GLO Mini Golf | Arcade | Virtual Reality | Ice Cream Bar is a multi-activity indoor entertainment complex in Riverside, California, that mixes a glow-in-the-dark mini golf course with a video arcade, a virtual reality arena, immersive escape rooms, and an on-site ice cream bar. Listed in our directory as a barcade-style venue, it functions more like a family entertainment center, with the arcade acting as one attraction among several rather than the headliner.
Riverside sits in the Inland Empire east of Los Angeles, and the city has built up a small but active cluster of retro-leaning and family-oriented gaming rooms. GLO’s Riverside location joins neighbors like Arcade Downtown and Riverside Game Lab, both of which also appear in our Riverside arcade listings.

The Scene
Because our directory does not yet have a structured review summary for this venue, here’s what the venue’s own homepage and feature list tell us about the room. GLO is described across its marketing as a high-energy, neon-drenched indoor entertainment complex built around glow-in-the-dark mini golf, with bright greens and purples dominating the visual palette. The space is clearly aimed at families, groups, and casual social outings rather than serious arcade collectors.
Several standout features shape the experience. The venue runs a reloadable Play Card system tied to a dedicated GLO iPhone app, and first-time app downloaders automatically receive $5 in free arcade credits — an unusually direct hook for visitors who want to jump straight onto the floor. There’s also an ice cream bar on site, console gaming alongside the arcade cabinets, and a private party booking flow that explicitly references both kids parties and general parties.
A note on what we couldn’t verify: the directory category for the listing is “Video arcade,” but the venue itself leans heavily on mini golf, VR, and escape rooms, with the arcade as one of several offerings. The homepage also hints at laser tag and axe throwing as adjacent activities, though those may belong to a sister location rather than this Riverside branch. Visitors planning a specific activity should confirm directly with the venue before booking.
Games & Machines
The arcade floor at GLO is part of a larger entertainment mix, and the venue’s homepage does not publish a specific machine list, so we can’t name individual cabinet titles here. What we can say is that the venue operates a card-based pricing model through its Play Card reloadable game card system, which is typical of modern multi-activity centers and replaces the pocketful-of-quarters approach of a traditional arcade.
Beyond the coin-op-style floor, the venue also offers console gaming as a distinct feature, plus a virtual reality arena and immersive escape rooms. Together, those offerings give groups a reason to split their time between quick-play cabinets, longer VR sessions, and team-based puzzle solving under one roof — useful context for visitors deciding how long to block out for a visit.
Visiting
The venue’s Riverside location is listed at Riverside, CA, and the directory phone line is +1 888-896-8419. Official hours run 11AM to 10PM Monday through Thursday and Sunday, with extended hours of 11AM to 11PM on Friday and Saturday, making weekend evenings the natural slot for group visits.
GLO markets itself with a “Family Fun Zone” framing, suggesting an all-ages, family-friendly policy rather than a 21-and-over barcade vibe. Food and drink on site centers on the ice cream bar named in the venue’s title; the directory record does not confirm alcohol service, so plan accordingly if that’s part of your visit. Private party bookings are explicitly supported through a “Parties” section of the venue’s site, with copy referencing both kids parties and general parties.
