Cute park with great vintage games and rides. Unique entertainment. Fun for the family, great that admission is free. Staff is very friendly.
I love it here and will be a visitor for life. It reminds me of good times , friends ,fun in the sun,and lots of great photos . I can look back at them to this day and see the change in myself ,family, and wardrobe change throughout the 20+ years...lol I also rescued the best cat / companion ever from here. He lived from 2003 till 2018 in loving memory of Sunny.
Can't believe this place is still here. Took my 9 year old there and 10 year old nephew. We had a blast. Although the park was a bit in need of an upgrade, it was great to see it almost exactly how it was back when I was their age. The staff was very nice and very helpful. We were bummed that they only run the water slides on weekends but had fun doing other things. A good time was had by all.
I love the staff here, they are all amazing people.
Always a good time! There are 3 different mini golf courses to choose from The grounds are always clean and courses are well maintained. They have an arcade, a slick cart track and bumper boats. The kids love it!
do the go carts go single tho it's more fun
Took my son here for his birthday and he enjoyed the water slides and rides.
Nice little place to spend some time with the family.
Great place for family fun.
Polite, smiling employees made us feel welcome!
I've been driving by for awhile waiting for a reason to go play, recently a friend came through town with his family and we decided to try it out, we started with food which was horrible and for what it was took an unreasonable amount of time to prepare, a microwaved frozen hamburger with a piece of americon cheese on a plain bun and cold fries, an order of chicken nuggets that were actually 6 tiny pieces of popcorn chicken, $12 for miniature golf is ridiculous considering some of the holes are dilapidated and the ball got stuck in the tunnels, the cess ponds have a disgusting foam frothing on top of the dyed blue water, sadly there are cute ducks floating around and their feces is splattered on the walkways and putting greens, sadly there are cute cats wandering around which I assume are living in the deteriorating shacks based on the pungent scent of cat piss permeating the golf course, about 1\3 of the games were broken, in the face of adversity I will say that the bathrooms were clean and the employees were cheery and helpful, but we won't go back
Love this place so much its really fun.
Good for if ur kids have outgrown Chuck-E-Cheese but still love arcade games
I don't go here often but when I go it's for the pitching machines. The 35 mph machine is often down which is the machine I take my kids there for. Most of the staff is helpful but they often look stand offish. It's a great place for kids and adults.
I had good time going with family and friends.The rides that I went on were fun in my opinion, but the food I tried could use some improvement. Since some of the rides were closed, I could not know if they we're any good. I did not try the mini golf so I don't if it is any good. The arcade was alright I guess. If your in k-12 grade bring your lastest report card to get some free tokens.
Family had a nice time. Staff were very nice. Just make sure to wear tennis shoes open to not aloud on a lot of rides. Still fun.
Blackbeard's is a typical example of a Family Entertainment Centre (FEC) in design...various arcade games and attractions indoors, miniature golf, go kart tracks, water slides, and various other attractions outdoors, and it also has a cute snake-themed roller coaster. I only have positive things to say about Blackbeard's as my son and I (on holiday from the UK) were driving through the area on a day when the outside rides were closed, but as we were coaster enthusiasts the manager opened up the roller coaster just for us, and didn't even charge us...what wonderful customer service.
A lot of fun for all ages in the arcade!
Great place for family fun!
Really great kids family fun entertainment center. They have like 5 different attractions, go kart racing, laser tag, paintball, basketball, arcades, waterslides, and miniature golf. The kids will love it. I mean I'm an adult and I really got hooked on the arcade games and game arcades. Go here.
Fin place to bring the kids. Love it
I have been going to Blackbeard's since I was a kid. Always have fun here! Now that Boomer's is gone, this is the only miniature golf course around.
I love this place. I asked my girlfriend to marry me there. It was the site of our first date. It's got a place in my heart from before most of its employees were born.
There's good waters slides for kids and adults and good arcade games and golf courses
An okay place to play arcade. Takes long time and alot of money to collect enough tickets to win a prize thats not worth the effort.
Had a great time with my family and friends. It was the first time most of us had been to Blackbeards, and it didn't disappoint We really enjoyed the arcade, bumper boats, and we really loved racing the Go Karts. It was by far the most fun we had all weekend. We will definitely be coming back! Definitely recommend.
