Reviews of Malibu Jack's Louisville
michel
Great family fun place. Bowling, games and carnival rides. Arcade games, bumper cars, Mini golf, go karts and simulator ride. Have your birthday Pizza party there. Snack bar and restaurant also. Kiddie park with climbing maze and bouncy house. All ages will enjoy. Loved it. Beer served as well.

Great place to take the whole family and have FUN!!I liked the fact that it’s huge inside,and has plenty of games to choose from. Everything seem to be spotless, till I went to restrooms, it seem like it hadn’t been cleaned in a week!! It smelled very bad, toilets were disgustingly dirty, that’s the only reason I’ll rate it a (4stars). Other than that if staff can be more aware of cleaning the restrooms it would be great!!
Pretty Unique
Awesome family and lots for the kids to do. First time visiting had a blast. If you want family laughs and fun come and see for yourself. Staff was friendly and we had no issues. Facilities were clean and the areas within were all well maintained.

Fun times with the family at Malibu Jack's. We hit the go carts up and the 18 hole par 46 mini golf course. Now either I need to lose weight or I got the slow cart but I was wearing out that boost button to get my whip up to speed.
The golf course was fun on the back 9 with some fun holes that presented some challenges and beautiful scenery. My putter was on fire and had me 2 putting most holes. I felt a little guilty about beating my family but they'll get over it. Fun place where you can be a kid with your kid if you know what I mean.

Don’t tell the kids, parents have just as much fun here! I dont recall ever going to an indoor amusement park and the kid in me had to visit while in KY. We will definitely be back! There were so many activities that we couldn’t do them all in a few hours. I really liked the virtual reality shooting game ride. Please be aware that there is a height restriction on the rides for safety reasons but that shouldn’t stop you from visiting. The indoor play area is HUGE, like you could lose your kid if you dont closely watch them. Fortunately there is only one exit with a staff member securing it. You could spend hours in just the play area. Last thing, the pizza was actually really good. I would almost go there for just the pizza if it weren’t too crowded. Highly impressed with this establishment.

Great place to take the big and little kids for a day of wild fun! Food is good, rides a hoot and games, games, games to keep them busy all day! They have military discounts as well! Highly recommend!
Jim Lewis
Malibu Jack's is a great place for young kids. They have a roller coaster, mini golf, kiddie karting, an enormous arcade, party rooms, laser tag, bumper cars, dark theater, Halogate... The one thing that seemed odd to me is that NOBODY was bowling. 20 lanes and not one single bowler. Weird. (The lanes looked fine.)
Derrick Ivory
Malibu Jacks is extremely kid-friendly and the staff is amazing as well. An overall 5/5 stars! Would recommend this place to anyone who with children of all ages. By far the Dark Side XD was the kids favorite.
MaryJ Wanna2
First indoor amusement park we had seen so my husband and I went in to see if it was the kind of place our kids would love. Right away it had the feel of Dave and busters that has been taken up a notch with the addition of rides. I found it way less noisy but it wasn't too crowded. We learned it isn't just a place to let the kids play while the parents have a drink or a bite to eat. You have that option but we got into it, playing several games ourselves
We had a blast, without wasting ungodly amounts of money. We said halfway in well we can get prizes for them at least. This didn't happen as they had some cool retro items we had to have. Looks like we'll just have to return with them next visit.
Heather Basham
Went here for the 1st time a couple days ago and I was amazed!! I highly recommend bringing your kid(s) here and letting them play. I had just as much fun as the 2 kids I brought with me. So much to do and so much fun!!
heather Williams
Love coming here, the employees are helpful and so nice to the kids, an my children love playing all the games and play putt putt golf and all the rides and bouncy houses also. Can't wait to come back
Sarah Phipps
The games and rides were great! However when we went to redeem the tickets we got our son the star projector lamp and I’m pretty disappointed with it We plugged it in and it started to get warm it started to smell like ashes, we just tossed it and took the loss. Please if you take your kids here DO NOT get the star projector lamp!! Just over all cheap and dangerous!!
Sassy Warren
This place is amazing!!! Such a great time and they have everything from rides to games for you, ur friends, or ur kids. It was the best day date ever
5 minutes alone
It's a fun place for kids and adults to spend time together. There is arcades and a few small coasters. There is also a toddler place and a playground for kids close to 2 years and older.
The only annoying thing is that the actual rides they have have such a high limit on how tall a child has to be to ride them. Most of them your child has to be 36 inches+ high, even on the smallest of rides. For any child 3 years and younger, it's very limited on what they can do here. They can only go to two places in this building if your child is 3 years and younger. I know my child can handle a small ride if I was with him or even alone, but this place is very limited.
K “Aurora” Boyd
The ride all day deal is great. The game prices are more than high so be prepared. 20 bucks a kid did not last long. Our only real complaint was the laser tag. The number one thing we took them for. And its an hour in between each 10 min game. No reset takes that long. And you had to sign up for them in advance without any thing posted saying so. So being there from open to 5pm, they only got to play twice. 6 hours-2 games. Not equitable. Other than that it was good.
Brittany Gibson
Took my daughter here for her 16th birthday she had a blast not the cheapest place but there are a lot of activities and fun things to do kids had a blast defiantly will be going back soon
Allison Smith
We had my son's 4th birthday party here and we had a blast!! It was reasonably priced and the pizza was great quality and hot from the restaurant. 1.5 hours in the cabana space was not long enough in my opinion, but that's the only complaint I have! We got an attraction for the entire day included in the party package which made it even better. Emily was amazing at explaining everything for us and she even helped decorate. Would definitely recommend this place for kids of all ages.
Bella Wilson
A lot of the games and attractions were not working or there was no attendant there to work the ride. My children were asked to leave the bouncy park because a child vomited in one of the bouncy houses (which was totally understandable and NOT AT ALL MALIBU JACK'S FAULT). However, my children were then stuck on one of the rides for about 20 minutes because the power went out on the ride and they were unable to lock the cars to let the riders off. Only one basketball game was working so you couldn't play against someone else - which is what everyone wants to do. Many of the attendants either had very bad attitudes, were playing on their phones or knew people there and was distracted by playing and talking to their friends/family. Just rude all the way around! It was just a complete mess! We've been coming to Malibu Jack's for a while and we're seeing it go downhill right before our eyes. We used to love it but now I'm petty sure we won't be back for a while. We left without letting our kids purchase anything with the tickets on their game cards. It was just so frustrating and exhausting that everyone - including the kids - were ready to go.
Zack Talmage
We had our daughters 4th birthday party here and it was such a good experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the pizza was good, and the kids had an absolute blast. When we arrived I let the person who checked us in know that we’d have a couple more kids than expected and need to purchase more cards. She just switched us to the step up birthday plan and saved us money and it was really easy. Thank you for a great experience!
Nichole Mason
Great place for older kids and adults. My family and I love it and also Me and my fiance are thinking About doing the overnight thing! Sounds pretty fun!!! I would say it'll be a great experience and a great fun night to spend with your significant other !!!
Rodney Hensley
Took my kids to a party, and they had a wonderful time Great place to hang out for a couple hours
Katie Sawayda
This place has a little of everything. We went on a Saturday night so it was pretty busy, long lines for certain attractions. Bowling was a 40 min wait, but lots of fun. Bounce area was a little too busy unfortunately, but looked like fun. Lots of arcade games, pretty pricey for what it is, but I'm sure everything is anymore.
I love that we have an indoor escape during the winter so we can get out of the house and have some fun.
matt fera
Everything they have is almost what it's supposed to be. Indoor go-karts? Electric and small. Mini golf? Simple and small. Laser tag? One floor that you can see end to end in. But for what it is, my daughter and I had a good time.
We had soft pretzels and they tasted like they were stale. The staff at the front and the staff at the food counter were very friendly though. It also seems like a very safe environment. The party rooms look great.
Lesley Elmes
We've spent several birthdays here with our nieces & nephews. They've always had a great time, & we have a great time watching them. It's pricey, but all of these types of venues are. And the variety of activities is great for all.
J D
Always lots of fun here. They have a large indoor playground for kids, a ton of games, and a large selection of food. They also have a pretty fun putt putt course and a couple of indoor rides including a screen-based one with seats that move.
Jeremy McBride
My wife and I were looking for a fun place to kick back and relax as Part of her birthday weekend. The arcade games are reasonably priced with good ticket payout and it's very clean. Plus the decor looks fantastic!

If you’re a gamer, bring your A game.
If you’re on a date, speak up or she’s not gonna hear you.
If you’d rather just chill in the cut and watch the GrandBabies burn thru a some of that 401k,
bring headphones.
Jackie Billy
My kids absolutely love this place! We spent got the bundle package with $30 in bonus money and literally were entertained all day long. We did putt putt, go karts, my daughter rode the coaster, and we played games to our hearts content. Definitely recommend this place for families of all ages, they have all types of budget options! The only complaint is the staff was pretty rude and many of the arcade games were not working. We will return for sure!
