Score book and pencil given before you start for your game. 3 and under are free. Drinks and slushies sold at entrance. The first hole is a practice hole. 18 holes to go after that. We had such a fun time! I would say some are a little challenging. None of us made a hole in one until the end. Rock wall climbing is only $3. I did not throw any axes but that looked like it could be exhilarating too. I did inquire about birthdays and they said there are different packages that range for each number of invites of children who want to golf. All in all everything sounded very affordable and accommodating, even for big families. There is a small playground also to the side with a slide for younger children.

We went to this place for a 4-year old birthday party…read more Honestly, the concept is fun, but the "teachers" kept insisting on the parents leaving to get their "grown-up time" and kept suggesting bars and coffee shops around. Some parents left but some of us stayed because we wanted to see what it all was (which the teachers were clearly disappointed with lol). They made the kids all sit around a table and all the kids took turns adding ingredients to a bowl and stirring with a whisk as the teacher brought everything to each kid around the table. One of the teachers spilled flour on my son's head, and another doused one of the girls' pancakes in syrup where they were literally drenched in it. Some kids got their food and started eating while two of the kids were just sitting there waiting for the next batch of pancakes, watching their friends eat theirs. Also, the menu was pancakes with syrup, ice cream sundae (kids made the ice cream, pancakes and whipped cream) and then cake of course... everything sugary, all before lunch time. And then the teachers suggested we take the kids to a nearby park to blow off their energy. Needless to say, all the kids were super wired up and all the parents were quite annoyed because no one ate lunch nor napped. But like I said, that was a neat concept and knowing this, maybe you can find an appropriate time of the day for your party so parents won't be annoyed.
