Boomers

Honestly from the reviews I was hesitant to bring my daughter and her friends here but we decided to give it a try and I was pleasantly surprised, went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn’t too busy and all the employees were nice and helpful, we will def be back!

I should come here again, I heard this place has improved very well. I heard the new play cards are good for the environment. But it could use one bit of upgrade like maybe add a carousel. Other than that, I hope to see you all again.

I bought 4 tickets online. I drove to this place with all the kids. Then I get to the front desk and somehow the 3 ladys that were there couldn’t confirm my purchase. Even with a Barcode on my phone. They all turn around and said they couldn’t help me with that. Because their general manager wasn’t there. I started getting a little pissed off. until a guy name CORY came to help me. He was beyond awesome
suggested couple of barcodes I needed from my email box. finally we got the confirmation for the purchase.
Boomers should definitely have more employees like Corry! He was professional and very helpful, he really cared for his costumers needs.
The kids had a great nite .
We will continue to bring our kids here.

I been coming to el cajon boomer for good six months now ounces or twice a week for about 1 hr sessions of BATTING practice but I been noticing that the ball coming out of the machine are a little bit too low to hit I HOPE THEY WILL FIX IT I LIKE THIS PLACE.

Took my son here for the first time in a couple months and was blown away! Things have improved greatly, from the quality of the landscape to the golf courses to even the entire system they use! They now have play cards you can load with points, and EVERYthing is worth a certain number, from rides to activities to even the arcade games! Makes everything SO much more convenient, and the place isn’t run down and dismal like it was starting to get the last time I was here. Staff was friendly and lively, also an improvement since the last time I was there! Overall, the place has gotten a major makeover and you can really tell. The place feels alive again, and my son and I can’t wait to go back!

So they have changed from using tokens to using the plastic cards. ALL GAMES HAVE DOUBLED IN PRICE. This place is a rip off. It has gone down hill they wont be in buisness long. Lost our familys buisness for sure. Crazy this place should be ashamed of them selves. ZERO STARS. ID HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. THE CLAW GAME IS $ 4.00 to play.

Place sucks did upgrades on games and prices are higher also didn’t let my daughter drive her own go cart cause she was a ¼ of an inch short cause of her sandals and forgot her tennis shoes also couldn’t go miniature golf cause no one was there and couldn’t keep the park open regular hours and were short staff don’t waste your time

This place has changed for the worse! Only 2 workers for 8 attractions, so you have to wait for workers to come. The 4 hour wristband is $ 40!!! We used to be able to come for the full day for $ 25 (with AAA discount). Now they have a points card– it’s a total rip off!!!
I’m sure they’ll be going out of business soon–
Don’t bother coming here!

We haven’t been to boomers in awhile and we stopped coming because it was becoming lame but now it’s even worse! They replaced the coins & tickets with this card and skyrocketed the prices. Where games were between $.25-​$ 1.00 now most start at $.55. We won’t be back.

Decided to drop in for some fun on Tuesday night (07/21/2015)with my son and his friend.
I could not believe that for a wrist band it was 40 $…let that part sink in first…
Then it says for only 4 hours… WTF I decided not to buy it… lol
They make you buy this card (Like Dave and busters). I bought the 50 $ card and they throw in 25 $ which equals 75 $ or 750 points… k you with me… we have 750 pts.
Golf was 100 pts pp (3 of us)… 750 — 300= 450
Bumper boats were 80 pts pp
they went on but not me 450 — 160= 290 pts left
The final ride was the rock wall at 80 pts pp they went on so 290 — 160= 130
So we didn’t even go on much. It was so dead there. At every ride you had to wait till one of the workers felt like coming over and getting them on the ride. Very understaffed.
Final issue was the boys wanted to play some games. I had to walk with them to every game and slide the stupid card,(I didn’t want to buy another card, they are 1 $). The place was depressing and way too expensive. Next time you want to have fun without being ripped off head over to The Boardwalk in El Cajon.

Was happy with the service at first but then this lead guy named Joe showed up & started being a real ass about the little kids getting on the rides. I would of been ok with this if it was brought to my attention from the beginning. Before i bought the wrist bands & all the credit on the card. We were the for almost 3hrs with no problems, then Joe shows up saying i know she just rode but she needs to be 2 fingers above the line not just about the line. So he seen her ride all those rides, didn’t say anything for hours then starts a power trip, really!!! Now the little ones can’t hardly ride anything & we decided to leave. A waste of my time & money. I will not return here im sticking to fun for all where they make there minds up for the beginning.

