Scandia Amusement Park

If it wasn’t for the fact that we received our passes from a friend for free, I would have felt very ripped off here. Half the rides weren’t operating simply because they didn’t have enough employees. You had to wait around for an operator to run another ride a few times, then come over to your line, leaving the people at the other attraction waiting.
The arcade games are a ripoff. You only get 3 tokens to the dollar?! Then most games cost 4 tokens so you’re spending over a dollar per game?! Then they don’t even work… such as the skiball which didn’t even register the points, so no tickets.
There were ants everywhere… not only outside such as along the waiting area for the go carts, but also inside crawling on games like the ski balls.
We still managed to have fun on the rides we did get to do. But this place just has a really run-​down look and feel. The unmotivated, depressed looking staff doesn’t help too much either.

Our third year for Sixth Grade End of Year trip. Few issues: They are under-​staffed. They will close certain rides and shift the operators around. They need at least one staff member walking around checking for line cutting, etc. The kids running the equipment are nice, but are not trained to deal with the students that are acting out of control Our staff walked around and kept our students in line, unfortunately some of the other schools decided to park their lazy butts and let the kids run wild. On the Swedish Swing kids were jumping off and jumping in line right in front of the operator. He seemed nervous to do anything about it, so he ignored it. When I intervened, a little brat talked back to me and then threatened me. I finally found her teacher and they did something about her, but it could have been avoided if the operator had done his job. I blame the lazy teachers from other schools mostly, but they need to step up their game here. I don’t think we’re coming back.

The food is yucky, not fresh and not much to choose from. We ordered the chili cheese nachos and the cheese was not hot, more like barely room temperature. The chili was gross. The pizza was just ok, definitely a frozen pizza.
The miniature golf course was covered in pine needles and other landscape debris. We had to sweep each green with our golf clubs as we went along the course.
The bathrooms were dirty and not kept up.
The prices of food and games seemed expensive to me.
Over all disappointed and will not be coming back.

Biggest Rip off ever I have Twins that are 2 years old and I couldn’t believe that they charge 2 year old!!! Not even Disneyland or knotts Berry Farm does that! They can’t even golf or get on all the rides!!! To charge a 2 year old $ 18.75 is a complete Rip off not mention when your waiting in line then you’re finally next to get on the ride the employee says they have to take turns to do the rides so they close it so they can operate another ride and then they come back I just couldn’t believe it! What a waste of time and gas! Not to mention my daughter had to use the bathroom and the floor was all wet and dirty just waiting for an accident to happen! And then I get on a ride with my daughter and the employee says to hold the lap down and then on the intercom says that they’re not reliable I couldn’t believe it how scary that statement was this place deserves no stars!

I get the bad reviews and I get the good ones. It’s really hit or miss here. Today thankfully all the rides were working and we got our money’s worth and more. Other days when more than three rides are down they shouldn’t be charging same price especially if it’s three of the main adult rides.
No outside food or drinks. You are forced to buy their water down soda and eat their junk food.
Rides are cool and a blast. Not enough workers around so you have to wait 10 – 15 minutes before someone can be available to operate that ride. Not bad still…
Overall the price and what’s offered is 5 stars when it’s all working and not too crowded.

I would give 10 stars if I could. I don’t review many places but after my first visit there and reading the reviews online.
Most of my stars is because of Alex for his ability to respond so articulately to petty overly dramatized gripes and grievances about how an overgrown bush left them fearing for their life and safety of their loved ones. His responses shows me this is a business that tries to ensure every guest leaves happy however there really is no pleasing some people.
Rest of the stars are because I had a great time. I went there for the first time on Saturday and definitely will be back if I get out of work on time plan to take my nieces to play miniature golf tomorrow. I’ve seen this place for years, didn’t know what to expect but I had a blast. Being a Saturday I expected a lot of waiting and really overcrowded which is not good for me, I hate crowds. When we pulled up it was about 4pm and the parking lot did not seem to have many available spots which had me worried but when we went in, it was not so bad. If one spot had a line we just skipped to something else. I didn’t feel like I was being bumped into people or people bumping me the whole time even though there were a lot of kids and the lines we did have seemed to go quickly.
I’m not big on arcade games but there seemed to be quite a few of them. I was a little bummed to hear no crashing the go carts but I do at times think of them as bumper cars. The boats are cool and fun to aim for miniature golf line. Even though there were a lot of people there I didn’t notice trash thrown about, had not a single problem with any of the workers and at no point did I feel my life was threatened in any way.
In the end, If you go to have fun, to enjoy the company you are with or just to kill time, you won’t be disappointed. If you’re a miserable person who needs to deal with their inferiority by finding things to complain about and people to yell at about them, check out price for knots Disney or 6 flags then check out the mall arcades, price them and tell me how their golf batting cage or go carts turn out… Wait what??! Cost too much??? Don’t have those there!!! Oh well then… Looks like you have another review to write don’t you?

Bad management!!! Long line, it’s hot, and Friday! Tell me why they got on person working the booth! Manage walks in and out without thinking, hey the line is long maybe I should help. Instead he acts like a douche bag and we all suffer for it! Won’t be coming back until they change there way of doing things!!!

This place is dirty, most of the arcade games are out of order, they don’t have high chairs and most of the rides are staffed by the same people, who go back and forth between them. It’s a little over priced in my opinion for what is available. It was a little over a hundred dollars for two adults for rides, one adult for just golf and two children age 2 and 5 years old (None who were about the height to ride the larger rides). The staff is friendly and accommodating but this place could really use some TLC, updates and cleanliness.

