Lahey Family Fun Park — Attraction in South Abington Township

Overall a great place. We are a family of 4 and spent about $125 over 3.5 hours. GO KARTS: The go karts are fast enough to drift around some of the sharp corners and the track is configured in a way that allows you to pass easily. My 6 year old rode along with my wife and they both had a great time. Go Karts get 5 stars. BUMPER BOATS: Bumper boats were a lot of fun for the family. Bumper boats are notoriously slow and these are no different, but you can still have a great time. Bumper Boats get 5 stars. BATTING CAGES: There were several batting cages out of order, but the ones that were working were great. Each cage offers a selection of hard and softball options and my 6 year old was able to hit 6 out of 15 slow pitch softballs. Even though there were at least 4 batting cages out of order, we didn't have to wait, so I'll give the Batting Cages 5 stars. MINI GOLF: There are two mini golf courses, one easy and one hard. We didn't have a chance to play the easy course because the line was so long when we arrived. That should have been an indication of what the difficult course had in store for us. As a family we seek out mini golf courses and have played well over 50 different courses. The hard course at Lahey's was by far the absolute worse course we have ever played. This course differs from other 'difficult' courses by using varying slopes and grades instead of obstacles that require 'trick shots' to get near the hole. There were some trick shot type holes, but almost all of them had varying slopes that dramatically affected where the ball went. We were a party of four: two adults, a 12 year old, and a 6 year old. On multiple holes (probably 6 individual holes) all 4 of our balls ended up in the same place. Didn't matter how hard or soft you hit the ball; didn't matter if you hit a little to the left or right, everyone's ball ended up within inches of each other. This is a sign that the course isn't about skill, it's about gravity. Somewhere between the 9th and 12th hole all of us gave up. The party behind us simply walked off the course out of frustration. We finished, but limited each player to 5 shots each, for each hole. I'm going to assume the easy course is your typical mini golf course and would have been very enjoyable, but the difficult course deserves 1 star. ARCADE: My wife and I aren't into playing games in the arcade, but the kids are. There are a decent amount of games, some video, some physical (where you actually touch and throw a ball or do some other physical activity), and some claw games where you win a prize. From a parent perspective two things came to mind: 1. The games were not as expensive as many places we've been. 2. The variety of games was ample to keep the kids busy for a while, but there aren't enough that they wanted to stay in there for the entire day. Being in an air conditioned room was a bonus as well. Overall, the arcade gets 5 stars from the non-video game playing parents. For someone looking for an arcade with a huge variety of games that you could spend half a day at, this would only be 2 stars. Overall, Lahey is a decent value and a good place to spend a few hours with the family or on a date. Our kids said the go karts were their favorite and the batting cages were a close second. Wish we had a chance to play the easy mini golf, I'm sure it would have been worth the wait compared to the...

We had a awesome time! Date Night, Anniversary, Birthday celebration... My wife and I had a blast... The Falls putt putt course to the right, is easier and good practice before attempting the Mountain Streams course to the left. A lap around the go-cart track takes about 45 seconds... and the course is roughly 1,240 feet long on Google Satellite view. 27.5 Feet per second... or between 18 and 19 MPH average speed. The course is well laid out which a skilled driver can leverage to create passing opportunities. I found no need to let my foot off the gas, unless a driver ahead attempted to block my pass. Hammer down the whole time. The tail light on the carts in front of me indicated to me that several drivers were braking going into the turns. Pick the straightest line between the corners and you too can pass roughly half the pack. No, these aren't 45 MPH carts... but they are quick enough for even this Speedway Indiana native. If you want to race with your friends, get in cars directly in front of, or directly behind each other, as the carts are released in sequence. There is a separate lane for two-seat carts, so a single rider will have to talk to an attendant if you want to race against someone in the two-seat lane to determine which two cars are best to sit in, to ensure you are released at near the same time. I did a race on the track, and then my wife and I did both putt putt courses, and it was a great afternoon. Thanks to the staff for a wonderful day!

After our adventure we headed to Coopers-Seafood for dinner, and then to the Manning Farm Dairy for a farm fresh ice cream desert... The double was HUGE... not like two scoops... but almost 2 pints! Great prices. It was a wonderful weekend. Thank you...

If I had based my decision on visiting due to the lackluster reviews left on this site, my children, grandchildren, and I would have missed out on 5 hours of fun. Entry is FREE! You pay for what things you wish to do. We went with the largest package deals, which gave us the opportunity to do everything for $23 per adult. I think Kids package cost us $12 each, but they rode in the Adult GoKarts (11 and under ride free) and drove their own boat. We loved the Arcade, Go Karts, Bumper Boats, Batting Cages, and Yes, even the Miniature Golf, even though some of the outdoor carpet was indeed ripped, flags needing repair, and the streams beside the course were full of leaves and murky water, as noted in those other negative reviews. Could it use some renovations, absolutely, but we weren't expecting a Country Club setting, just a day to spend together laughing and winding down from a busy week. So, fortunately, we had an amazing time! 😍 Information that might have been helpful, knowing we could have packed a picnic and brought our own food & drink, as they were out of pizza due to large birthday gatherings that week. The vending machine takes dollar bills, so those who dont normally carry cash need to bring some as there is NO ATM available. However, once inside the Arcade area, we purchased ice cream, drinks, and chips, which could all be paid on the card. Parking is free. We are giving Lahey's 5 stars! (Side note: Subway, Taco Bell, and McDonald's are 5 minutes away. We ended up going to Applebee's 7 minutes away for a late lunch...