We had a blast with jefferson elementary family night getting drenched on bumper boats kids racetrack was great and rock climbing tree Larson brothers photos great idea just felt like needed another hour for mini golf....food was ok but lacked with our over priced funnel fries. Thinking we were getting something to share but nope....still had great time
Very fun but lots of little kids running around dont bump into them
Kids had a blast, it was their first time there and they want to go back soon!
Games are fun, as is the mini golf but I would avoid the concession stand. Edit: Specifically, I thought the pizza wasn't very good. I'm not sure if it was the ingredients or the little oven they use. A non-soda, low sugar drink option would be nice too. Maybe an unsweet tea? The seating was also non-existent for a place that serves food. I think there may be a total of three indoor tables. (If there was more, I could not find them). Overall it was a great experience and we will return.
Had an awesome time with my family for our locals picnic. Line management sucked it was 108 that day but they barely ran the misters to keep people cool
Lots O fun for the grandkids
Great place to bring the family, or just a date night!
I was about to win a prize on an arcade machine and the staff shut the power. They close at midnight and they said they would shut everything off at 11:45 pm and they shut it off at 11:40. I was not able to get refunded the tokens either. Apart from that the batting cage was nice and minature golf was a blast!
Was the same as it was 20years ago when I took my kids there .. I'm now taking my grand kids , looks the same still hot as freckles in that same area
Great family fun,especially in the summer.Love the miniature golf.
This place has its ups and downs. There are a descent amount of things for the kids to do but everything is dirty or outdated. Don't expect the most enthusiastic staff at a place like this but they could act like they are happy to have a job.
Always a fun place to go to. Love batting cages
Kids love it here. Good times!
Blackbeard's Family Entertainment Center is a great place fun a fun day with the kids. While attending Fresno Pacific University, I worked with Campus Life. As one of our monthly ‘fun events’, we took the high schoolers to Blackbeard’s Miniature Golf, Go Karts, or one of the other group-oriented activities. We never allowed them to go for centric activities like the batting cages or the arcade. It is a wonderful place to get kids out of isolation and enjoying group activities.
We took advantage of golfing fun for all ages. For a Friday night with a packed parking lot, it didn't seem over-crowded. We played the 18 hole golf course at a leisurely pace with families in front and behind us. The clientele was friendly and no one seemed in a rush. It was a funfilled night. We'll have to go back to try out some of the other attractions.
I'm being generous with the rating, because they are in the the middle of upgrades to the park. Overall it's still a good place to take the family.
Good family place with a lot of different activities lots of other places dont have combined. I would have given a 5 but I went to a FEW older arcades and they took my coins. Not all of the older arcades stole my coins. Just a few
It’s a blast to come here, I came as a child and now I bring my children. The batting cages are the main attraction for me and my children, but usually a few of the batting cages are out of commission. The Staff is friendly and helpful. There are many other outdoor things to do there like miniature golf, go karts, bumper boats and roller coasters so go check them out
This place is great and it is the only place in the area to visit for miniature golf, go carts, arcade games, laser tags, ropes course, etc. You get the idea, this place has it all. I was impressed with the cleanliness and how well the property is maintained. I would recommend Black Beards for just about any occasion where kids need to be entertained for a few hours. Go check it out and have a great time.
Great deal and the staff is friendly and helpful. Our 4, 3 and 2 year olds loved it.
We had been trying to kill time after checking out of our hotel at 11:00 a.m. and before our 7:00 p.m. flight. We did the Bangor Forest, Orono Bog, River Walk, a few Stephen King sights, Cascade Park, Lunch at Nicky's Cruise in...and then we were out of ideas, a little bored and still had about an hour to kill. Somehow, this showed up on our map! We are so glad it did. We took our 16 and 19 year old daughters. They each hit 3 tokens in the batting cages, then each took a 5 minute drive in the go-kart. It was just what they needed to end their trip with some fun, laughter and physical activity. The pricing was fair, staff was friendly and the area was very clean and well kept. If you need a place to burn off some time and energy before a flight out, this is perfect! Gas station was right next door to fill up the rental car before returning too!
This is always a good place to get out and have a lil one and one time with each other. Especially by hole 9. Wifey and i got it on back there, uuuweeee
Too noisy. Too many children, ALL of them having fun. Take Ibuprofen if this could be you.
Best Place to spend the summer
Had a great time. Place was very clean and employees were great. Even seen upgrading a man was painting there he was doing such a wonderful job very polite..my son had a wonderful time
Went for batting practice. It was great. Although the machines are super outdated the staff was very helpful in getting us every round of our pitches that we missed due to the machines not having enough balls.
