This place has been here forever but is still amazing and has been kept up. It even still has the same vibe from 20 years ago but with a new twist, so glad places like this still exist and continue to offer a bright spot even in the middle of a pandemic. Thank you!

Havent played the other attractions but the driving range is great to have right in town. The mats are in good shape and I love the view. It can get full at busy times so be aware of that but the middle of the day I sometimes get the place to myself or close to it :)

Such a fun place! We were a group of adults and enjoyed every attraction. The park needs little upgrades but did see them working on them, especially the mini golf area. Workers were also sanitizing after every group. Overall, nice to stop by for a couple of hours!

Cheap, fun, and sanitized. Happy overall with the experience. There was a friendly pup that greeted us at the counter and gave great service. The dog made sure to come around the counter and greeted each of us in our group of 5. Friendly owner as well! An arcade game ran out of tickets but the clerk quickly came to refill the machine. While on the put put course, we saw a bunny too on our course hanging out. Go karts were a blast too.

Great place. Can be better maintained (mini golf) but we had lots of fun which is whats important. So 5 stars.Options for the entire family: mini golf, go karts, batting range and more.

We only played in the arcade. Most games were either .50 cents or $1. Worth it to spend the afternoon with the family and play some games. We spend $25 for 2 adults and 2 kiddos and had a blast. If we come back to Boulder will definitely be back to try some mini golf or some of the other activities they offer!

This place is well let’s just say interesting. I went here last summer with the summer camp program I was working for. It’s definitely a little older. You can tell it hasn’t been updated recently. The maze is not too difficult, but some kids might find it fun. The arcade is quite small. The games are fun but if there are many people there it gets very crowded inside. The mini golf is fun and I would say the best part of the park. I didn’t try the go karting nor did any of the kids I was with try it but probably would be fun. I wouldn’t drive from too far to visit this place but if you live nearby it would be fun to take your kids here.

We were there for mini golf. It looks to have once been a really nice place. It felt very run down and in need of maintenance. The water would have been awesome. Providing rules to people so they would play mini golf rather than golf would really help.

What a great experience. Last weekend I took my son to Gateway Park for the driving range and go karts. We had a blast. But, the best part about Gateway Park is the people. The customer service is top notch and you can tell they really care about their customers. For example, I lost my wallet while I was there. The three people there that day, Erin, Chris, and Aaron (I believe I got their names correct) all worked as a team to try to find my wallet. In fact after a few hours they found it and gave me a call to notify me. What a great group of caring people. Theyre the best! Ill be back soon for sure!

Family spent nearly the whole day here! Two rounds of go karting and 18 holes of mini golf! Perfect for all ages. They even have double go karts for smaller kids to ride with their parents. Plenty of shade and a nice little picnic table area for bring your own food.

Clean up your mini golf course. Its so torn up everywhere. The arcade could use an upgrade. Still had a fun time.

Well this place here is something else if you ask me, in one word this place is extraordinary. Constant fun and a overall joyful experience, especially if youre with your family. With two golf courses the fun never stops, from one to twenty five it gets progressively harder as you play. But still its soooooo fun! Secondly with my personal favorite, the go kart is amazing with the choice of having your own to drive and or a two seater which applies to safety which is key. Lastly is the arcade with many games and prizes to win, get tickets to win a prize. Super fun! Overall a great place to go with family. Would highly recommend.

My wife and I come here fairly often. I have no idea how this place exists in boulder. Terrible go karts, sketchy arcade, and super cheap driving range. None of that may sound great, but it is awesome and reminds me of being back home in Florida.

This was a fun place for the kids. They now have an arcade which they did not few years back. The arcade was a lot of fun for kids and pretty cheap, you get a lot of tickets and okay prizes.The mini golf was nice and small, 2-18 hole golf courses. Was not kept to clean but good for the price. We had a coupon and got two games for buy one get one free. Otherwise it ranged from 5-9.50 depending on games and ages. They had a maze, little kids go karts, adult go karts and a batting cage.

Cool place to bring the kids, a great way to kill a few hours, pretty clean and decently priced for what it is. The games kept running out of tickets but staff was quick to reload. I would like to see it updated. Maybe some new attractions and a fresh coat of paint goes a long way. This really could be a great attraction. It really hasnt changed in decades.

My kids are only 4 so I was a bit skeptical if they would be old enough to enjoy Gateway, as I remember being older when I came here years ago, but it turned out to be wonderfully family friendly! They do a great job with Birthdays, the staff was all very friendly and accommodating, and our girls loved racing the mini go karts around the kids track. Definitely worth a visit even with younger kids!

Love this place so why three stars? The golf courses could have seen some major work. The coble stone lining often sends the ball off course it into water. In the arcade I have to find attendants at a minimum of time twice either for machines out of tickets or a game ate a coin.

