Good Times Park

Run, play and have fun! What a great place for kids to run around especially in the winter months here in Minnesota. Lots of different sections/areas for kids to run around! It costs $12 for a daily pass for one kiddo. They have a location in Eagan and Woodbury. Some of the areas include a toddler only area, a bouncy area, some indoor playgrounds for littles through pre-teen, basketball court, soccer field, ninja gym, and an area to eat, relax with tables and chairs. They do have great vending machine options. They also have cubbies for shoes, coats, etc.

We visited for the first time in Jan 2024 on a weekday and had a bad experience that resulted in an ER visit. My toddler is 2 and baby was 7 months at the time. We got there right in the morning at 9:30am and initially, my toddler had a great time bouncing on the inflatable bouncer. However, it got crowded very quickly. There was one kid maybe 4 years old named "Eli" (wearing green in the photo) who kept pushing other kids and whose mother was on her phone or yelling at her child on the sidelines (the only reason I remember the kid's name) without physically removing him from the situation. I saw this kid push 2 other kids who left the inflatable crying. He eventually laid on top of my daughter and wouldn't get up until I yelled "hey, you can't do that!" and ran over to them. My daughter was crying and obviously distraught. The mother there said nothing and did not remove him from the inflatable. Many of the parents of younger kids were respectful but I noticed the parents of older kids weren't. At the other play areas that my daughter could participate in - like the blocks - I noticed parents said nothing as their kids bossed others around and kept all of the blocks to themselves even if they weren't physically playing with them. In addition, there weren't a lot my toddler could play with besides the inflatable. The toddler play area is mainly for babies that can crawl and my toddler got bored of the area in less than 1 minute. The smaller slides are overrun with bigger kids and it was overwhelming for my daughter to navigate with other kids on it. And on the larger wavy slide, she was brave and tried going down herself, but it was too fast and steep for her and she hit her head on the side of the slide. The day or 2 after our visit, my toddler, baby and I caught the worst viral cold/flu we have had. I know we got it from the park because we did not go anywhere else that week. My baby was physically going limp in my arms and dozing off and I ended up taking her to the ER. I understand that the park doesn't have any liability for other kids' behavior or parents' supervision, or whether or not our children get sick, but I felt like the behavior was not acceptable or welcoming for us to want to come back and it seems like the culture of the park, based on other negative reviews here.The rule on the website states "Adults who fail to supervise their children in the play areas may be required to leave the park" but I don't see how this can be enforced with no staff on hand.The park also looked dirty and I'm not sure how often it is sanitized - and I wasn't able to locate a staff member to update them in real time. It does look great for older kids 5+ who are more assertive and are able to use all features of the park but for my younger kids, it wasn't a great fit.Constructive feedback: I do think the park can benefit from maybe 1 staff member on hand for safety and ensuring the Standard of Conduct on the website is followed, and maybe a large indoor swingset with baby/toddler attachments.Edit to add: Although one staff member was cleaning when I arrived, I looked and could not find anyone after the aggressive incident to voice my concerns. The woman whose child was aggressive was yelling his name and it was echoing throughout the park, so I'm sure if a staff member was present at the time, they would have heard what was happening. I did tell the child twice that he couldn't do what he did and I know the mother heard and still chose not to remove him from the situation. I admit I could have talked to her directly, but if no action was taken after her yelling at her child, I do think an external force was necessary to enforce the Code of Conduct. I wish I could have found staff at the time because I definitely would have addressed the situation real time.

We went at 2:00 on a Sunday and it was a madhouse!!! Everything smelled really gross and there were lots of parents there not watching their kids AT ALL.

Great place to have the kids meet up with friends for active play. We always bring and share snacks. Great for families with children of all ages. Smooth check-in process, plenty of parking, and money well spent.

Avoid this place if you value your kids health and safety. The other day i made the mistake of taking my kid brothers, and nephew who love playing soccer. They joined a game with several other kids, and because my brother consistently scored, 4-6 boys on the other team ganged up on him instead of simply playing better (sore losers). This happened while I was playing with my toddler nephew. i find out something isnt right when we take a water break. As we are walking to the vending machines i hear kids yelling toward us at him "sorry we pushed you! We didn't hurt you that bad. Come back, its not that serious". I found out later they did more than push him. They hit him several times (some perspective, one of the 4 - 5 bullies is nearly 17-18 years old & 6 ft tall, my little brother is 12!!! & 5'2) They continued harassing him, he said nothing back. So I finally yelled back for them to stop and go away. Thats when I hear a guy yell to me not to speak to his kid. At one point he says, "Im the Parent " ...are you? I thought. This happened four + more times as each kid circled our table taunting him and mocking me. The fathers would come to the table aggressively after I told the kids to back off, never said a word to their kid who came to OUR TABLE and harassed us. They stood by and silently watched as their cowardly kids grouped up to assault and harass one, but all of a sudden they wanted to come check me? Pathetic. Several witnesses were appalled by what they were seeing, asked if I needed help. The girl who works their actually had to stop one of the fathers from approaching because he literally couldn't control himself. They looked like they wanted to fight me, for telling their kids to leave us alone. Its no surprise that those boys felt threatened by my 12 year old brother, their grown fathers were threatened by ONE 5'5 woman telling their kids to stop). The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I regret ever stepping foot in that place. Never again. If you made it this far, thank you for listening.

What an amazing hidden gem! Freezing cold days stuck at home with a very hyper toddler now have a solution: Good Times Park! This indoor, enormous, park is an oasis for kiddos and parents alike. There's a playground (with equipment for young and older kids), a baby/toddler only area, a huge trampoline, sport court with basketball hoops, soccer field, football field, giant block building area, and more. The trampoline was really fun, but you have to be careful to pull your young kids off if older kiddos join (My kid almost got rocket launched off, but all is well). The soccer field was a hit and allowed my child to run off his energy and have some space to play after a few frigid Minnesota days in a row. The block area was also really fun. You can build forts, "castles," or anything your kid can imagine. There's also a picnic area you can pick snacks for or get some food at the kid-friendly stocked vending machines. The park is unstaffed, so you have to purchase a code online then enter a door code to get in. The price for an all day pass is $10 and well worth it. My child has am absolute blast on our first trip and we will be back.

We have been coming to this indoor playground for years. It is always clean, not overly crowded, and the families we've encountered are attentive. The play equipment is nice and suits a variety of ages. It's a favorite spot in Eagan.

Zero complaints about this indoor play ground. It was very clean, spacious and had a variety of activities for children of all ages. The entry is passcode protected so you either pay at the door or ahead of time online. It's quite an efficient process. They have coat hangers for when it's cold and plenty of seating for the 'rents. I see it as a hidden gem for families!

SO busy! I went on a Saturday (which is probably a bad idea) but it was super busy, although the kids had fun but it was too crowded. I do like the things they have for kids but wish it would be bigger to accommodate that many parents on the weekend. No place to put winter gears since everything was so busy full. Overall, a good place to get together here and there but I wouldn't go weekly.

I liked it I was really Fun on that big orange Jumpy thing And spinney thing and all the other things it's just I rated a 3 because it's kind of dirty there and I got sick there but otherwise it's pretty good
