Reviews of Vince's Sports Center (Park)

Doris Hall

I've been coming here since I was a little girl. I'm 25 now, and i still love coming here. Great prices, great staff (most of the time). My only issue I really have is most of the games were out of order or completely not working but would take your money. Hopefully it's fixed because I do like coming, and it's close to me.

Joe Matarese

Nice place to go with grandchildren. Minute golf and game area. Plus batting cages. Had a great time with Jacob my grandson.

Robert Sturgis

My kids and I love this place

Ryan Heaton

Batting cages were nice to have indoor in the off-season. Lighting could have been better for the cages. Aging games where some didn't work.

Melissa Johnson

Nice for an afternoon of batting cages, mini golf , and a little arcade. Even a climbing area for smaller children. A little run down and some games are broken. Small, family owned place

Emily D

Best place around for batting practice. I like the golf too. Havent played arcade but that looks amazing!

Michelle Lara

Great cheap place to hang out with the family no limited time can be there all day if you want

Dottie Randazzo

Great place to have fun! Friendly people work there and it's super clean

Kaitlyn Barry

I love Vince's. I been here a lot to practice batting. My sister goes off to play games. I am sad to here it is closing.

Darcy Meadows

My daughter had her birthday party here! Great place! Recommend for young children

William Goodyear

Nice par 3 for the money

Jonathan Rodriguez

Best batting cages ever...

Robin deputy-williams

Great, Pleasant, Fun For The Kids And Adults

Harry Dolbow

Family loves it. Good times

Brenda Thongvong

Great place for the kids.

Neil Bartlett

My 3 year old loved the play area and arcade games. My 7 month old was happy just looking at everything while my older one made freinds in the ball pit and played games to win tickets.

Thomas Kennedy

Good value for young kids. They can play on the indoor playground and do some arcade games for $3. When the weather is nice, they have 2 putt putt courses to try.

Florence Powell-Tucker

It was okay..but my grandson said the ball settings were too low.

Richard H.

It offers a lot to do for kids. Prices are reasonable. The place does need some maintensnce.

Elizabeth Schon

Great batting cages... Good service and a cool mini golf...

Mmycro

Good ol Vince's! Been going since I was a kid, now I take my kids. The place is dated but it's still fun!

Hammad MEHMOOD

Family friendly and decently priced.

Kim E

Fun place to hit some balls

Alexander Weeks

Cheap fun for a morning out with my two boys coast me twenty dollars and we were their for about two hours they had a blast!!!

Julian Scopatz

There are two putt putt courses, indoor batting cages, indoor playground, arcade, and food/places to sit inside. Staff was very friendly, and for those intersted there was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cabnet along with a mulitcade cabnet that even had Burger Time. Would recommend to anyone and everyone of all ages.

Milton Maisonet

Good batting cages

Nicole

It was very cold in there, as if there was no heat. Other than that, my kids had a lot of fun .

Shawn Eleby

Quaint little courses, we went for the mini golf. No flashy bells and whistles or animated obstacles or hazards, simply beginners level cement courses.

Sara McCarron

Had so much fun! Arcade games weren't the best. But it was still a great spot. The batting cages were great. Looking forward to going back.

Smita Roy

Fun place for kids and adults.

Michael Brown

Batting cages are so fun!!

Sarah Collins

My kids enjoy coming here to play games and miniature golf. There is a good variety of arcade games, a batting cage, a play area for younger children and a decent miniature golf course. The only problem I've come across is having to wait in line every time we lose tokens in a game (which is not that often) as there isn't anyone on the floor assigned to that task.

KX250 Trail Rider

Best batting cages in the area.

Jes By

Lots of fun come here often it's fun place to bring the kids and not spend a lot of money

Jughead Skywalker

The greens are a joke , the par 3 is unplayable, I was charged full price for this ..... Smh

Daniel Berndt

Two fun, but easy mini golf courses and lots of arcade games to play.

jeffrey k

Always friendly and helpful staff. Good environment for having fun.

Leslie Giffi

No employees are rude and the Bill's place stinks and is dirty

Kelly Krapf

Love this place! BEST place for birthdays. Super reasonable prices and great fun for younger kids (my 5 year old LOVES it!)

mommy shark

Used to come here when I was a kid. Now I take my children (6&7) here and they love it. So glad we have a cool little family friendly establishment like this in our town. Twenty bucks and the kids can play in the indoor play area and get tokens to play on all the cool retro arcade games and ticket games. The prize counter ticket values are reasonable. Prices for the snack bar are reasonable, putt putt golf is a nice little time killer on nice day. The staff is always friendly and patient with the kids. Only good things to say about this place! We take the kids for a "night out" here at least monthly. They love it! So glad Vince's is staying in Newark and I will continue to support their business to make sure :)

hope woollens

great place to take the kids games a little dated batting cages and mini golf great

Chris Boyer

Still love going to the cages. Knock off the rust in the beginning

DENISE Boone

Went here with my adult daughter. Had a good time in the batting cages.

