Staten Island Funpark

I had pretty nice time here. They have mini-golf, go karts, and batting cages. I don't recall the prices (went back in the summer) but it was cheap. Parking is free and the place is clean. They had children and adults participating in all of the activities.

This review is mainly about Mini Golf and the people that work here. I didn't use the batting cages or go karts.

Being that this is the only one Staten Island I was worried that it would not be well cared for. But it is awesome and clean! Last time we came here to use the mini golf was when I was dating my husband 16 years ago.

We went on a Friday afternoon after school with 16 kids for my son's birthday. They are older kids so they've grown out of a kiddie party place. These are sporty kids not video game indoors kids. I did not book an official party because I was not sure of the heights of all the kids. Majority of them could not do go karts alone.
Also I was unaware of the tented picnic tables they have. But after seeing it...This place is great!

This was the perfect " sport" for them!
They played the 18 holes in groups of 3 or 4.
We basically had the place to ourselves being that it was the afternoon.

The staff was extremely nice. I'm assuming it was the owner- an adult supervising the staff ..he was so kind and very nice. I had called and spoke to him the week before coming. Just an exceptionally nice person!

The greens are well maintained. No peeling grass or dirty water traps.

All of my sons friends parents said they will come here more often everyone forgets it even exists!
Thanks sifunpark! We had a great time!!

If I could put zero stars I would. We paid for a round of batting in the batting cages - walked up to the area to get a helmet & bat for my 7 y/o. They DO NOT have children size helmets! Why would you sell a ticket to a child without saying they do NOT have helmets to fit children? They ONLY want to take your money!! We walked up and asked to trade the batting cage ticket for the go-carts and pay the difference - NOPE they refused to do so! We were not asking for a refund - all we wanted was to swap the ticket for go carts and pay the difference in total. THIEVES!! Out of all the batting cages most were locked/out of order anyway. But to get a child all excited to do an activity then take that away is FOUL!! They should be accommodating the children- not letting them down! We have been going to this park for 35 years - NEVER AGAIN!! And I will be letting everyone know to take their business elsewhere! Only person they hurt in this situation was a 7 YEAR OLD CHILD!! That's disgusting!! I understand no refunds for your money back but that is far from what we asked for! All we wanted was to pay the difference for another activity my son could actually participate in. TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE Somewhere that actually cares about the paying customer and isn't just out for your money!!

My family and I stopped by here on our way back from a vacation in Pennsylvania. My son and I love to ride go karts and we decided to try this spot.
It is conveniently located near the Staten Island Expressway. There are batting cages, a mini golf course and the go kart racetrack. It was not crowded when we arrived and when we left.
We tried the go karts. Go karts were in OK shape not great. The track has too many turns, not enough straightaways to allow for acceleration. Constantly turning the wheel. Challenging but not as much fun as other go karts places. It was ok to try it since it was on the way home but we will probably not be back.

One of those local staples that I'm sure everyone who grew up here has a memory of. It's reasonably spacious and usually has enough parking for everyone.

I play pickup softball in a meetup group. This season, I was in a huge slump. In order to rectify my problems at the plate, I headed to a batting cage. A few years ago, there were many cages in the city. Unfortunately, most of them closed down. There are only a few left. Five Towns is the closest to where I live. However, it is ridiculously overpriced ($3.50 for 10 pitches). Turtle Cove is the cheapest ($3.50 for 25 pitches, $17.50 for 150 pitches). I don't have a car and Turtle Cove is practically inaccessible by public transportation so it was out of the question. Staten Island Funpark was the only other viable option. It was a bit pricey ($3 for 17 pitches, $20 for 136 pitches). Nevertheless, it wasn't a blatant ripoff like Five Towns.

This location is semi-convenient for people using public transportation. It's roughly a 25 minute ride from the Staten Island Ferry via the S61 or S62 bus (there's a 10 minute walk from the bus stop on Victory Blvd and Slosson Avenue to the batting cage). The SIM33 express bus stops a block away from the batting cage. The SIM3C express bus stops at the same stop as the S61 and S62. If you're driving, it's right next to the Staten Island Expressway.