ShopaholicMaMa
Kids absolutely loved this place. Many arcade options and a few actual rides, plus VR games. The rides are pricier than I'd like. I wish they offered a day pass or something, but none the less, can't find another place that offers everything like this
Micah Alexander
GREAT place if you have kids. Arcade, mini golf, go-karts, bowling, rides, kids play area, laser tag, VR games & rides, party areas, food, bar. You name it! This place has it all! Thought we were gonna need to load our attraction card with a bunch of money. Bought $100 card, spent $20 lol, and we there for over 4 hours and had a blast! DEFINITELY bring the kids here🙌🏽 we'll be back for sure!
Dejalil
We spent 20 dollars and was here for hours! We had a blast! Absolutely love thus place. Definitely will be coming back. Highly recommend sitting three cold days.
K. Lo
Very nice venue. Lots of entertainment options for ALL ages. Clean and fun, family friendly atmosphere. A bit pricey, but not totally outrageous. We will be back!
michelle Brown-Maddox
Kids liked it. Activities are rather expensive but fun with various games and activities for different age levels. The use of cards that keep track of winning points is useful.
steven schmidt
Loved the cyber deal. Kids had so much fun. Please do this more often. Shout out to the food prepping and cooks today, so so so good.
Sarah Harley
The kids love coming here! The staff is very friendly and fun. I would recommend for a family day out! Always check groupon for discounts!!
Meagan T
Pros:
-good gaming and arcade system
-fun games with everything that my family loved
-minigolf, racecars, food, lasers, and a lot of arcade
-prizes and nice people with manners
Cons:
-not a lot tixkets to earn at A LOT of machines, but a few for me(pixel chase and ticket grab) were really profitable
-the prizes are not broad with lots of selection. Most are barbies, guns, and candy. There should be more things for teens and possibly grown-ups.
But overall this place is very nice and fun for family. I revommend going right when it opens toavoid the crowd. Loved it!
Kurt B
Pros
- The place is clean, and you can get an Icee.
Cons
- none of the tech worked: No laser tag, the halo game, and none of the VR worked at all. Apparently, they were waiting for “maintenance” to show up to fix those things, but no one was around who could get things working.
- Management hadn’t set up the “Unlimited” button at the register, so we had to purchase the “pay as you go” passes, which turned out to be a good thing since so many of the games were down. I would have done the go carts, those looked fun, but my card ran out of cash.
If the high-end games/VR and laser tag were up, they could have earned a 5. As it is, management needs to get on the stick and make sure things work, particularly on a holiday weekend.
Jade Brodeur
Super fun!! Wave rider was awsome!! There are go karts and bumber cars, mini golf, lazer tag all sorts of stuff... wish there were a few more indoor attractions but all in all its a lot of fun👍🏻 …
Christopher Bryant
Always fun always busy! Avoid weekends and evenings if you have a crowd issue. Personal space is lacking during busy times. Great place for kids to let loose!
Laura Hamann
We stopped in to check it out knowing that we had only an hour. They have some fun rides, games, laser tag and golfing. Everything cost quite a bit except golf- I don’t think $7 a game is too unreasonable. We let our son ride one carnival type ride. The guy scanned the passes with the funds on them and let everyone take their seats on the ride and then left the area for a good 15 or so minutes without warning. He eventually came back and the ride was fun but not sure it was worth $5 per ride. If this review helped you decide, please hit the like button!
Mindy Baker
This place was SO amazing. TWO indoor go cart tracks, a really fun indoor ride that you would expect at an amusement park kind of like the tilt a whirl, but it goes up and down and forward and backward REALLY fast, GIANT laser tag arena, bouncy house park with quite a few big bouncy houses, lots of arcade games, miniature golf, 3D roller coaster rides, and decent prizes for the tickets you earn playing games. I just can't say enough about how cool this place is. It wasn't outrageously expensive either. They had really good deals on multiple things/games, and there was plenty of room for the crowd that was there on a rainy Sunday afternoon over spring break. They also have a restaurant/snack bar with a Good variety of things to choose from and lots of room for parents to sit back and relax while the kids play. So glad I found this place!!! If you like to have fun, you DEFINITELY have to check this place out. I will definitely be coming back the next time I'm in Louisville with the kids.
Margaret Smith (Maggie)
This place is awesome and CLEAN! The inside looks like "paradise" is what my 7 yr old said! Ideal for children 5 yrs old and up. My 7 and 9 year old had a blast. Many activities to choose from. Friendly helpful staff, food was good. The place is big enough to were even though it was busy it wasn't hectic. Definitely recommend and will return!
Jay Cadmus
First visit to a Malibu Jack's facility and I'll admit, for being open in the middle of the pandemic, their place was enjoyable even with new covid protocol in place. I did go in mid-afternoon hours so this huge indoor theme park had more than enough elbow room with hardly anyone around during that time frame. It made me feel much more comfortable in a public setting with my kids knowing the risk was much lower from exposure with very few people around. There were sanitation stations throughout the place and signs to remind everyone of cleanliness guidelines. We used the hand sanitizer that was available after handling each arcade game. After a round of the fun indoor go karts, we took a turn on trying out the Dark Side 4D motion theater (super fun and highly recommend!). I didn't mind waiting a couple minutes to hop in a chair because the staff wanted to make sure all was thoroughly sanitized. We also had a small lunch there and food was good. I also really like that everything you do is from a swipe of a cash card that you can reload and pay into. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to try everything out. There were a few amusement rides that seemed cool. I really wanted to try the VR simulator, minigolf, and bowling. The kids never wanted to leave.. Maybe next time!
Overall, it's clean, upkeep is superb, staff is friendly, decent food, good fun, and it's much needed during these trying times. I look forward to coming back soon and so do my boys! Big thanks to the staff there that put in the hard work to ensure everyone's health and wellness safety.
Maria Huerta
My kids love this place and I do too because I can take them to the park even on winter season they blow our steam and I relax as they are safe also in the playground
Todd Epley
They have plenty of games and things to do for the kids. It seems to be a bit overpriced and there was a decent amount of broken machines when we took our son there. Some of the employees were a bit unpleasant but overall it's a good place to take your kids for them to have fun.
Ray72sn
I'm a break it down in to section because this place offers alot.
Arcades: I would give this place a 5 star if it wasn't for this section. Most claw games were empty, not working or set up so that you couldn't even reach the prizes. Also a good hand full or two of the arcades had errors and were unplayable. Upside Most were pretty cheap. A price range of .75 to 1.75 from what I've noticed.
Prize Area: This place had on of the biggest prices areas I've seen ever. They offered alot of choices but be ready to have alot of tickets. I think with how busy they get the should have 4 behind the counter instead of 2. I waited I'm line for like 15 min before I could check out.
Putt putt: Well lade out and looked amazing. I love the water fall you could walk under that was pretty cool. My kiddo played for free because of his age.
Roller Coaster: This is really a kid coaster. It was fun taking my kiddo on he really enjoyed it. I believe this ride is $5 or $8 a person. Sorry I can't remember
V.R center: This cost $7 per person for one game. I liked this attraction alot. It felt smooth and it was really intense. I recommend the zombie mode.
Indoor playland: THIS WAS PROBABLY THIS BEST THING FOR MY KID. I spent $10 to get him in and he played for hours. The indoor play area is pretty massive and has 3 bounce houses. The area pretty clean beside all of the micro germs lol.
Concession stand: I didn't order from here food seemed a bit pricey. If I remember a grilled cheese was $12. So that all I have on that.
Everything above is what I got to experience while I was there. They also offer Lazer tag, go kart, bowling, bummer cars, and one other ride that spins.
Shyona Lovelace
One of the best places to go as a family. There are all sorts of games for all ages. My kids and I really enjoyed every minute of it. My First time here and it was amazing!
Jamie Woodson
I loved it and the kids had a great time. The food was good and customer service was great.
Lakishia Lady Bug
In town for the holiday wked, wanted the girls to experience something different. All 3 of them agreed that this place was a "Good Choice". The Go Carts were #1 pick!
Krystol Hilson
This is a pretty cool place, it is on the pricey side but not too pricey if that makes sense. My family and I only did certain things which was bowling for $5 and that included one game and shoes! We did the Wave ride which was $5 also and that is the absolute best attraction that they have there!!!!! We did the Twist and shout ride which is also $5. Clean establishment! Family friendly for sure! Pretty good pizza available! Have fun guys!! Warning..the lady named Yolanda who works at the service desk was secretly impatient with customers..mumbling under her breath...I heard her say that people need to hurry up and get out of other people's way... really...these are children... children who see multiple toys and candy so they are gonna be undecided. I don't understand why people get these customer service jobs when they are not people friendly. Do better Yolanda!
Gabe Johnson
Food was amazing, service was awesome, and the rides were perfect. Also there was a huge variety of games and almost none of them were out of service. Would recommend!
Michael Lopez
Great place for children of ages 3 to 17. Racing, gaming, laser tag, and golfing a very fun and active place to be.
Terrianna Renae
today was my first time coming here and i honestly i enjoyed it.. the twist and shout ride was one of my favorites definitely made me shout! 10/10 i will come again!!
Jaymeshia Murphy
This one lace is amazing!!! There’s amazing rides, go carts, bowling, and arcade game to do. You will never get bored and I 100% recommend
E L
This was a fun stop to keep our kids busy while on vacation. Miniature golf was fun and challenging. The playground area in the back is really big and was a nice way to tire out the kids. There are games for both kids and adults. We didn’t ride any of the rides even though the kiddos wanted to nor did we have any of the food.
