Adventure Landing St. Augustine — Attraction in Saint Augustine

Compared to how I've seen this place last time I came here nothing quite like says new management like a modest but effective facelift. I'm not kidding, last time I was here there was half the machines missing, a large pile of broken down whatever and an almost none existent prize counter. I brought my boyfriend and his brother here to show the disaster of what yet another neglected family fun center looks like and to our surprise, it was not only alive it looked like it was fighting to come back from the red.

There were some new machines, some old ones... some of which are remnants to a much more neglected era of business and with the Jank you expect. But the fresh ones are there and feel a bit livelier. The token package at $50 is 300 tokens (average is 16 cents a token at this point) which feels very adequate for a small family outing. On the machines that did break down, the staff members (Kendra and Jessica) at the time were really quick to address the issue whether it was to turn off a breaking machine, reimburse lost tokens, or even provide unpaid prize tickets. Overall, my family had fun and we really appreciate the attentiveness and the hopeful energy the staff brings. They really make the experience extra special.

There still feels a way to go in some regards, but I firmly believe in supporting the change you want to see. This new management has me wanting to believe and invest more in a place like this.

I think this is worth a good fun afternoon.

If you make it this far, most action games take up 4 tokens, while most simple ticket based games range from 1-2 with the exception of the newer ticket dispenser games which still hang out at 4 tokens but also have potential for much higher yield.

The Raptor Toss game that is literally in every arcade ever is completely Jank and will often bounce the ball back to the launcher but if you play it right you can get a lot for a single token. Combos seem iffy as to if they actually register but it seems like all attempts are worth 5 tickets. Also for some reason it currently seems set to give you 5 balls per token.

When Loading Tokens in the Angry Birds game, drop the token into the slot don't push it into the slot otherwise it may not register the token. The chain that brings the ball to the slingshot is operating slightly faster than normal and thus will throw the ball in weird places - thankfully the game knows this and you won't miss your turn. Just be patient.

One of the best ticket to token ratio games is Crossy Roads. It's pretty straight forward, but you literally get a ticket for every step. Just take your time and don't try to run through it and you'll reap high rewards.

There are a few claw machines with ticket values that are good, they seem more like placeholders much like the remains of the Raptor Toss or that single ball drop (which you shouldn't play, it's never been worth it in any arcade IMO) but be prepared to wait in line for those from some of the more local veteran claw jockeys.

Minigolf course was clean when we went, didn't get a change to test the Go-Karts. ...

• Please LIKE & share our reviews. * Wheelchair accessible except for mini golf. We have never been here but read reviews. We decided to kill some time here and have fun with our kids....and boy did we! There are LOTS of places to lounge and sit at picnic tables outdoors for any folks who simply rather observe the festivities. Grandma can sit and watch the smiles flash by on the go cart track without any trouble. There is a batting cage and an arcade. They also had a snack bar on site. Prices were okay. They weren't great but we did a little groupon search. Lo and behold, we scored a sweet deal for all 4 of us to do 3 different attractions for $60. We did mini golf and then hit the go cart track with a vengeance. With each activity the staff crosses off a circle on the wrist band. With each track ride you can go around the track for 5 min. Our kids were little so they used their go cart turns on the tot track where they are able to drive themselves (Lord, help us). The other 2 remaining on our bands after mini golf, were spent riding as passengers with us. The kids got to ride double the amount of times with our bracelet passes. They spent a total of 25 minutes of riding on the different tracks. (Wowzers.) There was a birthday party crew there that afternoon and I asked a few of the moms how it went because we had read reviews about issues with the birthday parties. They had 0 complaints & the kids from the party hungout with us. There were 3 party goers left and they lapped us and let us know it. Lol. Lil punks.. They had figured out which carts were the fastest. We checked the prices and parties are definitely a sweet deal in comparison to what other locations are charging at the local skating rink, Chuck E Cheese ect. We just might do our next birthday here. As for the arcade, the prices seemed okay and the prizes weren't junk like most places. There were a couple machines down but we did notice a young man repairing them on site. The batting cages looked intense! If my kids were older, we would have definitley given them a try. There were about 4 different cages and only 1 occupied. Bathrooms were pretty clean especially for it being a weekend. We were impressed with the overall organization and cleanliness of the place. Kudos to the management on that! The gals at the counter were so sweet and helpful to us newbies. That really made us want to return. The go carts were definitely worth returning for. If you got time to kill and wanna do something fun & memorable with the fam, this is the place to do it. We spent just over 2 hours...

We booked a birthday party back in August for October this year. We spoke with Jessica and asked questions to her at the front desk, and she seemed very annoyed and short with us. Last year we had booked a birthday party there with Kayla and everything went very smooth. We did not get a confirmation a few days prior before the birthday party to make sure that everything was set up correctly. My husband had to call the day before since we have not heard from them to make sure that everything was good to go and she was very rude over the phone. She never responded back to my email about balloon colors. My husband asked them over the phone if we could come 15 minutes early to help set up everything that we had brought and they said yes. We get there the morning of 15 minutes early and they don’t open the gates until 11 when the place opens. They said that they were running behind and that they were sorry. We get in there for the party, and now I have to set up into my time for the birthday party. After the party started our host was very friendly, but had poor time management. They only brought the kids their pizza out after we had asked them to bring all of them out at the same time and then said that it’s gonna be another 20 minutes for the rest of the pizzas. When it was time to do cake and presents, she announced it over the intercom. The cake was cut, and I had asked her at that time if we’re going to have time for presents before go karts, and she said that we needed to specify a specific time for presents next time and that they will try to get them done before our time for our table runs out. She then comes back 10 seconds later and tells me that unfortunately we ran out of time and we have to get out and go to go karts now. When it came down to taking the birthday boys group photo with all eight kids, two of them were missing and she didn’t bother to let me know before taking the picture. Everything seemed so rushed and disorganized that we had to open up presents outside on the picnic tables because they were pushing us out for another party that was going to start after they were the ones that were running behind. We enjoyed ourselves last year, but this year was a total mess. It all boils down to the management, poor time management, and lack of comminication. I honestly don’t know if we will be...