We had a great time. It was busy, but everyone was still nice and friendly. Great atmosphere for family and couples.
Had alot of fun here on a date!
Great coffee and great staff! Be prepared to wait in line , though.
Really awesome family hang out place! Must go! Arcade, mini golf, race cars, and tons of fun
Best bang for the buck entertainment 20 dollars lastes hours
Always a good spot for a birthday party a little pricey but fun for the kids come here 2x a year
Kids love the slides. Not bad for a decent price.
Had an awesome time...employees were great
Had great time with family. My little ones loved it. Was clean and entertaining. As long as the kids are happy then as a parent you are happy. Haha. Was a blast. Will be back again.
Sad to see what's come of it. What employees I saw were drifting aimlessly around. Granted it was mid-afternoon and dead. I wanted to play pinball. Ball got stuck on first machine so I went to another. Second machine took my money with no gameplay credit issued. I looked around and couldn't see anybody to inform so I cut my losses and left
It was fun, glad to see they're taking a little bit better care of the place.
I brought my two grandchildren to Blackbeard's and would do so again. It is easy to walk and there are many places to sit down while the kids are on the rides or playing laser tag. Keep in mind that the slides are only open during the weekends. The lines go fast and the ride just long enough that there is fun and a quick turnover in the wait. I found that all of the employees were genuinely helpful and nice. Make sure you check online for their coupons with specials on the pizza deals as well as the purchase of tokens and entry fees. The value for your money is great and I would suggest purchasing the pizza meal deal with the 100 tokens. The video games and the games themselves are diversified and fun. Overall the park is very clean. As my grandchildren are older we did not use the kiddie rides; however, the children on them looked like they were having fun. Anytime of the week would be a good day to come to Blackbeard's!
So fun and a great place to have a birthday party.
They need to readjust the requirements to drive the go karts other than that I love the place.
Great day. Excellent staff very friendly. Especially the waterslide attendants
Fun! I enjoy it for my birthday parties!
They were super cool, my friends golf ball was stuck and one of the employees trued to get it unstuck and when he couldnt he brought another one for him
Good fun family time!
Always love taking the kid here, we used the bumpers boats & Go Karts!
Used to work here, good coworkers but got terminatted because of my grandma passing which caused me to miss a meeting. Still salty about not getting my unemployment money.
We took our 1 year old here on a rainy day for something to do to get her out of the house. It was perfect. Can’t wait to come back when the weather is better and she’s a bit bigger.
Love playing miniature golf there.
We always have a great time here without any problems. The minature golf is always fun, although i think the last hole is broken to get the free icee. Sometimes lines can get backed up on weekends and you're literally back to back while golfing. There's lots to do for small kids to adults. There's also arcades inside if you're not up for rides or activities. I'd recommend it.
Time waiting for the rides was to long and half of tge rides don't work. Employees are super nice.

You would think in the amount of time since their awful "grandma! Grandma watch me putt" commercial they'd put out some money and effort into their commercials. Nope. Cheap cosplayers and videography. No wonder no one wants to go there. If you are that cheap I have to ask how much effort they put into mataining their rides.
Overall it's a great spot to go out with family, friends, or even a spontaneous date. Mini putt is definitely one of the reasons I come here and I've got to say that it is one of my favorites to go to every now and then. I'd definitely have to take one star down being that out of the three mini putt courses they have, one of them is always closed which is the one closest to the Go Karts, at least the last three times I've been there which is a bit of a bummer.
Batting cages were decent. One of the 40mph cage was threwing the balls to high.
I never been to any place like that before! Played miniture golf had a blast
Love this place! So fun, theres 2 arcades one for younger children and another with other games. Mini golf, go carts and kids rides as well. Super cute.
Always a great experience. Blackbeards need to fix their games and also add in some new games!
It's a lot of fun❣️ it's just a lil expensive
This place is still as fun as it was when I was a child back in the early 2000s. They added more things to do here for kids though, but some of the arcade machines are a little beat up...
Great family fun. A bunch of improvements from when I used to go as a kid, now I'm taking my kids there for fun.
I visited Blackbeard’s about a week ago and I was purchasing some tickets for the go carts and this girl named Samantha helped me and my friends. She was so helpful and patient with us , she explained every single rule of the rides when asked. Would highly recomend coming here!