Krista Belle
Their new location is amazing even with the covid restrictions they are doing an awesome job I have kids ages 9, 4 & 2 there is something for all of them here its fun for the adults too love the new rides and expanded play area will def be going back soon!
Tabitha Smith
Great place for kids! My daughter and niece love coming here. There is plenty for them to do. The will spend hours just playing in the play area. We rather drive the hour to play at Malibu Jacks than go 5 minutes down the road to Mr Gattis. We are thinking about having her next birthday here. I would definitely try this place out.
J T
I greatly love coming here on special days such as birthdays or anniversarys. I always have a blast when coming here. As long as ya pay ya get to have fun for hours.
Rowan Hall
Very very fun. I loved going here for my friend’s birthday party. The rides, games, and go-karts do not disappoint.
Jaymeshia M
This place has the best games plus the basketball games here are better than Main Event. The go carts are the best thing here for kids.
Anice Chenault
We had fun but several of the rides were onlyopen intermittently and some were completely down which was a disappointment. They clearly needed more staff, but the ones we interacted with were all very nice and helpful.
SaveZeQueen -
This place is a blast to be at, It really helped me unwind after a long work week. I'd recommend going later in the evening when it's less busy. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was of how soon everything shut down, I wish they went a little later into the night for night owls like myself and my friends.
Crystal Knowles
The whole family had a blast there is something for everyone to do definitely recommend
Kenya “Juicy”
My kids enjoy themselves here they have everything bumper cars a bowling alley golf virtual reality arcade game and more
Misty Jackson
Fun for ALL ages♡
Jason Wallin
Malibu Jacks was a really fun and exciting place to take our kids. The food was good too!
Mays Fadel
Best place to take the kids when it’s raining outside !
Gracey chenoa
Great place to have fun with your kids year round. Alot of different options for all ages. I love taking my kids here. Best thing they built in Kentucky!
Nichole Mason
They need a few new employees. If you don't like children, you shouldn't work there! A grown man was hateful to my little girl because she asked him a question, smh! Will go back, but will be staying away from the people who hate their jobs.
summer little
This place is great fun! Great way to spend the day especially with children. Great rides, great service, great food! I had a wonderful experience and would recommend
Rita Bardales
a great place for family fun
Jessica Dewitt
I actually am one of your employees. And I took my kids for their first time and they loved it. We all 3 had a really good time.
Cowgirl Rooks
First time visiting this place .. took my 6 year old Granddaughter...Great place ...great customer service but half the games will take your money and not work... Had a blast with the ones that did work..
Miles Burkholder
The kiddos had a great time. We shall return.
Angelia
It's a wonderful place for your family. They have a ride called surfs up that's extremely fun. I have to fight with my god daughter for the tickets afterwards. You can redeem your points for prizes at the end.
Lydia Drury
Absolutely love the little kids play area! My toddler always has a wonderful time and she is easy to watch as the area is closed off
Alicia Johnson
Plenty of options for young and old. Fast rides and good games. The bumper cars and laser tag are 2 of my favorites!
Honey Honey
I met the PR Specialist, Madison, at Run 4 Roses. She is super nice! She treated my crazy bunch so well- even when my 9 year old kept running back to get candy. She is outgoing and knows what she is doing.
January Coffey
Fun New Peaceful exciting place for kids of all ages. kids loved it, new, exiting and unlike most of the usual kid places we have here. theres a really cool play yard area for kids under 5. its fenced in, supervised and secured. theres a general fee for this area for all day play. for less than $10 you can bring kid under 5 and let them play all day long while you sit on the sideline and read a book while knowing theyre secure. theres no time limit for this area at all and it was rather peaceful, set up like a beach with beach chairs and umbrellas, all i was missing was my margarita!!!
a little more pricey for bigger kids, they give you a game card and those games range from 25cents to 2 dollars. bumper cars, laser tag, golf are all extra. still after taking 5 kids with 2 half price tickets i purchased on groupon I ended up spending $150 and they had a blast. i would spend the same amount a chucky cheese, just for them to say this place is for stupid babies... says the stupid baby lol. i loved it, could go every day but not at that amount of money for a few hours. would love to see cheaper prices or family packs, other wise it was great.
Mary s
Love this place. Good prices and fun games for the entire family
Morgan Cox
We went here for our two year olds birthday and we had a blast!!! Will definitely be visiting again soon!!
The Bean
This place is very fun, but also overpriced. Although, by theme park standards, it is rather cheap. I definitely recommend if you have the funds!
Tricia Agrinsoni
Pretty good, kids loved it! They always have fun and love spending there tickets at the end. Staff was very helpful with getting our party room set up and helping get everything organized.
Steve Genslinger
Great place for kids,kept pretty clean
Would have been 5 star but a large
number of games out of commission
do to under staffing
Barbara Murray
Great place. Kids had great time lots of things to do. Bowling , rides and golf. Food and drink area.
Jay Wilkinson
Place was amazing, filled with everything that a kid would want to do.
Candace Gilman
Tons of fun for all ages
Keith Pharis
Super Duper FUN for these boys- they always have such great fun here. Clean, open, lots of activities... family fun
Emma Keeney
My kids loved the roller coaster rides and the racing games. My kids are 5 and 9 and they thought this was the best experience. I will say the prizes from the tickets are a little bit expensive if you don’t want to spend a lot of money to play games. But other than that it was perfect.
Michael Meoni (Meoni)
One of the best indoor theme parks in louisville. Me and my 5yr old go on wensdays when all games are 50% off. Decent variety of games and the indoor rides and play place are awesome. It reminds me of discovery zone from the 90s! We love it! My only complaint is the crane games. Granted they are fairly priced only costing 50 cents but be prepared for disappointment. We grabbed 5 different stuffed animals numberous times only for them to get released halfway to the drop zone. With that said if you stick to the arcade games and rides you cant go wrong! All and all 9 out of 10.
ant mead
Super fun!! Wave rider was awesome!! There are go karts and bumper cars, mini golf, laser tag all sorts of stuff... wish there were a few more indoor attractions but all in all its a lot of fun👍🏻 …
David Fernandez
My fiancé and I got to play a free game of mini golf on Halloween for showing up in costume. It was really fun!
J P
The reason I am leaving a 5 star review is for their customer service! I did not love their prices at all but their workers were incredibly kind and patient to this MJ newbie. If you have trouble thinking on the spot in an over stimulating environment with your kids hanging on you and begging to go play, check out the way they do their pricing prior to going. I had no idea you have to pay for each individual event and they do not sell unlimited bands which is what I was planning on buying (not their fault, I should have done my homework).
I wish I would have asked the young mans name working the virtual realty headset gaming center- he really took his time with my kids explaining everything to them and making sure they were comfortable for gaming. He even logged into their game and played with them which they loved.
Last but not least, at the same visit, my 7 year old really wanted to play a basketball game they have there which is similar to a fair basketball game with the tall hoop and long net. I knew he wasn’t tall enough to even get the ball close to the rim. The worker must have overheard us and offered to let my son “practice shoot” prior to using our tokens on the game so we didn’t waste our money.
So, I’ll definitely be back despite it being expensive. The customer service was excellent and everyone treated us with a lot of respect!

I bring my nephew here fairly often, and he loves it! He requests we go here every time we are out! He can play in the Bounce Beach area safely for hours for just $10. I like that I can chill and wait and watch out for him near the entrance and not worry about him leaving without me! Fun!
Dianna M. (Ms.PettyCat)
Took my sons here for their birthday. They love it, super nice place. Very entertaining. Huge place inside old walmart building.
Robert Berry
We have had a great time with the family and thought the arcade games were fun
Shannon Payne
Great place to burn off all that energy..
zakiyah
Super fun! Friendly staff. Great for all ages.
Mariah Gause
Awesome experience ! Will come back next time I visit Kentucky . Very fun and spacious .
Joshua Price
This place is a blast! We take our volleyball team there every year that we are down there. The kids have so much fun! It’s like a Chuck E. Cheese just bigger.
suhair fadhil
My boys had fun in there, it was clean and there’s a-lot of games, riding and bouncing for kids.
Isaiah Harris
The workers here are very polite and very helpful! All of the games were up and running and the mini golf course is very fun. I would definitely recommend bringing the family here, it’s not too pricey!
Christina Heeg
The new location is far better than the old. They have added lots of new games, several new carnival type rides, and will soon have a chic cafe to eat at. Most games are on the expensive side since they are so new. The new mini coaster they have is awesome!
Shania Dages
Perfect for my two year old to let out his energy in the winter!!
Adam DeSimone
Great new location inside the old Walmart. Looks a lot more like Lexington's location now. They're still getting some stuff up like the kids play area, so we missed that today. They will also have bowling soon. There are a lot more rides including a pirate ship, bumper cars for all ages, and a roller coaster. More games are a plus. Still the old stuff we like too from the old location. This place has a lot more to do now and is great on half price fame Wednesday's. A treat for the whole family
Charles Lomax
Kids play area is great with so many tunnels and slides. The arcade and ride area was good but could have been better if all the machines would have been working. There were quite a few machines that were out of order. I even got the top score on skee ball and it didn't reward me the accumulative jackpot. The mini golf course is better than the old one and always fun to play. My son had fun with his friend so all the little things that didn't work out or wasn't working didn't really matter in the end. I have always enjoyed Malibu Jack's and will continue to enjoy it in the future.