Alexandra Kianna

Lots of fun, a bunch of thungs to do , and inexpensive

Joseph Grendzinski

The candy claw machine actually shocked me I told the people working and they didn't do anything..

Eugene Wasnetsky

What a rad place. Staff is holding it down. Pizza is unreal! Party package is so affordable and the games are tons of fun. Welcome to one of, perhaps the, largest batting cages this side of the Mississippi! There's a lot of stuff to do here and one experience wasn't enough to take it all in. Can hardly wait to get back here and rock out with some golf clubs. Go here, especially for kids parties, it's fun and affordable.

Eric Switzer

As a college guy trying to get back into baseball shape before the summer these cages are not sufficient. You will have horribly timed swings in these cages due to the lack of any sense of when the ball will be pitched. The only indicator is a red light showing that the cage is active. You cannot see the ball being fed into the machine and the timing between pitches is inconsistent. Also, the "fast" cages are MAYBE 65-70 mph which most high school pitchers can surpass. Proceed with caution if you have any baseball talent.

April Boltz

Mini golf fav.

Kevin Byrd

Great Par three course to refine your mid-range swing

Dakota Snover

This place was an anchor in my childhood. Growing up in brookside gave you limited things to do as a kid, but Vince's was always there. Whether you wanted to practice baseball, play some putt putt, or just chill out with arcade games, you were never bored if you were here.

aseem saurabh

nice place :)

Kenneth Dollenger

Love the par 3, unfortunate there’s a lot of construction in the area at the time. But please please cut the greens shorter how they used to be. When I went last week they were just too long.

Marie Moriarty-Puggi

We had a Groupon nuce place extremely friendly staff. Kids had a great time

adrianisawesome1234

This is another place I would recommend you go to if you want to have fun. All the games are fun to play. But that's not all. There are batting cages and a golf course also. Food tastes good too. From Ms.Pacman to Skee Ball, this place has pretty any game you could imagine. The staff is not just helpful, they're also very friendly I should say. Each game is 1 to 4 tokens to play. Whether you are a kid or an adult, I am sure you will have fun here. This place has things for people of all ages to do. So if you're planning to go anywhere this summer, this is a place I will recommend you to go.

Christina Moore

Fun place for kids of all ages

HermiCornejo Compartiendo juntos

Place for have a lot lot fun and totally familiar!!!

Wildalys Velazquez

Hello, I love the place! I always have a good time with my family. But last Thursday, we went there and the guys working that day were trying to close earlier than the actual closing time for that day. We felt that we were getting kicked out. They told us that Vince’s was closing early because we were the last customers. It was still 8pm.

Courtney Hayes

Great price and family fun for younger kids

Corinne Youse

Great family fun. The BEST customer service and prices. Legit Newark legend.

Steve

Great place. Nice owner.

Elizabeth Phillips

Fun place to go

John Keane

Fun place. A real old fashioned arcade with video games, skee-ball, batting cages and mini-golf. Good fun, especially if you're on a budget.

Brandi Bullock

My daughter wanted to come here for her B-Day and had a blast. A lot of the games are pretty good for the asking price which is anywhere from 2-4 tokens per game. The play area is a good way to work up a apatite and for the kids to get their exercise. The only thing I would change is the token deals and to lower some of their ticket prizes. All on all it was pretty cool!

Karen Gustafson

Inexpensive family fun! Both mini golf course included for one fee of 6.50 per person ! Course was clean, other than fallen tree debris, course is almost comletely in the shade. Big plus on hot, hot days. Some of the obstacles where broken, but did not take away from the game. We had a great time!

Tina Perdue

We had a birthday party for my 3 year old grandson who had a ball with other kids older than him. They have a little bit of games,rides, baseball cage,golf etc to keep every age entertained. For games you win tickets to apply to gifts you want. Everyone of all ages had a great time. Especially my grandson, mom and dad.

