Fiddlesticks Family Fun Park - Tempe, Arizona - affordable family amusement park

Fiddlesticks Family Fun Park in Tempe, Arizona is a small family fun park with activities geared to older kids, teens and young adults. The range of fun attractions includes a driving range and batting cages, miniature golf, go-karts and more. They focus on being affordable so that families can visit often, even if they have a lot of kids.

Fiddlesticks features two miniature golf courses, and had been voted Best Miniature Golf for 2008 by the Phoenix New Times. Both courses are full 18-hole courses of varying skill levels appropriate for all ages. For guests who are looking to brush up on some serious golfing skills, Fiddlesticks was also awarded the Best Driving Range title by The Arizona Republic. The 15-acre driving range is lighted for nighttime practice and PGA instruction.

The park also offers other fun nighttime activities for the whole family. Fiddlesticks Go-Karts are a great choice for those who are more adventurous, and guests can choose either to drive or be a passenger. The Rookie Go-Kart track is designed for kids of all ages, so even the younger crew can race like the big kids, as long as they meet the height requirements.

Go-karts might not be the perfect activity choice for all guests, so the park also allows visitors to take to the water with the bumper boats. The tank can have up to half a dozen riders at once, and although some choose just to paddle around the area, the real draw here is the rivalry factor. As guests pilot their inner tubes around the pool, they try to ram others while avoiding being bumped as well.

Fiddlesticks also offers batting cages for guests, or visitors can opt to spend a few hours in the video arcade working on a high score. School kids can even get tokens for the arcade games with good grades on their report cards, which makes it even more affordable to spend an afternoon at this facility.

Fiddlesticks offers birthday party and group event packages at discount prices. A basic sampler package that includes a round of mini-golf, ten tokens and two attractions runs just $9.95 a person, a bargain for a corporate picnic or event. You can also book the park for 2 or 3 unlimited hours for as little as $9.99 per person depending on the size of the party. They can provide catering for events of fifteen people or more, and can also be rented for a full day of exclusive access by a graduating class, company or other group or organization.

For maximum fun at minimum price, guests can check the Fiddlesticks web site for special promotions or events. They also offer 2 and 3 hour unlimited fun passes, as well as Fellowship Night with live music on the last Friday of every month.
