Fiddlesticks

There are two Fiddlesticks in the Valley, one in Scottsdale and one in Tempe. I absolutely LOVE the location in Tempe because of their prices and the condition of some of their games. While the aracade game selection is limited to that of its competitor Gameworks, the prices of the games are more resonable than Gameworks. The main arcade building is somewhat smaller than Gameworks or Golf Land but it offers a warm snack bar with seating area, prize redemption counter and arcade games. Fiddlesticks offers more redemption games (games that give tickets for prizes) than that of the Mesa Golfland, which I feel make Fiddlesticks THE family fun center. Prizes are similar to those at a pizza center. Compared to Gameworks located at the AZ Mills Mall, this Fiddlesticks location offers competitive prices for their arcade games. Take for example the Dance Dance Revolution games. Gameworks charges anywhere from $1.00-$2.00 for 1 person to play a 3-try game, per person. Fiddlesticks on the other hand charges 3 tokens (= .75c) for 1 person to play a 4-try game. AND a 2nd player gets to play for free! Compared to Gameworks this price is a large savings, for you DDR'ers out there. This particular location also has a gold range, a water bumper cars for the HOT summer months, a go-cart track, and mini golf course. Definitly a fun place to come as a group of friends, as a family, or on a date to play miniture golf more

Fiddlesticks has been around for a long time. But its always been fun. They have batting cages, mini golf, drving range, and go carts. Also inside they have an arcade. The best time to go here is when its cool out! You can always find coupons for buy one get one free attractions at the dairy queen on warner and 48th street. Prices are reasonable, and it will keep you tweens busy for a few hours. more

Fiddlesticks is great for older kids around eight years old and up. They have go-karts, miniature golf, an arcade, bumper boats and batting cages. There are also some "kiddie" rides, but smaller children will be tempted by the bigger kid rides and there are height requirements. There is also a driving range so Dads can have a good time there, too! If your family prefers miniature golf, the course here is pretty good. It is not as imaginative as some places, but the holes are challenging. more