Jessica Oneal

Took my 2 nieces who r 5 an 18months an an me an there mom had as much fun as they did there was something fun for all of us an every age very good prices we will definitely be back

Wesley Teasley

A bit run down but the prices aren't bad and the kids enjoy themselves

Coleen Armstrong

Cheap place for the kids to play in bad weather! Play area is only $2 and some change. Plus you get a few tokens for the arcade. Kids love it!

derrek-b

I've been going for probably 25 years.

Lyndsi Scher-Carriker

I LOVE this place, nothing else like it in Newark. Great games, ball pit for the kids, pizza, the best dang giant cookies (and the are baked there!). I go there all the time with my family, even my 2 year old loves it. The selection of prizes is awesome and always changing. The owner always welcomes us with a huge smile. It's just excellent, worth the trip. Especially for the amazing mini golf!!! Check it out everyone!!!!!!

Samantha Smith

Since I first moved to delaware when I was a teenager I've always loved going to vince's. Now as an adult I take my family whenever we can. I'm really, REALLY going to miss this place!

Kennedy Lewis

Been going to this place since I was a little girl, always a blast

J R

Great place for kids.

Robert Anderson

35-holes of mini-golf for about $6 per person (chance to win a free game at the end). Baseball and softball batting cages with gear included. Par-3 golf for $13 per person. Snack bar and arcade. Overall, reasonably priced and kid friendly. The mini-golf area could stand a bit of a remodel, but not a bad place for the price.

elizabeth mata R

Kids can have fun. Personally, I think need to be more clean !

Efie Bishop

Nice chill place for children

Kristopher Agreen

**it's 7pm** "just so you know, we close at 8:30. I think you have time for putt-putt.... spend 5 min outside after spending13$ and it starts raining, no refunds for weather but if you shoot the last hole in we will give you a free game? Maybe should have gotten a free game anyways?? **intercom** Heads up, we close in an hour, we close in 45, we close in 30 minutes!!! We close in 15 minutes...." I loved the batting cages but man, Gould you please seem less eager to kick your customers out the door????

Desirae Salstrom

The kids (12,11,9) had SO MUCH FUN! All the games worked & the staff was incredibly friendly. The kids loved the physical tokens & receiving the physical tickets vs using "game cards" at other establishments. The prices were not overly expensive & it was a great trip for the scorching hot summer day! We will definitely be back!

Iris Pendleton

We had fun and enjoyed ourselves

Anthony

Played the mini golf. It was a good time. The courses are pretty fun. Good prices, too. Love it

My Hanitizer

I love their employees Dominic was so helpful, the games are fun but the place may need an upgrade but the prices make people happy. The food was good, the space is large and the games need extra work but the kids were happy and the soft play area was reasonably priced and the location offers plenty if parking. We looked it out in our way back to Virginia!

Tony Twigg

Great fun for the kids and i even enjoyed the batting cages

delia ocasio

Kids love this place ,love the ball put them the arcade games are great ,and very responsible food prices

Kimberly Warrington-Bechara

Great place for partys. Kids love it

Rosemarie Perry

Always have throwback fun here! The boardwalk right in my backyard. Could use some sprucing up but it's a nice, clean place great for birthday parties too!

Donald Tunstall

Had fun on the 3 par golf course!

Kim Dewees

Kids loved it and it's very affordable. I enjoyed the batting cages

Rakha Wibisana

Came with a group of friends and played a variety of things from batting cages to air hockey - all for $5!

Bernie Badman

one of my favorite places in the whole world I hit the batting cages my daughter's run and play the games we all have a great time as a family.

John Brady

Had a great time with the kids.

Joseph Wingate

They have mini golf 2 courses, batting cages for baseball and softball, indoor soft play area ,video games a part 3 nine hole golf course and a snack bar. You can do birthday parties here. I always enjoy the golf course!

brurrito fg

My kids had a good time here. The staff were friendly and helpful. I rate it a 4 because I feel like the restrooms needed a good cleaning and a lot of the games kept eating the coins and it was annoying to have to wait for staff to replace them over and over again. Other than that I was pretty happy and would visit again in the future.

Jessica Petersen

Can’t wait to go back , I love this place !

T Lake

Medium Pitch Softball Cage was a total waste of money as the pitches were all over the place. Update - Issue was not that it was high or low, but rather there was absolutely no consistency. One pitch would fall well short of the plate and the next two would be high and fall way past the plate

Goddess Pharah

It was a fun place to be but the employees were not fun.

Warren Coates

The place was fun with multiple options to keep all ages entertained, but my problem is with the bathrooms they had poop smeared on the stall door and the urinals overflowing

N P0611

A really fun place for families.

scalez og

Everything is great other then our wait on the food ..

