The place is great for kids but we were literally the ONLY people here and i didn't want to play mini golf but i was told I had to pay $16 to walk around with my family. My husband and kids played so they got over $40 from us and i had to watch from the outdoor eating area or pay to just watch. Pretty stupid! I won't be back.

It's a busy place on the weekends, the staff are friendly and the place is well maintained. We had a really nice time!

Very friendly and helpful as staff, easy access for people with mobility problems. Great food, clean eating area with plenty of space. Great value for money. I deal for kids, Ten pin bowling and mini golf.

I didn’t quite catch his name but the guy at the counter was super friendly and managed to fit us in on a very booked day

I love this place, it's such a fun day tucked away in the Barossa.

Pros:
- the atmosphere
- The Dino facts signs and sculptures make it so fun (and I love a theme!)
- the holes are of varied skill level and trickiness so lots of opportunities to show off your skills. Or lack there of.
- cute outside area to chill and have a snack after playing
- bowling inside, golf outside, so something fun for everyone, or why not do both?
- friendly team and affordable!
- great for every age
- great opportunity to smack talk your mates about their terrible golfing/bowling abilities
- largest mini golf course in SA!

Cons:

- unfortunately it is out at the Barossa so a bit of a drive depending on where you live (but worth it tbh)
- mini golf is outdoors so not great if it's raining! But you can at least still bowl!
- if you (or your kids) are triggered by loud noises, they may find the Dino sound effects a bit confronting (but they only play when the button is pressed, they aren't automatic)

Overall, it's nice to have something so fun that isn't wine related in the Barossa and I think this spot is amazing if you want a nice day out for some wholesome fun. Also after wards, do yourself a favour and hit up the 50's diner in Tanunda for lunch, you won't regret it!

Also.if you turn up in Dino costumes to match the theme, they will be most accommodating hahah although it makes it a lot harder to score a hole in one! Haha

So much fun! Staff were friendly, bowling was a laugh and Putt Putt even more so. The Putt Putt area is such a nice garden. Totally recommend it

Surprisingly it wasn't busy, first thing in the morning.

Enjoyed my experience, customer service was excellent, very friendly and the entertainment was at a family friendly affordable price.

The interactive Dinosaurs? Would be the highlight for younger ages, brilliant sound effects. As an Adult I could still appreciate the sense of adventure touring the putt putt course.

Plenty attracting elements at Barossa Bowland. Ten Pin Bowling, Dino Putt Putt Course, Wood Oven Pizza

Time definable flew by.

Can be slightly expensive but it is also the best in the Barossa, food to be bought on premises as they don't allow you to bring your own, better to book (especially school holidays)

We took our kids here last week and we had a great experience. We were greeted by an extremely friendly staff member who spoke to the kids and got them excited to bowl. We went to the lane and noticed several different staff members constantly cleaning the bowling balls and lanes with sanitiser. Was really great to see not just one but all staff taking things like Covid seriously, especially as we were the afternoon shift during school holidays so I'm sure staff would be tired. When we left the friendly lady from the start came over to say goodbye and asked the kids how they went which was great. All round a really good experience and will definitely come again.

Hey. It's History time. It was the first day without Masks on the Bowl land and Mini Golf Planet at #BarossaBowland. We could all breathe much easier #ThankJesus! Kim and I took some of our family there and we were so glad we booked a time 'cause it was so busy. Everybody who was anybody was there with their kids. So good but Crowded As! My family and I had heaps of fun trying to get the multi coloured golf balls in. We certainly had a time of trying to keep in front of the family behind and also allowing time for the families in front. Everyone was kind and courtious. Thanks guys. God Bless for making it a fun day on Easter Saturday. Champions! #brucesplanet

Great mini golf course in a very beautiful setting. Very well maintained and lovely staff. We had a wonderful time with our toddler there. The bowling looked great too.

Tried to host my childs birthday party there made extremely difficult. No party packages was willing to buy bowling mini golf and food separately. Unable to bring my own cake despite them not being able to provide a cake for my child DUE TO EGG ALLERGY. Very unwilling to help or offer solutions. Advised they dont do birthday parties! Would not recommend to anyone!

We went to have some fun as a family and paid to have 1 game of mini golf and one game of bowls. We thoroughly enjoyed the golf but when we wanted to play bowls as a family were told we had to play on two lanes and could not play as a family. This meant my son and his wife were on one lane and I was on a lane playing with a 6yr old. We all had to pay full price to play, no discount for children or seniors. We tried to discuss being able to play on one lane but were told it was their covid rules. They could have been flexible as it was not a covid legal requirement just their policy. They were extremely rude and seemed to be flexible when it came to wearing masks. The family playing a few lanes away were not wearing theirs even though that IS a govt covid requirement. Will never go there again. Very bad and rude managers.

Love this place. Go every time I am anywhere nearby. Cheap, well maintained mini golf, and we have been to mini golf all over the country! 18 big holes, par 3 on all. So, e harder than others but all fun. That’s never done the bowling or so much as bought a drink, never mind food, so can’t rate that!

Need to book in for bowling with COVID restrictions. Mini golf with the dinosaurs was a treat with the kids. 18 holes and a real challenge.

Played mini golf was fun, make sure you press the buttons on the dinosaur information boards to hear the dinosaurs roar, kids loved this and great way to distract your opponents lol

We visited here in summer to play mini golf and really appreciated that this is a shady course. Friendly staff. A few challenges on the course I've never seen before. Clean and well maintained. Dino's are quirky and fun.

Really really thought the service was great! When we arrived I was told we are a little early, and to please sit to the side and we will be called upon when the time is right. It was so busy so thought for sure we would be forgotten about, but no, it was all good and we had a great time.
The 1x bowling 1x minigolf is by far best value here! Bowling lanes are slightly shorter than normal, and Very good, slightly tricky mini golf course. Both of which are well looked after
I guess you can say the traditional downside to a place like this is the food/drink prices/value. But we will be back for sure.

It's a really great place for people to have fun bowling and mini golfing. Recommend booking in for bowling as you can potentially need to wait for up to 3 hours to book a lane. It's great they have a rule now for mini golfing, 6 shots is the limit for putting to lower waiting time.
The best wood oven pizzas in town.definitely a let down! My local pizza shop is better! Waited for 40mins for these and they weren't very nice. Luckily we ordered chips. Found a piece of onion on my ham and cheese pizza too, one food I can't stand. Friendly team around the place. I think you should have serviettes available too.

Disgusted and horrified at a certain individual's customer service. Long haired, tall guy. He should not be working at the face of the business. We had a disagreement, and was SWORN at and asked to leave abruptly. We phoned after and asked to speak to the Owner and was snubbed by both the Manager and Owner. (This could have been resolved then, resulting in a higher star rating but they had no interest in resolving). Apparantly this is acceptable to treat your customers this way. This guy had poor customer service skills from the moment we walked in. I have been to this establishment prior, but NEVER again. And this is a warning to all other potential visitors.