Cameron Noe
Our first time at Malibu Jack's was great. It was huge and very spaced out so it didn't feel cramped or busy. It was also very clean and the cost was reasonable. The only reason I took a star away is because a lot of the arcade games were out of order - so much so that I wouldn't have put as much money on my card had I noticed that beforehand. Would be 5/5 easy if the machines were fixed.
Danae Cassandra
I'm not the target audience here. Everyone with me had fun, they have several rides, a couple of 5d experiences, bowling, indoor mini golf, and a lot of ticket style arcade games. If that sounds like fun, you'll have fun. Come with $$ - everything has a separate cost. If that sounds loud, expensive, and full of children, you're also right.
Robert P
Great experience. Very clean, organized and staff was very helpful and friendly. Lots of options for any age. Will definitely be back.
Eric Jackson
Wonderful place for a variety of fun activities. Staff was very friendly.
Savannah Jones
Very fun and exciting to take ur kids definitely recommend
Rayne Wolfe
Was a fun place however the workers were horrible with service I get it was busy but they didn’t even acknowledge people who had been waiting for thirty minutes and were rude
Sequilla Ford
Fun indoor go karts and games, even a baby/toddler area.
Linda Waller
Friendly and helpful staff. We enjoyed our visit. Definitely a relief from the summer heat.
Kate M
Went to Malibu Jack's with Skyler and Grandma....we played so many games...had a blast...the Zombie virtual reality shooter game was amazing...we arrived around 7:00pm and stayed until 8:30pm....not very crowded...expect to spend at least $100.00 if you want to have a good time with 3 people for about an hour and a half!! Had vanilla Dippin Dots, a blue icee, nachos, and a hot dog for just under $15.00!! We will definitely go back again for more adventures!!
joealexg89 89
It's certainly fun, but also $$$. The arcade games will eat your paycheck alive, mainly because the kids love them but they are very expensive. Once in awhile this is OK but I couldn't go here even once a month at these game prices. Whenever they decide to make the video games .25 or .50 instead of $1.75 or $2 per shot, then we could come back a lot more.
Ms Ohio
Had a ball rides games go karts rock will be back great staff and friendly customer service we love u Malibu jacks will be back soon
Abby Van Winkle
I love how many options they have for kids of all ages. We loved going on the wave rider and twist n shout! We rode the wave rider multiple times and had a blast! Definitely recommend coming!
Henry’s World
So much fun! My 4 year old loves Malibu Jacks and it’s fun for adults too!
Kayla Head
Visited the Louisville area with a 6 and 3 year old. We had a great time! It was COLD outside so this was a perfect way to spend a few hours. There were plenty of activities for the kids. The holiday special was 2 for $10 on the rides. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area with kids.
Levi Kiste
We had tons of fun with our 3 year old super friendly
Christine Mefford
Good place for kids and adults, and not bad on prices either. A couple of the rides were down due to short staff but otherwise good experience.
daniela herrera
Very fun place for the kids. Michelle who was working the party check-in was VERY accommodating and very pleasant to speak with ! :)
todd davis
It was really nice to get the kids out and active. They really keep the place clean.
Brooke Wheeler
This place was a lot of fun and has something for all ages which is great, just be prepared to spend a pretty penny when you come. Arcade games $1.00+, and all the attractions are $8-$10 (on average). So, with a family of 4 it can be expensive. Pizza was really good too!
Dan A
Went with my daughter, had an issue with the machine not dispensing my card. Front desk staff made it right immediately. First visit was very busy and I was not too happy. Returned the following day and there was almost no one here and staff was able to do a way better job. Not a bad place
Cierra Barrows
Brought 4 adults and one 2 year old and we all had a blast ! Gym area was a lot of fun with the bounce houses and lots of things to climb on… my toddler LOVED the rides I liked that we could ride with her … the food was way too expensive but it was really delicious. All in all can’t wait to go back !
Ivelisse Caro
It was good. Bowling was fun, bumper cars where good as well for an indoor place. It was fun to spend time with the kids on a rainy day. Laser tag was disappointing, the space is small and they let to many people in at once. Been to better ones that have a second floor and better maze design.
Chelsey Noyes
The place looked awesome! We were all so excited to see everything. But..
The staff were all rude. Everyone and anyone I talked to or asked a question to got an attitude with me.
Most the games were broke.
The machines to refill the card were all broke so had to stand in a very long line to refill. Which we know with kids with us at a place like this ain’t the best idea.
And at ticket time we were clearly next and waiting at the glass case and got skipped 2-3 times while the workers knew we were next and even acknowledged us.
But the options of games and things to do is cool tho. Just fix the machines and staff and it will be very 5 star worthy.
Todd Shuck
The arcade section prices are very reasonable. There is a ton of games that will keep you busy for a couple hours on $20.
Mrs. Postman
This place is Awesome!!! Great for a family Outing!!! They have indoor rides, Go carts, mini Golf, Virtual reality games and a great arcade with several games to choose from!!! They also have a Bowling alley and a mini bar that is cut off from the kid activities, which is very cool! The staff there is great, we lost our keys due to the rollercoaster they have and they were more than willing to help us. They stopped the next group from getting on to immediately look under the ride and as soon as they found the keys they brought them up front!! Thinking of a place to go. Malibu jacks is the place to be!
Travis
Went on a Friday night. It was the first time my family and I have been there. The place was mostly packed but really no waits in lines, with plenty activities to do. And The place was clean.
The issues that we experienced were some of the rides and games were closed for charging. Also the staff were sometimes rude. We wanted to play laser tag. The next game for laser tag was at 9:30. So we came back around 9:20 to purchase tickets but now the next one stated the next game was at 10:00 now. So we went ahead and purchased tickets for the 10:00 and waited. At 9:50 we went back to the laser tag and it was now closed. Two employees were at the stand but said that laser tag was closed due to short staff. Now I do understand that places are understaffed. But I think they should honor the already purchased tickets.
Overall games were fun but overpriced. We will probably give this place a second chance.
Mark Kennedy
I was there for my grandson's 5th birthday. It is a good place for children to be entertained
Wolfie Lost
The games are always super fun! Way better experience than Chuck E. Cheese. Only downside is I come here for the laser tag and the games are only ever hour. Getting a staff member to sign up takes a while too
Karissa Jackson
We visited with our kids, 12-15. The food was good and not outrageously priced. The 5 of us ate lunch (pizza & drinks) for < 25$! We found the games/attractions to be way more fun than expected! The 4D theatre game made all of us jump and scream. The go karts were a blast (especially the turbo button). Hubby and I played mini golf and found that the course was beautiful. The facility was very clean and felt very safe. Afterwards, the kids could not stop talking about how much fun they had....and neither could my husband and I.
Yevonna Lavinder
Had a great time! Clean facility with lots of staff to take care of the place. Didn’t get to try the food but the drinks were priced fairly. Only complaint is some of the games were not in working order and took money off our card. Bowling was a great price ($25 an hour got us 4 whole games between the two of us.) we paid $60 worth of arcade game play and it lasted hours (about $1-$2 per game.) was great! Family friendly and couple friendly.
Tabatha Kirtman
So exciting...go carts, rides, games, and prizes...I absolutely recommend you go there you will have a blast...
Linda Johnson
Lots of fun for kids 5 or older.
3 years old don't have much that they can play or do.
Mike Frederick
Great family fun with decent prices. The go carts are worth the trip.
Hey Honey
I bring my son here a couple times a week. Bumper cars, go karts, a whole big bounce house area. Food is great, mini golf is fun. Love it.
LUCAS D
Took my Grandbaby who's 8 there. The park was clean overall. The food bar was dirty and looked like it had not been cleaned in several hours. One of the big rides, the Himalaya was not working. But was a great time overall! Is a little pricey. We spent $200 in 3 hours. Rides are $3 each and games $1.75 and up.
Linda Malie
I took my son here for his birthday and he absolutely loved it! His first time playing laser tag was excellent, and he felt satisfied enough to play for an hour or so before he was spent for the evening. Clean and the employees were kind. I was impressed, thank you!
Ashley Walton
This place is awesome! I brought my daughter here for her 8th bday last year and we have came several times since! It’s the best fun even for adults! We love the bowling alley and the bumper cars!!
Michelle Baker (Michelle)
I love this place! It was my first time here with my son. We came for a birthday party and had a blast. It was awesome and we're being him back after we get back from vacation. Neither one of us had ever been in Go-Karts before this and it was a blast!
Kjre E (Koji)
We came here for my son's birthday and had a great time. He really enjoyed the roller coasters, and the whole family enjoyed the games. Would recommend for a family adventure!
Madison Willis
This place was amazing! Our favorite was the Himalayan ride and that was very fun! But.. it went very fast and we felt like we were gonna get slung out of it! The arcade games were fun and so were the go-karts. They also had a ticket claw machine which we won every single time. We had a lot of tickets at the end and got many prizes it was a very fun experience!
HeyPeeps ImLizzie
Awesome! Lots to do! The laser tag was my favorite; It was more organized than most places I've been to. The games were also fun, and everything was clean and working properly. Will definitely return in the future.
Redhead Sofa
Mostly everything was working. The food is great and the mini golf is fun.