Kimberley Masten

Was very fun for my toddlers but the play place for little kids was so dark you couldnt see much even in the middle of the day

Becky Sperati

always a blast good food great mini gulf courses. just wish my friends and i had started earlier so we could have finished both before the sun went. hope they fix the drop ball game though.

Kimberly Walls

Love the new games and still the mini golf. A DE staple

Ben Franson-Wright

Fun was had! Lots of things to do at a reasonable price.

Haley & Lyssa

I practiced at the batting cages and later on played some games. Was very clean , food was good

Patty Knapp

Excellent place to take a class of students for a reward:)

sharon ellwood

Had the best time. Lots if games to enjoy

Nicole Rouleau

We love it here! No batting cages near where we live compare, so we commute to Delaware from Pa for Vinces!!!

Wilson Villada

Everything is ok

Kimberly Lyon

Everything was awesome foods decent price and flavorful. Mini golf is fun there and they even have special batting cages for kids!

tara carbo

I took my 5 year old son here for miniature golf. This place is great for people of any age. There are two mini golf courses. Whether you are young or old it's super fun. There's a small arcade, batting cages, golf ranges, food, etc. Loved it.

Charles Partridge

Clean and affordable. Some of the games were a little dated, but the kids had a blast.

kay gee

We have a great time here. Family fun. Safe environment!

Patta Waay

Great family fun that stays within your budget!!

Ruth Johnson

My grandson really enjoyed. I have to fight him to get him out the play park.

Samantha Archibald

Little run down. Could use some sprucing up but still fun for a family day with the kids.

Jess Tharp

We did mini golf and it was okay. I used a coupon from the Clipper Magazine. If I had paid full price then I would have been disappointed. Their prices are expensive, especially the batting cages. I would consider this a low quality Chuck e Cheese

Robert Carrel

I have been taking my children now my grand children to Vince's .It is a great place to go.My grandson loves batting cages.While my grand daughter loves all the games.She really loves winning tickets. It's a pleasure just to watch her make choices , they are tough decision to make.What toy to pick lol

Andrew Z

Pretty cool place. Prices are fair. Golf course is fun. Batting cages are functional. Neat place overall.

4EvaWonderful

This place is still the same since I went there as a kid. I've always loved this place especially because they have mini golf which is my favorite. Great prices, family friendly, good atmosphere. They have an adult 18 hole course outside, along with batting cages, and plenty of games inside and a ball pit jungle gym climbing thing that will keep kids entertained for hours, also great for birthday parties. Yes, they also serve food and drinks.

Caitlyn Ham

Prices are super reasonable. You can play a while without spending much money. Employees were very helpful and enthusiastic.

Robert Garland

August Update: Mini golf course has been cleaned up. Some of the water features are now working and the entire area has a better look and atmosphere. Some of the animal sculptures need either an overhaul or replacement after years of service, but the course is still a nice place to bring the kids for a quick round of putt-putt. Original 2019 post: The mini golf course has become dilapidated but is still functional. Provides a simple good time at a reasonable price.

Romeo Garcia

Great place for kids. We had a great time playing miniature golf. Also, found an awesome deal through Groupon for miniature golf and pizza.

eddie

Loved this place ever since I was a kid, a bit "rustic" but fun none the less. I usually just come for the batting cages but always end up throwing some money into those old arcade machines. Decent mini golf and staff is always accommodating. Never tried the food.

Rob Conn

Been coming here for year's, been having a good time there for years. I now take my son there and we have a ball every time we go! Great family center!:)

Douglas Ridgell

Great Groupon 4 mini golf

Brandon Gray

The batting cages and golf course are the best we have in this area

Jasmine Pressey

Nice place but freezing cold inside.

Ann Marie Savini

Inexpensive but fun place to take young children.

michael fahr

Great place for your kids birthday party

Jeff Fisher

Great place to take kids

Halim Halim

Nice place for kids , need to pay more attention on sanitary, dust all over specially the food area

barb Johnston

We had a great time there.

Alex O

Its good in a pinch. The batting cages are a tad outdated (but which ones aren't in this area). It looks like it has some decent games for kids.

aris vis

I like this place for the mini golf.

Ruben Kelly

Its ok

Al S

Lots of fun for you and the family. Batting cages. Arcade, prizes, food, and miniature golf

Nicole Lewis

Cool place and cheap my kids love going to the batting cages and mini golf

Noah Beljaars

This place has many entertainment options perfect for kids and adults alike.

