Epically original holes, a theme unlike any I've ever seen (care to learn about Connecticut geology…read morewhile you putt?) and a tremendous layout combined with great maintenance make this a destination mini golf place. The (apparently controversial) decision to exclude the under-six crowd is the correct one for such a course, as it was busy enough on a June day when we visited that the backups attendant with little kids taking 12 shots on each hole would have made it unplayable. My downtick is the restrooms are too far away - you have to plan ahead in that regard. Yeah, it's pricey, but it's worth it if you are dedicated to this mini-sport.

I find that this mini-golf course contains an unnecessary number of real-world hazards that should…read morenot exist in any type of golf game. A little water here and there? Okay. A hole that is half underwater? Less okay. A few pieces of organic earth stuff hanging around on the green? Okay. An absurd amount of mulch, twigs, and other things that can definitely knock your ball off its hole-in-three trajectory? Less okay. Fake grass wear and tear? Okay. Fake grass more or less flapping in the wind, and wrinkled to the point where your ball needs to jump a hill to get out? Less okay. In any case - our group took all of these "natural" hazards in stride, and set off on one of the most competitive mini golf challenges of our lives. Most of the holes had a lot of unanticipated breaks and no putt (even the 3 inch ones) was easy - and hole in ones were very hard to come by. There was a lot of yelling, cheering, long shot putts made (and very short ones missed) that varied the leaderboard throughout the round. We had fun. Fun aside, there is definitely a few maintenance issues that should be addressed and some bug issues (flying around & crawling on the fake grass) that need attention. Go here for some deceivingly challenging mini golf and don't forget about the 8 stroke max - someone is bound to hit it at some point.

Don't be confused by the address it is on the backside of the building, just follow the arrows around and there was a good amount of parking there on a mid day afternoon. While the course and games may be a little dated, it is still a fun experience and way to spend a few hours out of the house. Arcade has ticket and non ticket game for prizes at the counter pre or post game if you choose to partake. Not overly scary for little ones, there are a few of the props that do move. They even have two party rooms that you can reserve if you need to host an event with this theme in mind. Enjoy!

I brought my not exactly sports inclined 5 year old at opening, and we had a blast. THe owner is lovely, and we felt welcomed. Did we do good golfing? no. Did we enjoy ourselves? Absolutely! It has all the classic things you want from a mini golf course. Light house, mini town, wind mill, water wheel, multilevel, etc. For the price, it is exactly what you want, and they take cards, I can't recommend it enough for those who need to take their wiggly little ones outside. Bring a hat for your kid and bathe them in sunscreen because it is DIRECTLY in the sun without any shade, and make sure to bring plenty of water because my girl was wilting by the end, but we had a great time.

Is this place a bargain-- no. Is this place pretty awesome if your child loves dinosaurs-- yes!…read moreThis spot is about an hour away from me, but it's worth the drive to spend an afternoon here. I thought all the dinosaurs were super impressive and love how they setup the whole walking trail. There is a ton of shade, so even if you go when it's super hot you'll be fine! I appreciate all the ferns that they planted around, makes it feel "authentic" with all the dinos. For my dino obsessed five year old he loved seeing all the variety of dinosaurs and even some more obscure ones that he knew and you never see at spots like this. They did a great job of putting some dinosaurs into "scenes" and simply showcasing others with facts and more info. My son isn't into splash pads, but that splash pad looked like a ton of fun. The climbing area was also huge and looked like fun. My five year old stuck to walking around and going through the maze 15 times. The maze is simple, but fun and a nice addition to the park. What I like about this park is it's great for kids of all ages! Probably from at least 3-10 and even older if your child is super into dinosaurs or you are an adult who loves dinos!

I dabble in a couple of hobbies and Photography is one of my many hobbies. We made a decision to be off technology and enjoy the time. Next time, more photos Our time spent was overall enjoyable and relaxing with family. There is plenty to do Arcade, Amusement Rides, miniature golf, Pool, Water Slides, Sandbar Cafe, etc. Some of their attractions appear old, but appear to be properly maintained.

(3/5 stars) The…read morebiggest positives are that the sand is relatively clean, there was no seaweed during our visit, and lifeguards were on duty, which made the beach feel safe. Unfortunately, there were several negatives. The seagulls were extremely aggressive--they were going into people's bags and pulling out food. People were feeding the birds, which only encouraged this behavior. Another downside was the atmosphere. Several groups were playing very loud music, making it difficult to relax and enjoy the beach. Parking was $40 per car on a Sunday in July, which felt expensive. The boardwalk amusement rides are priced individually, and many of them seem very old and dated. Overall, while the beach itself has some nice qualities, the aggressive seagulls, loud environment, high parking cost, and aging rides made the experience less enjoyable than expected.

Additionally, this course includes a diverse array of wildlife statues that you could encounter on a safari. These statues are clearly made with care and supreme craftsmanship. Also, this course includes a large waterfall and beautiful canals throughout it.