Jim Upton
Nice clean place. If you compare game pricing to Dave and Buster's or Main Event, they are the same. However, Malibu Jack's games are kid games and run about the same price. So, kind of pricey. I do not recommend wearing a jacket inside. It stays pretty warm in there.
Sean Gerhard
Most games were over priced and several were broken or down. Good selection of games but some were unusable. Staff was at times non existent. 4 star potential, 2 star in current state. Pizza was meh.
Jae Park
Brought my nieces here with my husband and had a blast. Only downside was the laser tag. There were wayyyy too many people playing at once and made it not worth it
Lydia Drury
Love the kids jumpy play area. My 2yr old always has the best time
Ana Cohen
This one had much more in it that the one in Lexington for smaller kids to do. Had a great time. Staff was nice and helpful. A little pricey though.
R. Jolene
Go carts, bowling, roller coasters, laser tag, plus all the claaic games and a toddler area. Lots of Fun!
D García
We had a good time here!!!
Keith Maddox
So many things to do! Very clean. Family-friendly, fun place for everyone. They're building a restaurant, which will be handy so we can stay here all day!
Hillary Zelasko
Me and my children always love visiting Malibu Jacks!!!!! There is something for everyone ages 1+ years. The bounce beach is amazing for my toddlers to just run free while my older kids hit up the arcade and my husband the bowling or puttputt!!
Tiffany Wortman
Very crowded but I can see why it's very exciting looking for kids but also expensive which is why I didn't give it 5 stars. Lower the prices a bit and maybe I'll give it 5 but all and all what I would expect from a kids indoor play place.
Victoria Gibson
Had a wonderful experience for a birthday party
Andrew M
We had a blast on the rides. For claw machines...they only have e-claw machine type, which is a bummer. Some rides were still being built.
el sony
Is a big place I love is better then that one's from evasville in price is good and a lot of areas to pay and have fun kids love it
Rodolfo Campos
Awesome place they have so much to do. Only thing is expect long lines at the prize counter only had one worker on a weekend working the prizes and for the go carts
Sammy Smith
Malibu jacks is everything you want in a family friendly environment! And it’s for all ages adults and kids alike!! I really love bringing the kids here!
Hollie Canterbury
My daughter and her friend had an amazing time!! Best place in Louisville to have kid friendly fun!
Sara Turley
We come here several times a year for fun family activities. You can spend a little or a lot and they always run daily deals which are nice. Very clean and friendly!
Donald McCoy
Great place but it would be more helpful if the staff watching the kids section would get up from sitting in one of the chairs to keeping the adults off the inflatables so the little kids Don't have to compete with the adults
Jasmine Mayberry
We had ot of fun the adults and my daughter but none of the big things were open..I was kind of bummed about that like the big vr game, the dark ride, the laser blaster one..but we are going back for my son's birthday in hopes of them being open a d the extra bucks for adding so much money really helped to have more time and fun!!! Loved the wave ride!!
Joshua Spalding
Very clean. Very fun for my 4 year old. Probably a little more targeted towards kids that are 7ish and up. But we sirens 3 hours there and she still didn't want to leave.
Sara Olivencia
Really fun place for kids of all ages! The best deal for little ones is the bouncy house area. For $5 the kids get to bounce for 45 minutes.
My kids love the bumper cars, putt putt golf, 3D rides and all the games.
The bowling looks fun, but we have not tried that.
I think it is kept very clean.
Brittany Boxley
Staff is cool. My son is getting older and taller, so now we can enjoy most rides now.
Billie
Super fun time for the kids!! We had so much fun playing in the playground area and the rides. My little 5 year old loved being able to do the bumper cars all on her own!!
Jason Holmes
Amazing fun for all ages. Spacious and clean. Mini golf and bowling and laser-tag and games games and more games. Very friendly, helpful, and welcoming staff. Will definitely be back.
Firey150bee
This is the BIGGEST and BEST arcade bowling and interactive features. The VR is top tier with the mini golf and the prize go karts
Tyler Wilks
The place overall was extremely fun and kid friendly. Some staff members had a slight attitude but it was enjoyable in the end. GREAT BIRTHDAY
Helen Cole
I enjoyed being here. Family friendly place with lots of room
LaShawnta Caldwell
Party rooms was great! Not many people in there now due too the VIRUS! Staff was good at cleaning up right away and wiping down often! Thank you
Julianna Monroe
Great place to take the kids! The only thing I disliked was they charged me on certain rides and my 3 year old because she HAD to be with someone over 18. I just don't see why you would charge for the adult when the child is big enough to ride. I wish they offered and unlimited option. Over all I loved it! I do think they should offer Food and drinks before 4pm or allow you to bring drinks in until then. My kids were super thirsty from running around and the food court wasn't available until then. Everything was super reasonable in my opinion besides some of the 3$ games. Bathrooms were clean and it was very well kept! I was also super appreciative of them not saying anything about us not wearing masks.
Leslie Anderson
We had a great time here on vacation! The laser tag was fun for all ages - 5 to 70. Will come back.
Trace and Kirsten Stutzman
The people at the front desk were awesome. They didn't have enough employees working though. We had to wait at 2 different rides for an employee to come assist us. I understand being short staffed, but there were at least 2 other employees at 2 different games/rides where NO customers were, just standing there, as we waited for about 5 minutes to get on the go karts. On a positive note, they had a lot of $1.00 games :)
rhoda jones
Our family vacation ended with my family at Malibu Jack's in Louisville, KY. My grandchildren and I had a great time playing games, laughing, riding the rides and competing against each other for prizes.
For a great time, come and check them out!!!
Helen Brewer
We had a blast celebrating my kids' birthdays! They now have bowling!!
Shana Bentley
We love it great people games a lot of wonderful entertainment for the whole family
Quisha Sykes
My family and I had a great time. They now close early. The food is not very good. It is understaffed but the staff are nice and patient! Could be a little cleaner just because this franchise is so popular in my city. Also more than a few machines were not working or turned on.
Family Towles
Malibu Jacks is a great family fun spot!
We did the minigolf which is a small course but has nice layout and can be a little challenging (especially the 10th hole). Also, we did the race track, bumper cars, and played games. All prices were reasonable. Could use more skeeball games is my only recommendation.
Christa Hall
Is it okay place other than they scam you on your cards cuz you never know how much is being spent
Eric Wilcox
Arcade, fair type rides, laser tag, go carts, jungle gym, food, etc....
William Decker
First time going the faimly had a great time.
Stephen Eidson
Great arcade with fun rides and helpful staff. A few machines were down for maintenance, but that's fairly normal for a large arcade. Fun for the whole family.
Daphany Horne
This was not a planned destination for our family trip but it was located near our hotel. What a great experience for our kids. We initially visited the first day we arrived in Louisville. There was something for every age group. The toddler Zone was amazing and our 3 toddlers stayed in there for a couple of hours without wanting to leave. Let's not forget the 18 hole mini golf... excellent. The kids asked to return the night prior to our departure. Request granted!
cory bennett
It was fun but it was real easy to lose sight of your kid in the under 10 area due to blindspots everywhere( my kid did have a great time in this area). The line for the gocarts was about 45 minutes and multiple attractions where down. The punching machine was taking multiple peoples money and not working aswell.
Kravxns FN (Kravxns)
I had my siblings and me come here it was a amazing experience there is discounts every day and it's not as expensive you also get bonuses for buying money on your cards like spend 100 get 30 extra also they have food and a place to make birthdays would recommend to come here if it's a birthday
Doug Edwards Jr.
Great place for kids! The kids playground area is amazing!
Kyle White
Had a great time. The laser tag and go karte were my favorite
Hannah Arnold
I had fun the prices were cheap and the employees are amazing
Paranormal Seekers
Amazing family game place. So much to choose from and fairly easy to earn tickets for prizes! We come often. Only thing I would change is it ripens early but kitchen on cafe doesn't open until 4p. But its still worth it! Our children love this place and so does the adults.
killroy Riley
Pretty expensive but it’s worth it. This place is tons of fun for the kids and adults.
Evan Durham
Had a great time. Fun for all the family
Keira Regal
The machines are fun and they have great prizes for your tickets! They have a roller coaster simulator that's really fun and a lot of very hard to get a way from games! 🤣🤣Only thing I didn't like was how pricey everything was, but I mean it is an amusement park so..... …
Olivia McMahan
Fun place to take the kids . I just wish more of the games worked ! Other than that it’s still worth the trip
Conner Wilson
Really good and fun lave.. 10/10 recommend
cmon200
They had a groupon for 20 dollar cards for 10 bucks. For 10 bucks you can let your kid run around am indoor jungle gym for as long as they want, in air conditioning.
Daniel Laney
Biggest and best indoor place to take the whole family in the winter.
Christiana Hobbs
Clean! Good family fun but on the expensive side. Get the Groupon to save a few bucks!
Bettie Peake
Some of the rides were to expensive. The pizza was good. The workers were polite. Had a good time.
weeyooweeyoo (no)
This is such a nice place to go with your family, it has so many fun games, rides, and even laser tag! Totally recommend for the whole family
Veronica Chandler
It's just ok. The staff were HORRIBLE. Not one seemed happy to be there and I was ignored several times when trying to get assistance. Even had one guy that was playing on TikTok the whole time. Also had SEVERAL machines take our money and not let us play. When I tried to find someone about those machines, I was again ignored. Honestly, just go to Main Event or Dave and Busters.