Went there for grad night after graduation it was okay some of the workers were rude
Wonderful miniature golf. Creative challenging holes. Superbly maintained. Lots of fun. Gorgeously designed, completely mad. Ducks, geese, waterfalls bridges, rivers, towers, haunted houses, like a mini Disneyland. Beautiful humorous varied landscaping. Three mini courses, 18 holes each. Free senior night every Monday. Wife loves it. Regular dates. Good exercise. Friendly fun people.
I absolutely love this place. I drop 20 in the machines every Saturday and take about 150 swings in the baseball batting cages, every Saturday since January. Needless to say, it has improved my game. This past weekend my friend broke an aluminum bat, just normal wear and tear, nothing crazy. At first he thought they were going to make him pay for it because that was the initial communciation but they waived it immediately once realizing it was just normal wear and tear. Excellent company, excellent staff. It was Marissa, I believe, that dealt with loyal customers so courteously and professionally. Raises all around, says I. Keep it up. I am coming back every weekend either way. Thank you to your staff for all they do.
Had my greatgrand daughters baby shower very nice
It was nice and cool outside playing miniature golf then going inside the arcades were awesome.
Great place to have church picnic or family reunion
This place is so old and needs to be renovated rides are old every thing is old. Not only is there so much wear and tear on this place but it's so dam expensive it definitely not worth the money to come here it's very boring it's $10 to do the rope climbing and all other rides are $10 it's a ripe off they should charge $2 per attraction since it's so crappy of a place never coming here again not recommended at all I would give the 0 stars but unfortunately I have to give at least 1.
I enjoyed my time with friends at blackbeard. I have been here before
Had a great day here with my friends. Thanks~!
That place look so fun but i have not been there but i am going next year i am so happy that i am going next year ❤
Blackbeard has been around since I was a lil kid the place still looks the same it sure does bring back great memories!
It was really fun. My kids liked all the games. I loved the sweet little employees too
A few years back this would be 2 stars but newer games. Pricing is very good for what your dollar gets you. Some games need repair or this would be 5 stars. Service was as expected but not over the top. Not too busy which is great for an outing bit maybe not the best for the revenue
Absolutely love bringing my family here to enjoy the arcade and miniature gold course.
Free parking, have batting cages, good, water slide, have place for picnic and party, BBQ areas....
So much stuff do do for the family. We went for the slides and some race cars, and had some fun with the bumper boats.
The batting cages were fun and miniature golf was awesome! They have a great course and it is very well maintained. The staff was very friendly and helpful!
Wonderful place for daughter's 10th birthday party. Minus the wind that kept blowing the table settings away. When given the choice of where to have her party she has chosen Black Beards 3 times.
Place went way up in price and all the stuff the same from when i was a kid lol
Had a great time. Butt they have to fix there ac. It got pretty hot in The arcade
It's nice to see that this place is still up and running after all these years, I used to go here as a kid oh, now I bring my kids here when I'm in town. It doesn't feel run down or ghetto or anything like that. I feel very comfortable bringing my family here
I haven’t been to Blackbeard’s in probably 20 years but went back today for a company picnic and really enjoyed my time with the family. It felt clean and safe and the employees were helpful and friendly. My kids enjoyed playing mini golf as well as the go carts. We also spent a lot of time in the arcade trying to get as much tickets as we could. If you haven’t been in a while, I’d recommend checking it out again. I’m glad we went.
Batting ranges are good and so is arcade its been a while since i been here so it was very nice
Only went for the arcade,spending $20 mainly for claw games. Took a while for payout but got a double win. Left feeling accomplished and excited to come back, Ren needs his Stumpy!
Used batting cages for child, but again management really isn't properly maintaining pitching machines. Balls are traveling faster than speed posted, but what's worse is ball comes to high to most kids. Better off going to a real batting cage. The kid working was very polite, especially having to watch several things in the park.
There are many games here and the mini golf is great
Great places to take kids for games and golf. I always love coming here to spend time with my little family and at the end of the day my kids would be worned out and sleep by the time we get home.
Great place for family :)
It was Ladies night out for our Church. We had a blast and plan to go again..
My grandaughter had a great time.
