Putt Putt Golf Games & Go Carts

I took my nephew here to have some fun. The mini golf was shut down because it was wet, cold, and miserable out, but the arcade was up and running. It is not a big place, but unlike Crazy Pinz, which will drain you dry and ask you to take out a second mortgage to keep playing, we actually felt like we were getting our money’s worth. We started with 10 bucks, which kept him entertained for about 45 minutes, before dropping a little more and snacking a little bit. The staff was friendly and helpful. When it warms up I want to go back and try out the mini golf and racing! both sound fun. My nephew won enough tickets to get a slew of small prizes and candies, and he left with a smile on his face and a bit of excitement over his new trinkets. All in all, we had a good time.

This Putt-​Putt is truly an anomaly among Putt-​Putt courses (and when I say Putt-​Putt, I mean the trademarked kind with short holes and lots of orange in the color scheme). For one, it’s OPEN… there are very few of them left. Two, while most Putt-​Putts are (or were) in industrial and/​or undesirable parts of town, this one’s right on the main drag, across the street from the city’s main mall. That’s probably the key to its apparent success.
There are three courses here, each with a theme: Greek ruins, jungle, and «classic» Putt-​Putt… a brilliant idea that appeals to PP’s strong nostalgia factor. (The Greek side was volcano-​themed the last time I was here, which shows they are committed to updating.) Lack of maintenance is another issue at some Putt-​Putts, but this one is tip-​top. A few of the holes are built up on fiberglass platforms; I’m not sure why, but I’m guessing it’s to keep standing water off those holes. A few holes also have fiberglass rails instead of the traditional metal ones. There are no «cheap» holes that make it impossible to score a hole-​in-​one, as you find at a few Putt-​Putts and at almost every other kind of mini-​golf course.
The arcade seemed OK to me, though last time I was here, there were three dance games and now there are zero. Disappointing, but I understand most people consider DDR a fad rather than a lifestyle as I do, ha.
I’ve probably been to 25 different Putt-​Putt courses, and this is easily in the top three in every category for me. Of course, probably 21 of those 25 are now closed. I really hope this one can stay open for a long time.

Miniature golf was great. Arcade was seriously lacking. Many machines with «broken» sign taped to them. Not much staff to take care of concessions, golf and arcade. It’s obvious that not much $ is going back into the business.

Ok place for my 8 year old’s birthday party. The party room and the game could use a good cleaning. The pizza was frozen stuff you might expect. However, it kept a bunch of 2^nd graders entertained for two hours. They are happy just to play the games.

We go here about once a year on a cool day in the summer. It’s not the best mini golf place in the world, doesn’t have the best arcade games, and the go-​cart run isn’t the best place I’ve ever run at either. However, this place is a fun place to visit and the kids always have fun. Ok — so do the adults.

Always a nice diversion for the kids. After the zoo proved too busy on its last day for the season, we decided on a roung of mini golf. The place has three courses. All about the same, but the kids have their favorites. Also, there is a race track there (for when my kids are older) and a game room. The food and drink is also reasonably priced.