Domesticated Engineer
We went on a Sunday right at opening which isn't till 12. It was clean, no waiting in lines. Prices for video games vary between $1-1.75. There's go-karts, bowling,2 indoor roller coasters & plenty of video games! The go-kart guy was very friendly(wish I would have seen his name) but the other staff where you purchase your game cards then the toy shop for prizes could have been a little more friendly! These days that seems to be to much to ask.. However, Over all not a bad day!
Lisa Rhodes
Ample parking, games are spread out in a large area so customer can practice COVID rules, when necessary. It's easy to drop at least a $100 especially when you bring kids. It's fun for the entire family. Worth watching the kids enjoy themselves.
Nancy Randolph
it was great but I wish they had a water fountain inside where the little kids play cuz all they want to do is go get water and you have to go with them every time does running around and playing makes them hot and thirsty
Sarah Miller
We had a lot of fun today and my daughter had a good time, I just wish more of the games were working. There were several down that we would have liked to play and we had to get help 3xs for games that took our money.
Crystal Aines
Pricey but fun. The woman working at the ticket exchange was really nice to my family. She left a great impression on us as we were leaving.
Amber Barnett
We love it here. Always a great time!
Elizabeth Calloway
This place is nice enough, but the prices are crazy. Especially for the arcade games. An average of a dollar minimum for 1 game play is insane. To make it worse their ticket costs are way high for any prizes. Another part of their not customer focused mentality is if you are 9 tickets short of something, or some other small amount there's no option to get pay the difference so you basically lose it if you don't or won't be coming back. It will probably be an option for bowling, go karts or mini golf mini trips but that's it. I will never go back to that arcade. I felt robbed. And if there is an unlimited play card, which I doubt, they don't make it known. Oh and BTW if you pay a good amount for a party and you do get unlimited play for that party, you are not allowed to get tickets/ prizes. I read that in their flyer. Really not a great experience. The worst part of tonight was we had to pay $5 a person for this 4d super short movie , and they gave us a pair of glasses that didn't even work for one of us so we just lost that money. It's unlikely I will be back with my family unless I can't find cheaper mini golf or glow bowl in the city. Otherwise it will be chuck e cheese. Much more customer oriented and it's basically right across the street!
Jonathan Hann
Fun place kinda expensive but fun.
Savannah Hanson
I had an amazing time at Malibu Jack's because of all the roller coasters and amazing employees
Ryan English
If you have a toddler it's a great place for them to have a blast with other kids while the weather is not so great.
Catherine W
A lot of fun things to do. Sometime you have to be patience when things didn't work like at the arcade and also be patience with the staffs. They are trying their best but have to deal with young kids who try to sneak into laser tags and among other stuff. But it is fun place to be.
Maden Jaden
Loved it!!! I came in on Friday and there was this young man named Steven running Go-karts. He assisted us in anyway he can saw he was losing his cool a little bit, but still kept a positive attitude throughout the whole race. I would definitely come back to Malibu Jacks if he was working there. Also, the rollercoaster in the back was cool. I didn't get the operators name, but he was very caring. Recommend this place 100/10.
Nola's World
My family's 1st time & we ❤ it! We will definitely be back!!!
Edwin M Torres
Absolutely tue best indoor place for the whole family! Something for all ages, kids love to play for tickets, go karts, indoor playground and VR games.
Laura Proctor
We came to Malibu Jack’s for a end of season soccer party. We had a blast. The pizza was great, the games were fun and the place was really clean.
Tony Bobbitt
Great place for a birthday party. Some of the games weren't working, but there is enough other things to keep the kiddos occupied
Amber Wright
Always amazing! Wonderful place to bring toddlers
Kyle Brewster
Awesome place. Kids had a blast
Ruthie White
My first time there and had a great time today with my family.
Ashley Williams
This is a great place to hang out! There’s rides, games, putt putt, and bowling! This is very fun and a great place to spend some time here
D Temp
My kids love this place . The bounce beach is a bit pricey, especially when there isn't much staff in the area. The 1 bounce castle wasn't even inflated they still wanted 10. Maybe 4-6 credits is fair.
Bret Osborne
We have been going here for years at the old place and came to check out the new place. It’s really nice and big! I really do hope the new location brings them lots of success, but there is still a lot to complete before this place is fully up and running. 3 stars due to pricing. It is disappointed to ride the roller coaster at $5 a rider. For a family of 4 that’s $20 and we just walked into the door and the kids can’t ride alone due to height. Almost every game cost at least $1, which doesn’t seem bad, but the kids want tickets, and they are only getting 10-15 a game. Expect to drop $100+ a visit for a family of 4 to interact and play along with your kids. That’s what we pay per visit.
A suggestion to the owners would be to lower the price point on the games and increase the valued price of the redemption items. It would at least give customers the feel of a better value while playing games.
I’m sure we will be back again once renovations are complete.
Ajike A
Lovely clean place for kids to enjoy themselves.
Kyle Phillips
Great arcade. Games and such are very reasonably priced. The games and other events (put put, etc) are in good shape and very clean. No games stealing money +++. A very good time of play to cost value that's probably better than all the arcades I've ever been to.
Jazz S
Had a very fun night. It was clean, not too crowded, and things were pretty reasonably priced for an arcade. My only issue was the service. At the end of the night we went to cash in our tickets and four staff members looked at us and walked away without helping us. We were clearly waiting at the front desk for some help. I had to walk towards the back near the stock room to ask the employee in there for help.

It was really good all of the staff were very nice and willing to help and the people there were really nice and a good built community because nobody was running wild or ruining others experiences and overall is a 10/10 due to staff games and community

Malibu Jack never fails to disappoint me and my son absolutely love this place there's quite a lot to do when you come here do your best and have the best time of your life and have fun.
Daniel Dillard
The place is awesome. If you remember River Fair in Southern Indiana, this is the closest thing to it in the area. Reasonable pricing, accessibility is excellent, and the staff are good too. A little short staffed but they're doing great. Weekdays are the best here.
brad gunter
Always a good time. Get the $100 deal with a $30 bonus and you'll be there for hours. Ticket prize line is usually long but usually goes quicker than you'd think.
Samantha Blank
Absolutely love this place! First time we went it was just me and my boyfriend & had a blast! The staff was supppper friendly & helpful! We’ve been a few times with my boyfriends kids and they keep asking to go back! And we most definitely will be back soon!!
Only a few suggestions. Staff should not be eating pizza in one hand & handling money or interacting with guests at the same time. And please get some more wet floor signs! The roof was leaking from the AC and staff was notified and they told us they were out of wet floor signs so they didn’t do anything at all.

The children had a great time. It us very expensive as we took three children. They all loved wave rider and Road about six times. Some of the rides were not open with no attendant to operate. The food is very expensive. We spent two hundred and fifty dollars in about two hours. If you have a large family you may want to have a lot of money. When I added the cost of wave rider only one ride , it cost one hundred five dollars for them to ride. I guess I allowed them to ride too much, as that was want they liked the most. Not sure I will go back due to the cost.
Ben Lew
Took the kids. They loved it. Would definitely recommend to other families.
James True
A nice place. I fell it's a bit over priced. For a family of we spend 170 for about hour and half of fun. 5 dollar for the roller coaster ride. 1.50 to 2.00 for games.
KayLa
Kids LOVED it. $106 got us 140 Malibu bucks. Its on a card so it is easy to keep track of. Some games were unavailable due to social distance guidelines. There was hand sanitizer anywhere you could have needed it. All staff were in face coverings and were very friendly. My kids ( ages 5 and 11) husband and I enjoyed 3+ hours of games and rides as well as mini golf. Awesome VR experience, bumper cars and go karts are king. Tickets are easy to accumulate. Good variety and fun for all ages LITERALLY.

This place was SO amazing. TWO indoor go cart tracks, a really fun indoor ride that you would expect at an amusement park kind of like the tilt a whirl, but it goes up and down and forward and backward REALLY fast, GIANT laser tag arena, bouncy house park with quite a few big bouncy houses, lots of arcade games, miniature golf, 3D roller coaster rides, and decent prizes for the tickets you earn playing games. I just can't say enough about how cool this place is. It wasn't outrageously expensive either. They had really good deals on multiple things/games, and there was plenty of room for the crowd that was there on a rainy Sunday afternoon over spring break. They also have a restaurant/snack bar with a Good variety of things to choose from and lots of room for parents to sit back and relax while the kids play. So glad I found this place!!! If you like to have fun, you DEFINITELY have to check this place out.

Loved the set up my family fun
siri perugu
Our friends with a toddler were visiting and we were searching for an indoor place to keep the little one entertained. Found this place to be a blessing. They have all kinds of games and an excellent arcade which was being maintained well. There was also a separate section with bouncy house and playground settings with 45 mins slot,which we used, to keep the little one occupied.She had fun. The covid regulations and the precautions were being maintained. The food inside the place was tasty. Overall it's a good experience.
Carter Bessette
It was really fun and was a good experience. Place is very clean and is a good environment
Tom Brevig
Great family entertainment. Our family especially loved the go carts and bowling
An Hamman
Great place to take kids of all ages. Activities range from putt putt to go carting, bouncing area to bowling alley.