Although the batting cage is across the street from a small NYCHA housing complex, the area is safe. As far as the actual cage, it was quite fun. It would've been even better if I actually knew how to hit. The slow pitch machine was deceptively hard. One word of advice: wear the helmet that they give you and bring proper safety gear (batting gloves, shin guard). I fouled a ball off my shin and it hurt like hell.

I can't comment on the go karts or mini golf since I didn't use them. I didn't try the snacks at the concession stand so I can't comment on that either. Speaking of junk food, a block away are a bunch of fast food restaurants and pizzerias.

I'm hoping that I break out of my slump. Even if I do, I will be returning.

Anybody who wrote a bad review on this place just did it to complain. Honestly when I got out of my Uber I thought to myself " this is going to be ridiculous " only because the area it was in I thought would ruin it. But honestly it did not! Once I got there the people we nice ( at the concession stand ) well booth. and it was extremely nice and a quiet place! But fun! The music they were playing was great! We did the mini golf, batting cages, and the go karts! The prices were so good! So whoever thought other wise is just being CHEAP. This is definitely a place I'd go again.

My daughter and I purchased the mini golf and go kart ride for $28. The mini golf was 18 hole. I wish the scenery was a little bit better. Maybe add flowers? But overall she had fun. My favorite was the go kart ride. My daughter was a little short so I drove while she sat by my side. It's nice that they had a place like this on Staten Island. We did everything in less than an hour. Fun place!

This place needs serious renovations but nothing else like it really around..the lazer tag area was upstairs and a bit creepy...very old and filthy...kids dont realize the diff but i was not impressed...the rides are not cheap either

3.5 stars...

Bet you didn't think there was a place in the city you could drive go-carts, let alone mini golf and batting cages in the same place. Well you underestimate NYC. Although I believe Staten Island shouldn't be part of NYC, it is, there's nothing we can do about that. There's a single elevated subway line that runs through the borough but it goes no where near this place. They do have a good sized parking lot so parking isn't an issue.

Everything is well maintained and clean but at the same time nothing isn't that interesting or above average. The go-kart track is pretty simple and fairly small, lots of turns to make your slow car seem like it's going faster (and the cars did seem on the slower side on the small straight aways). The mini golf was the same way, pretty simple but just interesting enough to still be fun. Don't expect any extreme mini golf design. You're really limited in NYC when it comes to mini golf so to have a clean affordable place to play at all is nice. The batting cages worked perfectly, the pitches were consistent and I didn't have to deal with any jams. They offered several speeds of both baseball and softball and weren't Nazi's about putting on some gross helmet like some places make you do.

Lastly and certainly least is the club house where you pay. It also features some food. They're really lacking in that department as it's only soda, pre-packaged ice cream, candy, and hot dogs. They really should have at least soft serve ice cream. They have a covered patio behind the building full of picnic tables but unless you're coming with small children, don't bother buying a snack here.

The prices are as follows:

Mini Golf: $6 (18 holes)
Go Karts: $6 ($3 for passengers)-ride is about 5 minutes (driver must be 58")
Batting Tokens (18 pitches): $2.50

A small entertainment complex, with the standard fare of a go-kart track, batting cages, and mini-golf.
I'm not a mini-golf connoisseur, so I can't judge the fine details of the course, but the kids seemed to enjoy it. Not sure if it's because it's the end of the season, but the water had been drained out of the decorative ponds, so it looked a little ugly.
Batting cages - again, the kids seemed to enjoy them. I couldn't hit a ball with a stick if it was flying right at me!
I do love go-karts, but these seemed a little slow, and one of them stalled out three times in the course of our ride! If you really wanna go on go-karts, the ones on the boardwalk in Atlantic City are really good. But they're not terribly close by.
They also sell a small selection of refreshments here - including Ralph's Italian Ices. Yay tasty lemon ice!

If you're planning on going, they always seem to have discount coupons on their website, so check that out! (Also - just go check out the website (http://sigokarts.com/). Their graphic designer is something else!)