Gateway Park Fun Center is amazing! I work with the Autism Society of Boulder County, and we bring our group of families there once per year for our annual Family Picnic, and this event is always a hit! Gateway is accommodating and generous with our nonprofit group and event, and all of our guests have a wonderful time. We would recommend Gateway as a group event venue to anyone! Thank you, Gateway, for giving us a fun and friendly place to gather!

Definitely not a fancy place and even with the fact that its a bit run down we always have fun here. Everyone loves the go-karts and minigolf and the kids live the arcade even though its a complete rip off like all ticket based ones are

A great time for the family. The mini golf was really fun, well kept and had some really fun holes. The Go-Karts had some decent speed. The arcade was a little busy/tight and felt like there was a bit to many people in it for the size of the building.

Review №66

I am not sure how this place stays in business. I am going to assume it is the location and Boulders isolation from the rest of Colorado and the batting cages. Compared to Boondocks this place is absurdly priced. $64 for 2 kids and it was not even unlimited. Boondocks costs less than that for unlimited everything (including Bowling, Laser tag, Go-Karts, and Put-Put).The employees were helpful and polite, everything was clean, which is a difference and positive compared to Boondocks, which has such high traffic that the bathrooms are usually in need of cleaning. I would rather hover over a toilet seat and get my moneys worth, personally.

XWhile my husband was in Boulder on business, I needed a place to take the kids for some fun. This was perfect. We started with one of the two fun mini-golf courses. The course we chose had a lot of water hazards that made it actually pretty hard to stay out of the water. Luckily, my 12 and 6 year olds didnt want to keep score so they thought it was funny to get it in the water. Then we hit the Go Karts. My little one was too small to ride on the big cars with his brother, but when he found out he could ride his own on the kiddie track he was thrilled. They both had a great time. We had bought a punch pass for $29, which could be used for any attraction and could be used by more than one person. This seemed like a pretty good deal for us. After the golf and go karts we had left over punches and they let you turn those in for game tokens.We spent the rest of the time in the small arcade. Most of the machines are ticket dispensing chance games, which the kids loved. Either we were really lucky or they have loose machines. Either way, we got tons of tickets and the kids had a fun time buying toys and candy with them. All in all we had a great time and made fun memories

Had a great time. Monday afternoon, no one was there entire place to ourselves. My 3 y/o daughter was able to ride in the go karts. Punch card was the way to go. Still have punches left and wont expire for 3 years. Staff was super friendly and laid back.

This place is cool! It’s a little retro but in a good way and kept pretty clean. Prices are not bad and lots to do even if it’s a bit random. Out on the edge of Boulder and just a fun place! Where else can you play mini golf, skee ball, hit some baseballs, eat a pretzel, drive some golf balls and go-karts all in one place?

My son and I love this place for mini golf. They take pretty good care of this place. Few holes could use some work. Hopefully they will fix the tee off areas a little better. Prices aren’t too bad. We always get there early to beat the crowds.

Visited this cute Miniature golf course on Thanksgiving. I was surprised they were even open, let alone to have one of the best customer service experience EVER! I have been in this industry for over 10 years and the owners of this facility are the exact reason I always try to support local businesses. When we arrived they were dead- 2 people on the course. They let us play for free and said Happy Thanksgiving. At the end of the course when you return the ball you receive a ticket- my ticket said FREE ROUND OF MINI GOLF. I brought it inside to give to the owner behind the counter for his next guests to use since we were from out of town. He said well let me give you some tokens for the arcade then instead, so we gladly accepted and played some games and won some tickets. I tried to then give him the tickets for the next kids to use who came in. He insisted that I take a prize home with me. He handed me a little 3D square puzzle with 6 pieces, and said enjoy. At first I looked at it and thought well this is a kids toy, but still very generous of him. It took me almost three weeks to complete the puzzle correctly, and each time I tried I was reminded of the wonderful couple who worked on thanksgiving running their business and made me extremely thankful on Thanksgiving for strangers like them. Not sure if this review is helpful or not, but I know I will make it a point to stop here the next time I travel to Colorado again!

Great place! Went with my nephews and family on two different occasions and had a lot of fun! Go Carts and Put-Put are the two favorites. Staff was great and the facilities are well kept.FYI Go Carts have a regulator on them that limits the engine output. Still a lot of fun and speed, but if you want to win, try to flip the governor dial knob to the up position on engine block on back of go cart. This will be tricky. Governor switch is a red dial on engine. Possibly can switch dial with your foot as you are loading into go cart, or standing around looking confused and slyly adjusting dial. Probably do not want staff to see what you are doing. However, that being said, the staff is great. Give them a nice hello and thanks for being so customer friendly!!!