J H
The best place for family and grandchildren. Thanks for taking care of us as Veterans too. This is a great place and friendly staff
Brandy Hilshorst
A great place to go as a family. Fun for the kids and the adults. We have 3 boys and we spent about a 100 to 130 everytime we go. You can spend whatever you want though. The rides are great, the games are fun. They have putt putt and go carts. My kids also love to play in the beach area. With the slides obstacles and bouncy houses and it's 5$ per kid for 45 minutes. Make sure you wear socks if you want to do that.
Amy Barr
We call this place Kid Vegas. We went for a friend's birthday party for her son. There's a nice bowling alley, indoor roller-coasters, lots of video and other games . It's pretty loud with lots of flashing lights. We spent most of our time in the fenced in, under five area. It has bouncy houses, climbing mazes and foam building blocks for little guys. Both my kids loved it.
Lindsay Hanson
Great place!!! We have something similar in our town but this is a lot nicer and CHEAPER! I put $100 on a card for my daughter and I and we had money left over and we did almost everything! We had so much fun. The putt putt course is BEAUTIFUL and everything is clean. Highly recommend.
Lysle Tankersley
Fun experience overall but would have liked to see more things for younger children. Bowling was fun and the roller coaster was too. Has a inside cart track and bumper cars. Food wants too good and is why the stars went down.
Alexa Knight
I love Malibu jacks. Such a clean and fun environment! Perfect spot for a date night. Love this location!
Olivia Biller
Loved this place! A great place for children and adults. Such a fun day.
Logan Buck
It was a very fun and entertaining place, if your looking for a good time, here’s a place to go.
Kayla Walters
First visit today since they moved locations. I am SO IMPRESSED! This place is a kids dream. It is huge! Rides, arcade, huge area for toddlers. Everyone was so friendly. Malibu Jacks blows Main Event and Dave and Busters our of the water. Its gorgeous, and so clean. It’s much more affordable as well. We can’t wait to go back!
Mark
Even though all we did was look around, it looked like a great time for the fam and their kids!
Victor “Taco” Suarez
Good cheap fun for the kiddos. Geared towards younger children though. The go karts were kinda lame. The 4D amusement ride, made up for it though.
Mihos Dallasmultipass
My grand kid had a blast here for his birthday! Some of the rides were closed, maybe due to understaffed. We went on a weekday, so maybe just that.
Stacy
New location is Very clean better than it ever was before! Better than the Lexington location it has a mini roller coaster and carnival rides and bowling. All the attractions and games use the same play card.. Put money on play card come back when you want!
Karla Morey
Fun, but expensive. We went with a group for a 3hour unlimited event, which is the way to go. If you go any other way, the individual activities and games are very pricey!!
Amber Paragon
We had so much fun here today. Definitely worth the money for the family fun
samantha smith
Very neat and clean, lots of things to do in there. My daughter favorite thing was the bumper cars. Will be going back again.
Erin McDonald
XRIDER is a must. Go carts are great, good track, good speed. Decent mini golf as well. Lots of crane type games, few classic video games.
Gregory Boyle
The only thing holding this place back from a 5 star review is how many pieces of equipment are down for repair, and some have been inoperable for several months
Kenny O
always great and somehow seems to get better everytime, this time the surfers ride and thr 4d games were running and were so much fun, not only that, but for less than 5 bucks you a person you can do a round of bowling including shoe rental??? Plus unlike half the game style arcades around here ,not only was the food top notch but the prices didn't break the bank at all, 10/10 will be back soon
Side note, although only like 10% the fact they offer a student discount with id is great
Patrick
Lovely experience my boyfriend had such a lovely time I caught him in the moment not paying attention lol he was too involved in the gaming experience. Such a fantastic evening with the loml and an even better time after ;). Will be back again with my good buddy nedley figmon he loves the games.
Arane Wilks
I had fun playing games at the arcade, laser tag, and the VR experience but some of the employees had poor attitudes.
Jason Maurer
It was clean, not too crowded. The go cart track is small but the carts are fast. You get 3 turbos and the raceway monitor can cut people's speed if they get too aggressive. The play area is huge with up to 4 stories tall, multiple slides and passages. Bouncy houses and a separate area for 5 yr old and younger. It was easy to spend $50 on The 2 hours my family of 4 spent there. Great memories.
FoxlinMysteryStudio
Great experience, fun games, fun rides all indoors. I recommend the Go-Karts
jen jones
Fun time was had by the kid. We hadn't been since they moved. The kids play area is amazing. I'm like....well, I'm bring her here at least once a week for a break for me. There were a few mask non-compliance instances. But. The place is giant, plenty of room to stay away from the people who don't care about your health.
Willraejessica Jt Holbrook
This is the best arcade place and indoor rides for children I have ever experienced. I highly recommend this place to anyone. Giving as though it used to be walmart that was there you would have never known unless you know the area. Clean safe and nice! Can't wait to go back oh and also very affordable.
Heather Lasley
The kids had a great time !! ... The husband and I played Space Invaders, it was GREAT !!! ... Can't wait to come back 😁😁 …
Tim Nabors
Very Fun place. the Wave Ride was surprisingly fast and fun. There is plenty of stuff to do. I didn't give it a 5 star review because I don't know how the food is. The concession weren't open at the time that I had gone.
AJ Riley
Hot, costs are a bit higher than I would have done for my kids when they were younger but nice enough to go back to, to spend an afternoon with the great nephew.
Tiffany Jackson
Awesome time with my daughter. Games were fun soon much to do. We will definitely return!
Dedria Jelks
Love the rides and the decent amount of arcade games you can play. It's similar to Round One and Main Event, but their own twist. I spent a few hours in the place without realizing it. Would go again if someone is invited me.
Jason Mattingly
Decent variety of items to do for the kids. I will let you check the website for that. Food was better than expected and prices are moderate if you want to do most of the attractions. Took a point off for staff being indifferent and not real welcoming.
Linda mohney
The place is super nice. Clean and there is alot to do. I thought it pricey. It only too 2 hours for my Granddaughter to go through $60. That is one child. She had a great time. I was very disappointed in the way you turn in your tickets. It's a free for all. No line. There were staff that waited on someone, then would just walk away, not even try to help some one else or say they would be right back! It took a half hour just to redeem 250 tickets. The boy in front of me was there longer. Over all nice.
Olga Itkin
We came here for date night out. During this unprecedented time of being afraid of being too close to others, this place seemed like a safe choice. We were right in our decision. This place is huge! Everything is nicely spaced out and not many people even on a Friday night. We played a round of mini golf on their beautiful course. Not very challenging but still loads of fun. We’ll definitely be back to bowl or ride carts or maybe play the many arcade/VR games.
Kassandra Mccraw
So much fun! We just played golf because we were going to dave and busters afterwords but it was such a nice and fun course. Lady working the counter was amazing. I didnt catch her name but she was wonderful.
Stephanie Chumley
Awsome staff the place is so clean 🧼 got over 1000 tickets 🎟 my face just lit 🔥 up when we were getting there …
Meaghan Hamilton
One of the best places for families with kids. Always been a fan even when they were out blankenbaker and i love it even more now!! My family will definitely be making more trips here when we want to spend time with kids! The arcade is great, the rides are great, this place is fantastic. I hope this place only gets better!! Great job people!!
Eclipse
Malibu Jacks is an amazing place to go for birthday party's or even just to have fun with friends and family and contains multiple varieties of games and rides
Vonetta Smith
I had my sons 6th birthday party there and was told that I would have concierge service for my party. That did not happen. I had to go back and forth to the front desk everytime I needed something or asked a question due to no one be readily available. This took away from our party experience. Nice atmosphere for a kids party but the hostess service left alot to be desired.
Elizabeth Pate
This place has a lot of fun stuff to do. We take our 2 year old weekly to play in the bounce beach and he always has a blast. BUT, I would absolutely NOT recommend doing a birthday party there. Our experience with that was awful. You would think if you paid to rent a space there would be an employee coming around to the cabanas to see if you need anything. We had to stand in line to get refills on our pitchers, and they didn't give us enough cups. It was really a stressful disaster. I wouldn't do it again.
Anna Sinigur
A unique new place for indoor entertainment for kids and kids at heart. Busy on the weekends. Good during the weekdays. Clean and new. They sanitize and clean well. I like that they don't harass about masks, even though all adults have one 🙂 …
Kaylee Vogt
We had so much fun! The rides inside are clean and fun!! Great birthday!
Kristina Nova
I told The woman at the desk we haven't been here before so We don't know how it works. She explained the game cards and how to load money on them now and later on if you run out their were kiosks to load more. She also asked me if i was a colleger student, teacher, healthcare worker or first responder. I am a healthcare worker and she took 10% off our total. I thanked her for asking me that. My daughter had an amazing time playing games and riding the rides. We most definetly will go back.
Dan Ralac Hernandez
It was a fun time with my friend we enjoy our time here and all the rides, games, and food
Samantha Downs
Amazing family fun for all ages! Great, friendly staff and very reasonable prices with so much fun stuff to do!
Mama Mia
The place was mad fun and there’s a lot to do and the vr is really cool i had a great time :)
Logan Krul
Good family fun. It'd be nice to go somewhere that has everything operating so there weren't so many lines and you get the full experience.
