  HORRIBLE OWNERS
  My husband and I took my son in to play. I was served by a grumpy middle aged couple (who I later found out to be the owners). My son is 3, and whenever we drive by this horrible place he is so excited with the castle, the blue water, and the shoe. We decided to stop by to play a course of mini golf. I was greeted politely by the female owner, and I just paid for my husband and I. The male owner just threw two adult golf clubs and two balls on the counter. I asked if my son could have a putter and a ball, but I was told "if he plays, he pays.".. what?? I am going to pay about $7(!!?) for my 3 year old to play 2 holes? Most places either give a putter and ball, with a paying adult, or offer a really cheap rate. My husband spoke up and said well, please switch my putter to one for my son, but then we were told "players only on the course". How unreasonable Like there was no one there
  I ended up just paying for my son, and I was wrong. He played one hole, not two. "NO REFUND" signs are everywhere, so I didn't bother.
  Then we went and played in the arcade. The girl working in there was really sweet, but I felt bad for her as half the games needed to be fixed. The male owner stormed in the games room, just as my son was running to a game, all excited. He snapped at my son not to run. I get that children should not be running inside, and I was just about to speak to my son about this. DO NOT parent my child for me, and if you feel that you must say something, speak kindly to children. Don't snap at someone else's (especially a customers???) child.
  We regret even spending a cent here. Will never support a business that treats paying customers this way.

  Long-standing entertainment park located just off the island highway, and attached to an RV park.
  
  They have 2 courses of mini golf: standard and pirate themed. There are bumper boats, kiddie bumper boats, an arcade, a café, ice cream, gift shop, and more.
  
  Great place for kids. I've been coming here every summer since I was young.

  Terrible such a rude man and woman who are the manager's. They couldn't care less for people or families. We we're booked into the rv park missed our 5.30 sailing from horseshoe bay due to a bad accident on highway 1 so had to catch a later ferry which left us late getting to our campsite. they wouldn't wait for us and closed the gate at 11.30, we arrived at 11.40 with 4 tiered kids ( one of my children has special needs) they refused to answer our calls on the emergency contact number we had called from ferry and notified them that we would be late. We ended up going across the road to the 24 hour McDonald's spoke to the lovely manager, and told her what had happened she then said we we're welcome to park in their car park. We went back in the morning and they were so rude and said they we're still charging us for the night that we had spent in McDonald's Car park. Long story short we left so very upset. Maybe everything happens for a reason and ended up in a lovely campsite called Cedar Grove what a difference in people such a lovely friendly campsite so welcoming. Absolutely would never recommend Paradise RV park- thanks to very rude management.
  
  Absolutely NO stars if I had the choice.