Best batting cages in Boulder. It would be nice if they used standard softballs so O could practice with my own bat. The extra hard balls will destroy a good bat.

Review №83

Its close to home, so its convenient for me. Can be a little crowded on weekends, especially the mini golf. Kids love the baseball pitching. Go Karts are expensive for us. We love the mini golf - good price and the courses are just plain fun. We frequently lose our golf balls in the water, then the kids have to reach in to retrieve them - cools them off in the summer time. Plenty of shady spots near the golf course.We have played the games inside, for fun, but only use the ticket rewards for small items or candy. People are always friendly and helpful. A great place for the kids to have fun.

We Love Gateway! We had a Birthday party at Gateway 2 years in a row, with 8 of us participating. Loved that we could experience many different activities all in one day. Baseball cages, mini golf, Go Karts, an outdoor water sprayer for hot days. The staff is wonderful! They were patient and very nice to us. We spent 4 hours having the best time!

We love Gateway--a friendly, low-key mini golf & entertainment center. My son likes it so much, hes had 3 birthday parties there. The go-karts are lots of fun and they are very generous with the time on track. Batting cages also great. Not so much into the arcade myself but the kids love it & they do have ski ball, air hockey too. Not as expensive as the corporate places and not as gaudy. Great place to spend and afternoon.

Quite fun.We mini golfed, go karts and batting cages.The mini golfing was fun. A bit crowded, and youll see repeat designs. But the amount of shade and cleanliness was more than enough. They were well maintained.The go karts were fun. Short and enjoyable. Enough hard turns to have fun. No broken karts and a full complement of drivers made our ride enjoyable.Batting cages were nice. We split 10 tokens and had a ball. The machines were slightly wonky, more so than normal.Overall it was a very enjoyable experience.

If youre going to have a credit card machine for the driving range (which they do), make sure it works please. Instead, the credit card machine reads cash only. That is not useful whatsoever.

Review №92

Terrible place, for seven dollars its a ripoff it should cost a dollar at the most. Basically the entire mini golf course is trash. There is duck tape on the corsue to fix worn away patches on the corse some of the metal gates to prevent ball from going into the water had holes in them, fence posts and benches where wobbly and a hazard to people. You can tell this place has invested no money into there establishment and have no pride in there business whatsoever.

Weve been going to Gateway Park Fun Center on and off for years, depending on the age and interests of our kids. We recently enjoyed a round of mini-golf with our 9 year old. The course is well-maintained and in good condition after all these years. I can imagine the mini-golf being busy on a weekend or summer evening; we had the luxury of playing late morning before heading off for a picnic in nearby Heil Valley Ranch.Kids always enjoy winning tickets in the arcade and cashing them in for a variety of plastic toys, trinkets, and treasures. The young people that typically work there, oddly dont seem to tire of dealing with dizzying devils half their age.My son also enjoyed the mini go-carts even though he was about 2 inches shy of being tall enough for the regular ones. Two weeks later, hes still telling people he knows how to drive a car.

Review №96

A little, local amusement park that has seen better days, but is still fun. My kids beg me to take them here & I give in about 3 times a year. The best part is the large go-karts which go fast enough to be pretty fun, though you need to take your smaller kids in a 2-seater. They cant go on their own until theyre close to 5 tall. There are also tiny go carts for small children. Theres a dilapidated maze that feels kind of creepy, especially as it gets to be dusk. The outside portions of the park, especially back where the maze is, usually lack any kind of supervision. There are batting cages that get pretty heavy use. There are 2 mini gold courses which are great. A little shabby in places but actually pretty well maintained with pretty landscaping and water features and huge animals. Inside is an arcade with skee ball, etc., you get tickets for and exchange for the typical junk that makes you feel like you traded $20 in tokens for 4 cents of parachute guys and punching balloons. But we keep going back!Its campy, its dated, but its cute and theres something nostalgic about it. While its a little run down in places, you can also tell that they must be doing well enough to keep putting money into it, as they manage to keep getting new games and maintaining the mini golf. Worth a visit.

Ive had the pleasure of visiting this establishment on multiple occasions. Plenty of parking and just a short drive from downtown Boulder which is a plus.My first visit was visiting the driving range with my Dad. I really appreciated the automated machine where we retrieved the golf balls (note to the wise: be sure the basket is under where the golf balls shoot out or else youll be retrieving them off the ground for awhile). Many choices of drivers and irons if you do not have your own clubs.Mini golf was the big draw on the other visits. Never over crowded and open both day and night. Awesome place for a date or relaxing evening with friends. I especially enjoy taking in a couple of arcade games before I head home.