I came here last night with my girlfriend and got two VIP passes, which was a little costly but we had fun. The food is a little overpriced though, you could get the same quality food for 50% less at the ampm down the street. Would have liked for there to be at least two go kart tracks but I guess it was fine.

Go-​Karts, Batting Cages, Carnival Rides & Roller Coasters, you name it! They got it!
It is one of the more affordable theme parks in the area in comparison to the K1 Speed or Fiesta Village, and other parks alike.
It isn’t a place I would prefer for myself on the regular since it is a hit amongst the young children, but I would recommend taking your children here. They will have a blast trust me!
The hit rides: (For Adults)
Big Roller Coaster
Go-​Karts
Bumper Boats (in the summer months)
Space Ship
&
Boat Ride
The kiddies love all those rides as well but if they aren’t big enough they will love the carousel, school bus ride, and the planes! Heck even for adults! I will forever love riding on the Plane Ride LOL.
Try the batting cages too!
If you want some snack bar food get the nachos, cheese fries AND DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT GETTING THEIR FUNNEL CAKE!
The End.

Scandia was so much fun. It was my first time there I would definitely go back, the staff was nice and helpful. Was able to enjoy a wonderful day with my family.

Definitely one of my daughters favorite places to mini golf. Also a pretty awesome selection of games and rides for kids of all ages to enjoy.

I don’t understand why there’s so many bad reviews, scandia was amazing. My 7 yr old and I came here Saturday night (last night) for the first time and had a blast m All rides were open, she was able to ride everything, line’s were short even though the place was packed. The only downside is its pricey but hey its worth it. I definitely recommend you try the roller coaster!

The customer service here sucks. Went around 4pm on a Friday so my son could ride the rides. I made a point to ask about him riding the big coaster. The girl said yeah we have a couple operators rotating amongst the rides. When we get to the rides they have 1 operator and he says he can’t even operate the big coaster. To sum this visit up I’ll use my 5 year olds quote of «scandia is dumb»!

Too bad you can’t give 0 stars. Rides are fun for the kids, but not enough staff for each ride — apparently sharing staff between rides, even the most popular. 26 people in line for go-​carts, 15 minutes and STILL waiting…
Went to talk to management after 20+ minutes. Said they were filling carts with gas; no, there’s no one there, carts are just running. Yes, there’s some one there… Very rude, NO customer service.
Went to get something from snack bar, but they were too busy (3 staff) talking, and when I asked if they were open, just looked at me.
Needless to say we’ll never be back, and will tell all our friends and family, here and in Sacramento.

Oh boy, Scandia… So the website says they offer 150 games in their arcade. This is a flat out lie, and even if it weren’t BS literally half of the games don’t work and the ones that do don’t work well (loose joysticks, eating tokens, calibration out of whack). I was excited to go to a real arcade (bc 150 games, right!!!) but they burned me. So then it was time for mini-​golf. We walked outside (past the Simpsons pinball game aka the area that smells like stale pee) and started playing. Immediately we noticed the courses were poorly designed (balls getting stuck), poorly maintained (plant debris everywhere made it impossible to play) and the courses were confusing too! Half the time we didnt know where to go. We stopped mid-​game to get a refund (something I’ve never done at a mini-​golf place in my life). The lady at the counter just kept repeating over and over again «I’m sorry, we don’t give refunds» like a broken record. Then some dude (let’s call him The Grand Idiot) butts in and starts to explain how they only clean the course every 4 days. Ok?! How is that my problem, dude? Are you expecting me to grab a broom and clean myself? Am I supposed to pay for my own cleaning service? THIS INFO IS USELESS. Then he began to explain that the trees shed like crazy in the summer and it can’t be helped. WHAT THE BALLZ?! IT’S JANUARY, YOU STRANGE LITTLE MAN. Needless to say I will NEVER return to this cesspool masquerading as a theme park and I hope I never even lay eyes on it again. They treated us like we were stupid for expecting to have a good time. It’s an Amusement park, you fucks. Well maybe they were amused by our misery… does that count?

This Halloween haunt has a «wuss» count posted outside of the entrance. That kind of cockiness sets expectations very high and unfortunately they don’t quite deliver. It is a very good haunt, but not so scary that I could imagine anyone wussing out. The blackout maze wasn’t really dark. It was neat that they give you a photo of yourself from the maze. The actors and staff seem very nice and excited about the holiday.

I just came her for the batting cages and the token machine wasn’t working well so I went inside to play the arcade games and more than half weren’t working. Some didn’t give tickets (I was playing for fun but got upset at not being given what is supposed to be) and the other half of the arcade games would steal tokens. I asked if I could get refunded what was taken by the machines and I was told that I should have said something earlier and sorry but nothing can be done about it now. I will not be returning here. I suggest using your money elsewhere and the food prices are ridiculous.

Brought my son out here to meet up with family and all I can say is the place is very dated.
Most of the arcade games are old, and take a lot of tokens to play.
Selection for prices is pretty weak.
In order to ride the Go Karts with a kid thats 42″ as a passenger it cost $ 10 and change, I think thats a bit high.
Only reason why its ok is for the roller coaster and outside activities.

Came here on 7÷3÷15 as a plan B instead of Disneyland, what an old school type of place. Paid $ 56.00 for my daughter, wife and I to hang out locally and it was worth it. All the rides were open but you just have to be patient!
Customer service was pretty good and my alot of the kids there that day were friendly. The mini golf course was fun along with the bumber boats and go-​carts. My daughter enjoyed riding all the riders and the slide. Will be back next month.
