Roseville Golfland Sunsplash

Description

Picture this: a 2-in-1 adventure paradise where splashing good times meet arcade excitement! Roseville Golfland Sunsplash isn’t your average entertainment spot – it’s basically two awesome parks smooshed together. Y’know how sometimes you can’t decide between cooling off on water slides or challenging your friends to mini-golf? Well, here you don’t have to choose!

The water park section is absolutely bonkers (in the best way possible). I’m talkin’ massive water slides that’ll make your heart race, a crazy-fun wave pool that’ll have you bodysurfing like a pro, and a lazy river that’s perfect for when you need to catch your breath. There’s even this awesome activity pool where kids can splash around while parents chill nearby.

But wait – there’s this whole other side that’s just as epic. The “dry” side is packed with some seriously cool stuff. You’ve got these themed mini-golf courses that’ll transport you to different worlds, an arcade that’s loaded with both retro classics and the newest games (I personally could spend hours trying to beat my own high scores), and laser tag that’ll bring out your competitive side.

Best Time to Visit

Look, I’ll shoot straight with you – timing is everything at Golfland Sunsplash. Summer weekends are crazy popular (duh, it’s when everyone wants to cool off), so if you’re not into crowds, try hitting up the park on weekdays. Early June or late August tend to be sweet spots – the weather’s still perfect but you’ll dodge the peak summer rush.

For the water park section, I’d say the ideal time to arrive is right when they open. You’ll get first dibs on lounge chairs and shorter lines for the popular slides. Plus, the morning sun isn’t as intense – trust me, your skin will thank you later!

During cooler months, when the water park’s closed, the indoor attractions become total gems. Rainy days are actually perfect for laser tag and arcade adventures. And mini-golf? It’s way more enjoyable in the cooler evening hours during summer – no more sweating through your putt-putt game!

How to Get There

The park sits right off Interstate 80 in Roseville, making it super easy to spot – just look for those towering water slides! If you’re coming from Sacramento, it’s about a 20-minute drive northeast. The parking lot is huge, but here’s a pro tip: park near the side entrance if you’re mainly hitting up the arcade and mini-golf section. It’ll save you some walking time!

Public transportation’s actually pretty decent too. There’s a bus stop nearby, and if you’re taking the train, the Roseville Station isn’t too far – just grab a quick ride-share from there.

Tips for Visiting

Okay, here’s the real deal – I’ve been here countless times, and I’ve learned a thing or two about maximizing the fun while minimizing hassles. First up, bring water shoes! The pavement gets HOT during summer, and your feet will seriously appreciate the protection.

Save some cash by checking their website for deals before you go. They often run specials during off-peak times, and sometimes you can snag combo packages that’ll give you access to both parks for less than you’d pay separately.

Pack your own towels and consider bringing a small cooler with snacks and drinks (but check their current outside food policy first). The food inside isn’t bad at all – their pizza’s actually pretty decent – but having your own snacks helps with the budget.

For the arcade, get your game card loaded up early in the day before the crowds hit. And if you’re doing both parks, start with the water attractions first, then hit up mini-golf and arcade games later when you need a break from the sun.

Don’t forget sunscreen! And I mean LOTS of it. The water park area has some shady spots, but they fill up fast. Oh, and bring a waterproof phone case if you wanna snap pics on the water slides – just maybe don’t tell your phone manufacturer I suggested that!

Final insider tip: their season passes actually pay for themselves if you plan to visit more than 3-4 times during the summer. Plus, pass holders sometimes get early access to new attractions and special events. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me!
