My friend and I came here as part of our mini golf tour, and we were not disappointed. While it is…read more45 minutes from Albany, it is quick highway travel and we soon found ourselves surrounded by cornfields, trees, and hills. It felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, and it was very peaceful. The course is $10.50 a person, but that includes UNLIMITED play for that day. So, it turns out to be a good value if you want to play multiple rounds. The holes are pretty simplistic, but many present multiple paths to the cup including some hidden tubes and channels. If you aren't familiar with the course, I would recommend scoping out each hole before putting. It is a basic course scenery wise: no water hazards, no real sand traps (just gray colored carpet which matches the rest of the green fairway), no jumps, no windmills, etc. There was an intersting tunnel and covered bridge which you played through, and a few other novelty holes with multiple staggered greens that broke up the monotony. That being said, we really enjoyed it. It was more strategic than we first thought, and the cups were for the most part fair (they didn't stick out of the ground causing frustrating rim-shots that plague other courses). All the trees/hills/rocks made it impossible to see the whole course from one place, which isolated us and allowed us to feel like we were the only ones there (until that group of kids caught up... we let them play through). As an aside, the owner woman was extremely friendly and dished out a good scoop of Hershey's ice cream too! This was a fun course.

Part 17 of our comprehensive review of every mini-golf place within an hour's driving distance of…read morethe Capital Region quadrangle moves us to the bucolic setting of the Schoharie Valley, where we tried Gobbler's Knob. The complex includes bungee jumping and a simple but nice driving range, plus what looks like a very nice Par-3 golf course. You can rent golf clubs for the Par 3, and for both the mini-golf and par 3, you pay once and can play all day. There's a basic snack bar with sketcy-looking hot dogs and ice cream, three sad arcade games, and one actual-working pinball machine in the snack shack. There is also a picnic pavilion, although this seems to be rental only. This review, as ever, is only for the mini-golf portion. I note there's a go-kart place on the same drive, but it's run as a completely separate business with different hours. If you want to combine activities, as we did, it's tricky because the go-kart place is run as a side business and the hours are a bit erratic. Pricing is simple: $6 for 5 years old and up, free for 4 and under, one price lets you play all day. Bring the scorecard back to the clubhouse to get a fresh ball and scorecard after hitting the ball into the outhouse on Hole 18. This is a mostly putt-only course, with a few hazard holes that have a little bit of a theme to them. Obstacles are mostly rocks and hills/dips; a few former sand traps have been replaced with painted astroturf, which looks really tacky. It shows the signs of some originality but at least some of the holes are cookie cutter. The holes are on a paved concrete path, surrounded by nice flowers, but make sure you turn left to start out - the holes aren't marked well, with no flags and only an embossed number in the concrete for each hole to tell you where you are. The setting, as noted, is absolutely lovely: there's a farm silo nearby, mountain views in all directions, and a nice lake. There's a creek running into the lake but there was no water running into it. Very disappointingly, there was what looks like a watercourse in part of the course, at least a fountain-mountain, that was dry, and even if there was water running they didn't incorporate water into any of the holes. A mini-golf course with no water hazards is a real waste, IMHO, and given there's natural water here, this is especially sad. The holes weren't terribly challenging, and a number of them had problems with wear on the astroturf surface, including a few with very annoying seams that actually went through the hole (see picture) that made them difficult plays. That said, the course was swept and blown of debris, and the staff were very nice and accommodating. Best holes are #9 (a covered bridge you can walk under), #11 (a deceptive three-tiered hole that had us wondering where our balls had gone), and #15, a walk-through fibreglass "cave" sponsored by nearby Howe's caverns. There's ads/sponsorship for some of the holes, but only the Howe's cavern hole is related to a theme at all; a pity, since the Schoharie Valley offers history from the French and Indian War to Hurricane Irene that easily lends itself to mini-golf themes. #18 Is an "outhouse" where you subtract strokes from your score for hitting it into a skee-ball like target, with the ball disappearing; no free-game-for-hole-in-one, but since it's play-all-day it doesn't matter that much here. There are three two-tiered holes, which is fun, but on none of the holes where there's a "trick shot" are you rewarded with a hole in one. I'm quite torn about the rating here, because the course itself as a course is only a very average three, and wiithout the water features it's a bit plain. The maintenance is also only average, the nice daily maintenance countered by worn turf and bad seams. But it's a very nice outdoors setting, off the road, and at $6 for play all day it's a pretty decent price if you play twice. But still, you will get bored about halfway through the second round. We're on the fence between three and four stars, so will give it a nudge to four based on kind staff, with the understanding it's a middle of the road mini-golf course among the region's offerings if judged on pure playing.

