cool to talk to and sociable, and even played Hangman with us. If there's a bartending school then he graduated summa cum laude. Prices were great and we even eyeballed a delicious-looking (unattended) pepperoni pizza, which we did not get to try because we had to move on to the next place, but I have no doubt it would have hit the spot. Good vibes all around here. read more

I came here on a Friday night and I enjoyed that it was not busy at all. They had mini golf and duck bowling. My friend and I played two games of duck pin bowling and it lasted about 30 minutes and cost about $30 total. They have a self-serve beer system which I liked. Many beers/ciders/etc.. were available, although when pouring I noticed some beers would come out significantly foamy than others. The overall feel was pretty nice, although the music did get loud even though there weren't that many people there. (which can be good and bad depending on preference). I had a very pleasant experience here, and would definitely come back here! read more

It didn't start off great but seems like they worked out their issues. I will say it's a fun and expensive way to have fun with friends, family, or kids. they just jacked up their prices on games. um, the games are what draws us in and then we buy foods and the drinks. see how that works? but i guess you're running out of funds building your outside patio, no? read more

Came here for my birthday on a Wednesday night and expected it to not be too busy. For the most part, I was right, however, the duckpin bowling was a little busy, seemed like several Christmas parties going on. Although the staff at the bar were not super speedy, the food ended up being really good. The ranch tots were cooked perfectly, just the right crispiness. I got the impossible burger and it was seasoned perfectly, and had really good onions and sauce with it. We played mini golf, which was really well designed although the courses are very short so pretty quick to play through. It wasn't very busy on the mini golf Courses. Wednesday night has a really good deal for mini golf. read more

The Park seems like a great idea that is just being poorly executed. It seems like they are understaffed and oddly, on a fairly quiet Saturday around 12pm, their entire self-pour wall was off limits even though it appeared as though everything was working. The bar tender at the small bar did a fantastic job, but it was nearly impossible to get service at the main bar - again, due to understaffing. We tried the mini-golf, which was entertaining and the duckpin bowling, which was fun, but unless they can get the quirks worked out soon, I'm not sure how many times we'd try them out. read more

What a cool brunch. Richmond has a new place for a must do Brunch. It might be a little high at 29.99 each but it's well worth it. Talk about so many choices! Come very hungry. Layout out over multiple tables, it's almost too much to decide! Even taking sample sizes to taste test, they alone will fill you up due to the enormous number of selections. What a nice problem to have. I enjoyed the crepes and mimosas which were done to order. The food was freshly made, hot and very tasty. Several big bars so it can handle large crowds without a wait. The service was great. The servers helped each other out and was very helpful. No problem leaving a nice tip her! The sound system was amazing and the music was very appropriate for a lazy Sunday. Bonus is playing ten pin bowling after dinner. Great way to burn off all those calories. Great ambiance if not too big. read more

The Park has such incredible potential and is quite unique for Richmond. It totally adds to the many fun things to do in the city with the ability to cater to big groups who just want to hang out inside. However, it was poorly executed and fell short on many things . 1. It was extremely hot! No fans which led it to be a little smelly, like stale air. We were gonna stay and try the food but with the heat it was very uncomfortable. We asked the staff and they said they just found out a few hours ago that the AC wasn't on. (It's the end of June and it's been extremely hot the whole week) 2. The mini golf had a fun concept but it was dirty and poorly maintained. Not all the neon lights were on, they didn't provide paper or score cards to keep score. The cool drink stands were handy but placed in inconvenient spots, tbh they got in the way of us putting. Plus all the balls were the same color which made it hard to play correctly. 3. Loved seeing the beer wall, but sadly found out it's not running because it doesn't meet abc standards, what a shame 4. As we were about to leave we decided to use the bathroom. Unfortunately there was no soap, paper towels, and the air dryers weren't working. Overall, it was disappointing . We had such high hopes. Even though it was a Saturday early evening, there was plenty of staff nearby. Which would be great, but with the amount of liter and empty cups around I wish some would take the initiate to walk around and tidy up. The cornhole, arcade games, jenga was fun to see and would love to come back if the conditions were better. Along with some hand sanitizer stations. read more

I like this place. I went here twice. Yesterday I was here from 1 pm till 9 pm. They have like 6 food hall places, multiple bars, virtual golf, a karaoke room, a stage / theater they have been doing comedy shows at, mini golf, and bowling. While people do bring their kids in the day time since a lot of adults drink there I'm not sure if it looks / feels like a true kid friendly place. Though in a lot of breweries in Richmond a lot of people bring their kids so who knows. The mini golf is great. They have two different themes. The bowling had a 1.5 + hour wait time even though we tried to do it at 2 or 3 pm on a Saturday. Their music playlist is great. Their food is great. Two weeks ago on a Saturday at 7 pm we had to wait 1 + hour in line out the door in the cold just to get in. Also a big line that leads indoors and up the stairs. They have security which I can appreciate with recent events. Complaint: the music is way to loud even at 1 pm on a Saturday. Can the music be turned down before the evening? Even in the evening ideally don't make it too loud. I'm assuming everyone with their friends and family want to hear each other talk and not just have music blasting for hours the entire time you are there. Side note: looks like they are listed under Yelp as both "the park" and "the park Rva". Overall: worth checking out. read more

The Park has such high potential to be a top spot in Richmond but their execution is poor. A group planned to go for trivia for a couple of weeks, as advertised online, but it was five min past start time with no trivia. When asked they said it stopped but would be there next week, no commiseration for the disappointing news. They also advertised the World Cup game at 9pm in the beer garden, I left at 915 when it was it still hadn't been turned on any of the tvs. My double (house bourbon) was also a 20$ drink which seems excessive for house. Hopefully things will improve but as for now, nothing but a good spot to take pictures for instagram. read more

I was overwhelmed when I walked in initially. There was so much to do. The colorful neon lights were awesome, and there were several games you could play. From bowling to mini golf, it was like a sporty Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. There were multiple restaurants inside like a food court/dining hall. There was live music and so much going on. At times it felt like it was overstimulating, but I imagine it'll work itself out as time goes on. The bar was great, drinks were good and there was definitely space to accommodate a ton of people. There is truly nowhere else like this place in the city. read more

I visited The Park RVA on grand opening day and had a great time! It's located in the Diamond District and its 55,000 square feet of fun, deliciousness and entertainment options. There's duck pin bowling, karaoke for my singers and fair-themed mini golf for the putt putt enthusiasts and virtual golf! They also had a DJ and a live band. There's selfie gif setup for my friends who love the camera. There are lots of food options to choose from and multiple bars to drink from. I love the "pour your own beer" option with cold glasses at your disposal. 30 beer options to choose from on tap for the beer snobs. It's located in the beer garden section. There's something for everyone! This is great addition to RVA! Go check it y'all and show them some grace as they work through being a new venue. read more

Fun time and food was ok. The meet in my Philly sandwich was overcooked and dry, most of the manure food is fried.

I spent Mothers Day 2024 at The Park RVA. The waitstaff was very Attentive. The Food on the other hand was TRASH. The food in the Chafing Dishes were not Warm. The biscuits were hard and cold.
