The Show Gamer

Dont waste your money or time, even with a Groupon this place is not worth it. Its extremely dirty and run down, many of the games were out of order as well as several of the rides. The kiddie carts were not working, the bumper cars only had 4 of 6 cars operational (we were told they were broken), the fence at the outdoor bumper boats is broken with no safety signs or cones (my sons friend went to use the gate and the whole thing feel down right in front of us - he could have been injured). The pump in the bumper boat pool is broken so the water is green and gross looking. The restrooms were beyond disgusting and several of the stalls were out of order. The staff is extremely rude and inconsiderate, they were short staffed as well - we had to find workers to open the rides we wanted to use. Water Wars was also broken, couldnt use that either! The height requirement on the bigger go carts is 56" inches so be sure to check heights before going. Our children were very disappointed and said they never wanted to go back. I couldnt agree more! All in all we had a horrible experience!

Omg!!!! I was so upset, my husband and I went on a Friday paid $65 for wristbands to go on all the attractions, tried bumper boats where the water was filthy and there was no attendant to let u in, tried go karts and my go kart broke down, tried mini golf balls got stuck on like the 5th hole, paid additional money for batting cages(softball) that were broke and i wasnt even offered a refund after guy realized he couldnt fix it, water wars broke and not even open, finally went back inside to bumper cars, no attendant and his bumper car kept cutting off (also broke) so Im wondering why are they accepting $$ with all the broke down equipment not to mention we had to hunt down staff on everything except go karts which had like 4 guys working like why dont up split up and work other attractions idk, but i do know i was severely disappointed BUYER BEWARE!!!

I took my 3 year old grandson here and he absolutely loved it. There are indoor bumper cars and he was able to go by himself. The mini golf was way too slow for him. My son and I took turns driving go-carts with him and he couldnt get enough. He also drove himself on the kiddie version. The drawbacks. The price. 75.00 for two hours of rides seemed a little high. Maybe for 4-5 hrs but not 2. Attendants. Attendants arent really assigned to a particular attraction so we had to go get someone when we wanted to ride the bumper cars or kiddie go-carts. And they had to split that time between the attractions and the prize center. The one attendant who seemed to go wherever he was needed was Termez. He was great with my grandson and made sure he had a great time while being safe.

This place has gone down hill. We paid $25 for 2 hours unlimited Go-Karts, bumper cars, mini golf, and batting cages. I was able to do 2 things because of the wait and no staff available. So not worth the money. We then had to pay for the bumper cars and 3 of the 5 cars were broken along with a couple of go karts broken when we did those. Some of the arcade games were broken and not much of a selection. Not only that, the staff were not very friendly or accommodating. Much rather pay the little bit extra and go to Edisons next time!

Paid $25 for faimly of 4 to play mini golf, played course 2. What a mistake. This course was terrible, greens were cut and ripped, wrinkled, water was stagnant and not flowing. Tried to speak with someone in charge but couldnt be found. I will say course 1 appeared to have brand new greens and water was a fresh blue. Maybe renovations are in the works, but they could at least tell paying customers that course 2 is under construction or in need of repair.

We had an awesome time. Lots of fun on the bumper cars. However, we had a birthday party and there were teo other parites at the same time with only one host. With the three parties it was to much for one person to take care off. We will go back to Gateway Fun Park but not for a party. By the time we got our pizza and drinks the kids only had an hour to ride the bumper cars before the parrty was over.

Our First Summer

Go Karts were fun. Batting cages didnt work like they were supposed to. 14 pitches per token was more like 2 pitches per token. We paid for an hour and the machines didnt work. Someone finally came out to fix it after 40 minutes. We received a 20 minute rain check from a manger who took another 20 minutes of our time. We will try again on the cages, but only because we have a 20 minute voucher.

This place is pretty run down. Mini golf course is dark and in marked. The green is all torn and wrinkled. The go carts are badly worn. One of them was smoking. Multipe arcade games were out of order. The place is short staffed. We tried to get drinks from snack bar and no one was to be found. We waited at the counter for several minutes twice and gave up on drinks.

Entertaining. The kids loved it. The employees were friendly. Not too busy (we went on a Thursday morning). Reminds me of a Chuck E Cheese with go-carts and mini-golf. Spent about two hours and the kids were done. A little old and pricey.

Extremely disappointed. This establishment has gone way down hill. Quite a few of the games do not work, most of the games cost a dollar (and you might get 4 tickets), and the staff is unfriendly. Drive the extra 15 min to Chuck e cheese.

You can win lots of tickets, they have different activities for all ages, and a snack bar. Staff could use a little more customer service training. Like greet customers and pay attention to customer when redeeming tickets for gifts.

No attendants at several of the things we bought tickets to. Ticket counter broke bunch of broken arcade games. Normally a great time but more frustrating then anything today. Hope they straighten it out.

We attended a birthday party here recently. The staff was friendly and considerate. The only frustrations I experienced was that several if their games were out if order and not clearly marked.

Alright place to go on this side of Saint Louis. If you dont want to make the 40+ min. trip across the river. Have not updated a thing for about 15yrs or so.

Staff was adequately trained and attentive, in need of basic upkeep, Im sure this place was something in its hayday but was still fun.

Jerry Kleeb

Not a bad place to take the kids to for an afternoon to get out of the house. Geared towards the small age in kids in my opinion.

The Miniature golf course was a blast. Inside was nice and neat. Looking forward to going back and trying the go Karts out.