Ben Hamman
This place is AWESOME! We are from about 5 hrs. away (on an anniversary trip) and my wife and I were both impressed with everything this place had to offer. Great place for the whole family. Friendly staff and clean facility.
Handy
The kids had a great time running everywhere and riding rides. Great experience, great memories. Only downside was the horribly unprofessional and attitude filled manager named Bridget. Avoid her and you will have a great time.
Sean P
The food here was great and decently priced. Loved the boneless wings. Mini golf was lots of fun, and they run specials through the week on the various activities. The games are really good, and you can accumulate a large amount of tickets quickly playing the right games. The Wizard Of Oz, DC, and Willy Wonka coin pushere are such games. The cornhole one also gets tickets quickly. A great place to take kids, and better than Dave and Buster's.
New Heart Outreach
If you want to bowl, you’re better off going to a real bowling alley. The pins are hooked up to wires or ropes and it hinders the pin action. I should of had at least 3 additional strikes. Frustrating.
Benjamin Thurston
My wife and I have been here more than I would like to admit, we've even been to the Lexington one, we have a ball. Not too bad of a price and they have a decent mix of games and attractions. They even have a place for bouncy houses for little ones and party rooms. All in all pretty nice place. It is more family friendly which we enjoy. The employees are nice.
Dani Derrico
We love Malibu Jack's for birthday parties! Lots of stuff to do! Clean place with friendly staff. Highly recommended!
Geneva Goldsmith
Super fun and great for families
Dino Githens
Great place for kids to run around and get some exercise...
twisted trevon
we had a great time love it
Joel Stinson
Really fun place to take the family!
J. B.
Awesome place for the kids and adults ! Wednesday is half price arcade games and you can win a lot tickets ! The bounce and climb area is great.... 10 and under unfortunately . If you put $100 on a card you get $30 extra ! ! From Bedford Indiana but worth the trip ! !
Andrew Kulinski
Love this place! The prices have gone up just a bit with the change in locations, but the new "Bounce Beach" (kids' play area) is top notch. They're still finishing development of the Grill/Snack Bar, a few rides and the Bowling Lanes. Can't wait to see everything completed!
Kimberly Repsold
Best AmUsEmNt park hands down!!!! I'll give it *****#20star$Tops*****
Eric
Great place for the kids! We went on a weekend & it wasn't crowded at all. So many things to do for big & little kids. Definitely worth going back again!
Chasity Johnson
The games and rides were very fun but the employees were a bit rude. Other than that it was cool!
Eric Fromme
Neat little indoor amusement park with good attractions and diversions for kids of all ages. The laser tag was a bit underwhelming and some of the games were inoperable, but otherwise a great time for our family of 5.
Jenni
Before the party even started, the 4-year old birthday boy said, "This is a good birthday party!" He had only had pizza.🤣 I told him that he should be very happy after cake, presents, and all the games and rides then. I think he had a great time! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Fun place for kids of all ages. …
Sidney Waddell
Always a great experience. It's the best place for a rainy day with kiddos
Sass MsAsh
Such a fun indoor theme park. This was my first time there. My family did bowling, played arcade games, and drove Go-Karts!
Definitely a great atmosphere for fun, I recommend this place!
Torrie Sweeney
Went with the family and had a great time, would recommend for birthdays
Austin Faith
Good for the family! Even has a great play area for the little ones.
Jordan Carter
So much fun and seriously amazing staff. Fair pricing for attractions offered as well. If you haven’t been, I highly recommend. Especially if you have children or even want a fun night out with friends.
Yolonda Greenfield
I am to excited we found this place randomly today! My kids absolutely loved it, told me this was the Best PLACE they EVER been in their Childhood and Ms. Hannah is FREAKING AWESOME! She was super helpful and very nice to me and my little humans... Bring your kids great place to play!!!
Giavanna Harrison
Great place to take the kids ! Plenty of fun, great food and awesome staff
saja hussain
Best place for your kids and you!
Paige Rolley
A lot of arcade games to play and earn tickets, redemption is amazing. They have ten attractions to have fun on. The company does their best to keep people safe by having height and age requirements for said attractions. They even have a play place called “Bounce Beach” for children 10 and younger. Bounce Beach is 5 Malibu Bucks per child THAT WALKS, mask is required, toddler zone is for 3 and younger ONLY, NO ADULTS ON THE PLAY EQUIPMENT for the child’s SAFETY, socks must be worn to play, AT LEAST ONE ADULT HAS TO STAY INSIDE BOUNCE BEACH WITH THE CHILD AT ALL TIMES, the start times for each session are posted on a sign outside of the gate, on Saturdays you sign up for bounce beach at THE CADDY SHACK. Bowling is all the way to the left from the entrance door, you have to go ALL THE WAY UP THE RAMP to get to the desk. There is even a restaurant called “Jak’s” (pronounced like Jack’s). Try not to get upset with the workers for doing their job when your child isn’t able to do something because they don’t reach the requirements, they’re just following the safety guidelines.
Bryan Cedillo
It was fun but most of the games neded maintenance and laser tag was long to play some games didn't work but it was cool and fun
Emmalynn Boger
I had a very fun time with my volleyball friends. I recommends riding the roller coaster.
erin king
I usually enjoy taking my kids here but I was not impressed with the lack of masks that children were wearing in the bouncy house area. I noticed when I left that I said "play at your own risk" which i can assume means your kids don't have to wear a mask in the play area, but your required to wear one in the malibu Jack's facility (which I don't understand.) I will not be taking my kids (twin 4 year old girls and 7 year old son) for a long time. I think all children, at least 4 and up, should be required to wear a mask in such a place.
Dorothea Maddox
I was invited to a birthday party by my neighbor and it was a great experience for my daughter, my grandsons, and me. My grandsons will never forget their experience at Malibu Jack's.
Kelly Hampton
It’s fun wish card system was easier
Shelby Arnold
Couldn’t believe when I walked in and saw how huge this place was! Came with a large family group and thoroughly enjoyed the experience!
Natasha Crowder
So much fun and the staff helped so much when we lost our car keys in the facility!
Cynthia Razavi
We had a blast! Would have given it 5, but it is pricey, and it is difficult to see where your children are while they are playing in the play area. They had one girl letting people in and out of the play area, maybe if they had some kind of band the children wear to match their parents... not sure, but they need a little something extra. Fun, Fun, Fun
JR Webber
Very clean inside.
They just moved so not everything is set up. The key things not set up are for the toddlers. I am sure it will be a lot better when they finish.
Party areas looked very nice.
Prices are okay. There are some other gaming places with a little better pricing.
Keri H
Absolutely loved this place as well as my 3 and 4 year olds. This would be awesome for a date night as well!
Josh Bell
5 stars because I can't give more! Ken took great care of us, like always, and this new facility is unreal. We have 4 kids ages 5 and under and we could have stayed in the play place all day. We didn't, however, because there are arcade games suitable for all ages, mini golf, bowling, and more. We got home 5 minutes ago and the kids are already asking when we can go back! And we told them the truth - soon.
Jo Ayala
This is my go-to spot for indoor fun. It’s affordable and there are games for all ages.
Adam O
Family of 4 with 11 y/o, and 8 y/o had a blast here! Only con is that it's easy to keep spending money here when the kids ask for just one more ride.
Whitney Hancock
Jumpy house area is huge. Some machines down.
Minisavage
It was so much fun. We had a blast at bowling and the prizes are awesome!
Paul Miller Automotive Selection Specialist
When my family came to town recently for a visit we decided to check this place out, and we were all very pleased. Great layout, friendly staff, and the card system for loading credits is very convenient!
Lane Hart
The perfect place for family fun at a ridiculously incredible low cost. There is something for everyone in the family to enjoy including slow paced mini golf for the grandparents. Everything is placed apart perfectly for your rambunctious children to be in eye sight. Look out Dave and Buster's Malibu Jack's is coming threw!!!!
Kerwin Ramirez
Really enjoyed the place, everything is well orginized and kept clean for the most part. Everyone have to wear masks and the employees are sanitizing most thing after every use they also have tables with hand sanitizer around the area. The only reason I won't give 5 stars is because the bathrooms were not so clean. Great prices as well.
Della B
The new location is just awesome. The inside is huge- they still have the go karts, there’s now a roller coaster, VR experiences, many more games than the old location. It’s not even finished yet and it’s already amazing. It’s free to walk in you just need a game card which you can buy in any amount. The games I played varied from $.50 to $5
Debby M
Attended a birthday party. Arrangement was perfect. We had out own space with plenty of everything. Whole facility was quite clean. Kids of all ages were having a great time.
Leesha Mohl
The kids love this place. They had something for all different ages. We did not do the go carts because my son was not tall enough to drive and we did not play putt-putt. However the go carts had a nice size track. Everything was inside so that was nice because I didn't have to worry about my kids running the parking lot. We played all the games they have some really cool games. We rode the 3D movie ride where you had to shoot at stuff and it was pretty cool. We played laser and our favorite was the 4D theater ride. It was really cool.
Jonathan Tackett
Very good place bring your kids
MrsGrant0709
This place is great!! It has rides and all sorts of games, mini golf, go carts, laser tag!! Definitely somewhere to wear the kids out!!
