Roseville Golfland Sunsplash

Description

You know what’s awesome about Roseville Golfland Sunsplash? It’s basically two epic entertainment venues smooshed into one amazing spot! I’m always amazed at how they’ve managed to pack so much fun into this place. During those scorching Sacramento Valley summers, the waterpark side (Sunsplash) becomes this incredible oasis with wild water slides, lazy rivers, and splash zones that’ll make you forget all about the heat. But that’s just half the story!

The Golfland section is where things get really interesting – we’re talking some seriously creative mini golf courses that’ll challenge even the most experienced putters. And between you and me, I’ve probably spent way too many hours in their massive arcade trying to beat my own high scores. The laser tag arena? Pure adrenaline-pumping fun. And don’t even get me started on the go-karts – they’re fast enough to give you that racing thrill while being totally safe for families.

Key Features

Best Time to Visit

Let me share a local secret – timing is everything at Golfland Sunsplash! The waterpark side operates seasonally from late spring through early fall, but the sweet spot is definitely mid-May to early June. That’s when you’ll get all the summer fun without the massive crowds that July and August bring.

For the Golfland section (which runs year-round), weekday evenings after 6 PM are pure gold. The mini-golf courses are less crowded, and you won’t have to wait as long for the go-karts or arcade games. If you’re coming during peak summer season, try to arrive right when they open – you’ll beat both the heat and the crowds.

Weekends can get pretty packed, especially during summer afternoons. But if that’s your only option, come prepared for a bit of a wait at the popular attractions. Winter months are actually fantastic for enjoying the indoor activities without the summer crowds.

How to Get There

Getting to Golfland Sunsplash is pretty straightforward, especially if you’re coming from Sacramento or the surrounding areas. The park sits right off Interstate 80 in Roseville, making it super accessible from pretty much anywhere in the region. If you’re using GPS (which I totally recommend), just punch in “Roseville Golfland Sunsplash” and it’ll take you right there.

From Sacramento, you’re looking at roughly a 20-minute drive on a good day. Coming from the Bay Area? Plan for about two hours, depending on traffic. The parking lot is huge, but it can fill up fast during peak times – another reason to arrive early!

Tips for Visiting

Okay, lemme share some insider tips that’ll make your visit way better! First off, bring water shoes – the ground gets HOT in summer, and your feet will thank you. And speaking of summer, don’t forget to pack extra sunscreen. Trust me, the Sacramento sun is no joke, and you’ll need to reapply throughout the day.

Buy your tickets online ahead of time – you’ll often find better deals, plus you can skip the entrance line. If you’re planning multiple visits during the season, their season pass is totally worth it. I learned this the hard way after paying for individual tickets three times last summer!

For the waterpark, bring your own towels and consider renting a locker – it’s worth the few extra bucks to keep your stuff safe and dry. The food inside isn’t bad, but it can be pricey. They’ll let you leave and come back same-day, so you could pack a lunch and eat in the car or at the picnic areas outside.

Pro tip: hit the water slides early in the day, then switch to indoor activities like arcade games or laser tag during the hottest afternoon hours. This strategy has saved me from many a sunburn! And if you’ve got little ones, the morning hours are usually calmer in the kiddie areas.

Oh, and one last thing – they sometimes run special deals on their social media pages, so it’s worth checking those out before you go. The evening rates are also cheaper if you’re just interested in the Golfland side of things. And remember, the arcade games use a card system now – hang onto your card if you plan to come back, cause the points do carry over!
