Frankie's Fun Park

Instead of stressing myself out having a birthday party at the house, I decided to have my daughters birthday party at Frankie's Fun Park. They have arcade games, go-carts, bumper boats, putt putt, and several other things to do. I paid only $150.00 for the party and it included pizza, drinks, a game of putt putt, a ride ticket, and some game tokens. It was well worth it because I usually spend and least $300.00 to have one at home for food and decorations. The best part was that I did not have to do any clean up! The kids had a really great time and I would do it there again! more

Screaming kids, roaring go carts and the smell of pizza and hot dogs overwhelm the senses as you enter Frankie’s! Great for birthdays, cheap dates, and just having a bit of fun, Frankie’s is a winner. Be sure not to miss the batting cages and arcade with all of the latest gaming. It is just not possible to pay a visit to this place and not have a great time. more

Golf, rock-climbing, go-karts, games. Only the skeeball interested me, and sometimes the tickets run out. The games that give you tickets are mostly kiddy games. And the prize selection is not what it used to be. Chuck E. Cheese is better that way. It's good place to waste money every once in a while. more

Ever get a hankering for those little mini-golf outlets up in Myrtle Beach, but don't feel like fighting the traffic on 17N just to get in 9 holes that include a pirate ship and dinosaur? No problemo. Just hop down to Ashley Phosphate and Dorchester Rd and there you have your own little slice of Heaven, known as Frankie's Fun Park. Mini Golf, Mini Cart Races, Batting Cages, Gyro-thing that turns you upside down. TONS Of arcade games including Skee-Ball (my fave) and a little eatery that features the greasiest foods this side of the Coastal Carolina Fair. Got some kids you need to entertain? Take 'em to Frankies, give 'em a handful of tokens and that should allow them to have at least 4.5 seconds of fun. Just bring lots of cash for your greedy little kids and remember to act pleased when they present you with a peice of fuzz that they worked so hard to get for you (around 4,000,000 tickets) more

Who sez you gotta go to the beach or (heaven forbid!) drive downtown to have a good time in Charleston? Not me, that's for sure! Just drive down Ashley Phosphate Rd towards Dorchester, and right on your right will be heaven on Earth! Frankie's Fun Park is like Myrtle Beach, only much much smaller! They have a mini-golf course with waterfalls that have a strangely unnatural blue coloured water flowing through. Think "Tidy Bowl" blue. THey have batting cages, and this gyro thing you strap yourself into and go all which ways in the air. Skee-ball and arcade games are there as well, as well as a mini racetrack that you can race around with your friends. Mostly kids there, but some adults as well. Just forget the suspecting glances as you, a 45 year old, get glee from playing skee-ball til your arm falls off. You know that if you get 50,000 tickets (equal to about $250 US) you can get a large stuffed panda that is worth around $1.25. So what if the conversion factor doesn't work out in your favour? At least you have a panda that is so large you can't fit it in your car so you end up giving it away to one of the kids who heckled you when the skee-ball bounced off the back and hit you in the eye. more