There mini golf is always pleasant and their water slides use to rock..but all the workers.seemed aggravated . When I was a kid this place was the best spot to go and in walking distance of my house. Bumper cars were my favorite. But now the bumper cars are long gone and half the rides there look dangerous or dilapidated on my last visit but my family still had fun in the arcades and golfing
Played a round of golf on the western course. It's okay, nothing to shout home about in terms of course play. A little expensive for what was given in return.
Nice place for a family time .
Awesome service! Great picnic area. My students loved it! A lot of Attractions to enjoy or just kick back and enjoy!
Nice staff, all the games work, miniature golf also fun.
I was having so much fun we went there as a school trip
Good plave to take yoir family
Took a group of kids from our summer program and they had a blast. It was fun watching them come down the water slides
A whole lot of fun full entire family or a couple. Prices are a little high but the reward of doing things together is priceless
I mean it's fun but if you've got an urge to burn your paycheck. I liked the staff the most because they want you to have fun but the pricing could be a bit more fair, other than that the games are nice and the prizes are actually decent. The one saving aspect of this place was the mini golf, their courses are beyond fun and I had a blast playing with my family on them.
My only complaint is the prices for the rides. I had to tell my son we couldnt afford to pay $11.25 for 1 ride on the cars. Kind of ruined the trip cause thats all they were thinking about after I said no.
Kids and myself had fun but wish smaller kid area was open later cause the aracadium isn't all that fun for kids 4 and under. But we worked with and they still had fun ripping out their tickets!
I love the pirate ship it was fun and it is handled very well
I would give them a 5 but one worker named Destiny was making a face every time my boys wanted to go on a ride that she had to go open. Seemed like she wasn't happy to work there. She was the only one with that attitude everyone else was so nice. Prices for the big rides are high but great deal for the kiddie rides, $9 for a 2 hr wristband.
Best mini golf in the valley.
This place is classic. The staff was a bit slow, and the place is a bit outdated. A little overpriced for how outdated everything is but the kids did enjoy our family outing of miniature golf.
Not what I remember as a kid but not bad. Seems like it needed maintenance on a few things.
Still one of my favorite places in Fresno
Been coming here for years on mini dates with my husband. We love it! The keep the mini golf courses clear and kept up.
Better for children under 13, when all the attractions are open. Older children were a little under-whelmed.
This is place is the funny place to hang out with family and friends so come on down and have some fun
It's a little pricey, and they like to blame their workers for the prices they charge. That seemed pretty low, especially since the people I encountered seemed friendly and helpful. I brought my 8 person family in for a round of mini-golf and thought that experience was a little expensive for that experience. Thanks for the response though.
One of the best places to spend time with your family and it won't cost you and arm and a leg
This was a fun place to go for a few hours when I went as a class field trip. The manager was nice and kind and willing to help. I been to many theme parks in California and this Family Park was such a good place to go as a family and wish to go there again when I get a chance to and wish everyone a great day.
Great place to take the kids
All the rides were hot seats absolutely no one was there I had the park to myself
It's a cool little place for kids to have fun maybe a date. They have water slides, race cars, a miniature golf course and this new jungle gym thing. Oh and a paintball course on the side The prices have gone up from the last time I went, which was in 2013 but everything has gone up. They also sell food and have an arcade inside the building. It gets 4 stars because it's s bit rundown, definitely need to update a few things.
It's a good place to go have fun with your family
I used to love coming here as a kid. I think they need to renovate the entire place and make it new and exciting again. Some of it is older than my mom who’s 50
Batting cages were awesome!! It looks really ancient on the outside but preety modern on the inside
Fun and easy. Wish there were more places like this. Love it.
My friends and I had a great time here. We played the DDR which was alot of fun! They have alot of prizes you can win from and games. They also have water slide for the hot summer days and go karts outside.
I've loved this place since I was a kid. Now I get to share it with my son.
Family nd Friends day today. HA employees and affiliates enjoyed the evening of music, food, unlimited rides and much more.
Great place to enjoy andless waterslides at a birthday party
Lots of games and activities, everybody having a great time.
Went mini golfing and had a nice time. It was really quiet there but nice enough. Could use a little upkeep on the grounds but I am sure that might be because its the offseason. Lots of ducks around. ♡
The kids have a blast here on the water slides, rides, go karts, mini-golf and even the video games
great place to enjoy with family. specially with the kids
This is a fun place to go but it's getting older and could use some maintenance. The cars are a blast. But the batting cages are overpriced and need major maintenance. 10 pitches for a 4 tokens= 1$ and they barely work.