Jenny Lauzus

I went here for mini golf and the price is excellent and they have 2 courses you can play. They are alittle old looking and simple holes but still fun and for the price and since you get to play both courses for that price I say it's a good place. I will be coming back to try their Par 3 course they have.

Matt Scully

*Edit* I've now been informed that my experience here, must have been the result of hallucinations. The owner has assured me that my eyes have deceived me, that I didnt go play a round of put put, with dirt, sticks, and leaves all over the course, with the water system in disrepair and flowing on to the greens, broken decor and an absolute lack of maintenance. I didnt spend much time inside, as to avoid getting tetanus. I've visited Vince's several times over the years, its been the same since 1990 (as far back as i can remember.) The owner seems to think this review is left out of animosity, but in truth im just telling it like it is. It's sorely in need of refurbishment, its been a staple in our community for my entire life, I would certainly like to see it in better condition, but hiding behind "we mop the floors abd dust the helmets" wont make it any better.

Tyler Albertson

Awesome place glad it didn't close

Sniper Pigeon

Most of the games are pretty good in value and there's a few I'm suprised they still have....good batting cages and mini golf!

Tonya Bryant

My husband and I came so our six-year-old son could play the par three golf course. It is unusual enough to hear that one parent has to pay to walk, but my husband payed anyways and decided to play. I was going to caddy for my son and was told I was not allowed and would be charged to the full fee to walk!!! The conditions were unplayable also, so a very negative experience.

E. Jackson

It was a little run down. Even with that being said this location did every thing I needed it for. I would still recommend it.

Michelle Magana

My son had an awesome time playing mini golf and games

Matthew Garvey

So its not a terrible place but not a great place . the prices are good. More then half the games either are broken or have something broken on them . they are very worn out . the mini golf and batting cages are good . the staff was awesome . A lot of games steal your tokens . you can see the games are old old old old but still its fun . food is alright . all that maters is the kids had fun the cold clean the place a little better but over all its not a bad place.

HelpMeFools

Its really fun has mini golf and batting cages and an arcade. And to top it all off it has food! I highly recommend it!

Benny Panella

Vince's sports center holds a special place in my heart! My dad used to take me here all the time when I was a kid. It reminds me all the time of just being a kid. Ripping balls in the batting cages. I love that it has a mini stadium built up. That makes those long fly balls more satisfying to hit and hear them smack off the wood. Nostalgia oozes out of Vince's. Ive gone here through highschool when my friends and I would golf on the course out back! I can tell you that if you can't have fun here, you don't have a pulse! Love Vince's sports center! Always a great time!

Big Dick Johnston

Awesome place, but kind of run down. You'll lose some tokens in a broken machine, and get some bad pitches in the cages, but the staff is helpful and accommodating

John Hickman

The batting cages are the best thing this place has to offer. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. They have a nice party area. A good sized ball pit for the little ones. The mini golf was outside, too cold to play. The down side is that a lot of the games are old and don't function properly.

ramon morales

The kids lived it

Daniel Becker

A gem. Bought 20$ of tokens, paid 2.75$ a piece for 3 kids to go in the play area (got 4 tokens each back so really only 1.75$). Gave the kids 10 tokens, then had them hop in the play area, 10 more tokens... until I ran out. Paid another 10$ in food/drink. The kids got to "buy" toys with tickets like at any arcade. The staff was extremely friendly and patient. I thought it would be super busy because of the heat, but it was not busy. Just a few other families and no summer camps. Overall spent about 3 hrs here. 3, 8, 9 y/o. Also, batting cages are there and you can borrow a bat with collateral. Mini golf. Par 3 golf. Plenty of stuff to do. Some games were out of order, some were old and worn, but the kids don't care about that and had a blast for a reasonable price: 30$, 3 kids, 3 hrs. And my wife and I even played some games too!

Ismael Santiago

I love hitting some balls with my dad. But the place is so out dated. Wish it could get a little makeover. And the kiddie play area smells like urine.

Mark Swanson

Location, children and adults friendly batting cages, putt putt ,golf and a 9 hole 3 part golf course. Caterers birthday parties

uu wolfie

My family enjoyed every second

John Krebs

Fun time for all! Miniature golf, batting cages, arcade.

Klass- A_K

For plAce for the kids

Curt Kimmel

Whenever I need to practice my batting, I stop at Vince's. They provide several batting cages for softball and baseball. There are also lots of games to play, prizes to win, mini-golf and a Par 3 Executive Golf Course on the grounds. This is a great place to take the kids.