This place is a joke. I came here to use the cages today and they told me that I wasn’t allowed to swing my wood bat because «they will break because the balls are very hard.» Are you freaking kidding me??? These bats are built to handle 100 MPH Baseballs. I think they can handle your stupid little yellow cage balls at 60 MPH. When I tried to explain this to the lady at the cash register, all she could say was that my bat would break. This place is run by morons. Oh, and the place is a total dump too. I pretty much had to take a bath in hand sanitizer once I got out of there.

The service there is pretty slow, the batting cages are a joke. It took us 15 mins to actually get the machine going. Then we walk over to the prize counter and there’s a Ouija board?! What? No…

Good memories. But distant ones now. This Boomers is so deteriorated, outdated and unchanged. Old faded paint everywhere and horrible video games that are worn, broken or simply just take your token and wont work. Nothing has changed here is well over a decade except for wear and tear. My Son loves airhockey and we stop in occasionally for a father-​son war… but as soon as he leaves the table and looks for something else to play, he quickly either choses to leave due to lame games or he’ll play a few more air hockey games then want to leave. The bottomline is this Boomers has been maximizing thier profit on us while not caring about our experiences or value in thier spot. Well, we will go right down the street and get much more for the same price.

Damn this place… cheating us out the loop. Told me I couldn’t be a passenger on the go karts because I was «too» tall and I’m 5’1 but I seen two teens which were bigger than me get on them together and when I told the lady about it she was rude. Long story short this place is a fuckin rip off

Don’t have high expectations when you come here. Enjoy it for what it is.
In truth, though, I did have to beg my boyfriend to take me here because I was in the mood to play some miniature golf. It was near a restaurant where we were having dinner anyway, so there wasn’t an excuse *not* to go (lol).
This particular boomers isn’t in the best location and I’ll admit, a lot of the arcade games are dated and would find in a local chuck e cheese. And just like chuck e cheese, there are games where you can win tickets in exchange for some toy prizes. We didn’t play any of those, though. Boomers does have a large food court (their own food) but since we didn’t eat there, I can’t tell you if it’s any good (I don’t think it is).
Now for the actual mini golf itself… we had a good time! It’s not the fanciest place, but some of the holes were challenging and required strategy. There are other parties who are golfing there as well, so expect to experience some lag between holes. It wasn’t too bad when we went, though.
Lastly…I thought the bathroom was gross and the Ferris wheel does go a little fast for its own good, which I thought was funny.

$ 3 small corn dog
$ 23 average pizza
Attractions are expensive
Place is empty on a Friday night
Heard from other guest that the cars in the parking lot have robbed on numerous occasions.
Staff was pushing the party package but they did allow us to bring in cupcakes. So that was nice

Came here on a great day…
Get their $ 12 Thursday special! Play games all day and mini golf.
Blessed my niece and nephews with a couple of hours without social media :) Some of the video games were not working, but it was nice seeing them socialize for about 4 hours with other teens…
I personally was happy that they had hand sanitizers everywhere :)

Went to the Boomers in El Cajon about 2 – 3 weeks ago, haven’t been there in quite a while I thought it would be fun to go. It was fun, until a customer asked if me or my friends drove, turns out my car got broken into while I was there!!! I parked like 10 feet away from the door and it still got broken into. There are NO cameras on the wall to the right of the entrance so they couldn’t catch the guy who did it. Boomers was fun until that happened. Oh they helped clean up my broken window and everything and were super nice about it… but just a heads up, MAKE SURE you look for cameras and make sure you lock up everything, leave NO jacket in the car!

We had a birthday party for our youngest here and ordered the Ultimate Package, with all-​day wristbands for all attractions.
The kids had a great time. Anthony, one of the managers, personally attended our party. He did the set-​up and made sure the pizza came out when we wanted and set the table and then served the kids. He did a lot more than I expected anyone to and was super helpful.
Two attractions were closed, so he gave us discounts, plus some chaperone wristbands. We did not ask for either so I was quite pleased.
The kids played all the games in the arcade and we only had trouble with one thing, the giant claw machine, and they helped us out with that.
The only thing I didn’t like was that the floors, at opening, were dirty like they hadn’t been vacuumed. One table also had crumbs and trash on it. The sink faucets and drinking fountain looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a long time.
I thought the kids working there were pretty friendly, at least the ones I interacted with.