Honestly back home in Westchester, the deal here would cost like at least $30 per person. So don't even complain about the prices. We ended up paying around $28 total for the two of us, which included minigolf and go karts. Minigolf: Super fun!!! Don't expect a movie type minigolf course with a giant waterfall and what not. The mini golf course is kinda simple, however still so much fun.We didn't originally expect much out of it and ended up laughing and just fooling around. Life is what you make of it.

Plus, you can watch some planes take off and land on the nearby runway. There are only 3 flavors of soft ice cream: vanilla, chocolate, and raspberry (plus flavored swirls). The hard ice cream is, I believe, Perry's. I tend to go more to places that make their own ice cream, but Perry's is certainly better than no ice cream at all, and generally good. So my thought here was, "What do they do to make it stand out?" Well, they do 3 things. 1. They provide great customer service. 2. Their prices are quite reasonable. 3. The portions are H-U-G-E!

The Adventure Park consists of a…read moreshort zip line, a go-kart track (with only 1 functioning go-kart), Euro-Bungy (basically jumping on a trampoline tethered to 2 bungy cords to help give you more lift), and a "Big Air Bag" where you jump off a platform onto a super-huge inflated canvas bag shaped like a pillow. I went w/my three kids (ages 5, 7, 9). You have to be 8 or older to do the go-karts. And, you have to weigh like 70 lbs to do the zip line. All three enjoyed the Euro-bungy. The HUGE disappointment was the Big Air Bag. My 7 yr old daughter jumped onto it and the bag wasn't positioned correctly. The bag was too far out from the platform. Her fall was broken by the bag - thank goodness! but instead of staying on the bag, she was thrown off the bag and on the ground. Thankfully she doesn't appear seriously injured but she landed on her head in a mud puddle, came up bleeding (cut mouth/gum), scraped up and down her arm and leg and covered in mud. [You can watch it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbG7KpCYFpg ] Here's where it gets even worse. The staff operating this ride did NOT stop the ride. They would have let my 5 yr old jump right after if I hadn't stopped her. The staff did not inquire how my 7 yr old was. She picked herself up and we walked together up the hill to the main lodge/bathroom area and NO ONE who worked there asked us a single question or stopped us. I cannot imagine they didn't see this happen. There weren't that many people there, my daughter was crying loudly and was a mess (bleeding, muddy). Another parent there asked me if she was okay, as she was concerned. After we washed out the cuts in the bathroom, the manager of the facility (Alexander) came up and asked us what happened (I think one of the other parents must have said something to him). When we told him his response was, "You signed the waiver didn't you?" and then he went on to say, "This has been working fine all summer." Needless to say I was less than impressed with his concern about my daughter or the safety of other guests going off the Big Air Bag. The other patrons of the Adventure Park (there were only about 3 or 4 other families there at the time) all told their kids not to go on the Big Air Pillow, but I think the site would have allowed them to go on it. I filed a Police Report with Windham Police but was told it was "on private property" so there was "nothing they could do." Alexander took my name but no one (they have my credit card info from how I paid) from Windham Mt has tried to contact me. I spoke with New York Dept of Labor, Safety and Health. They were VERY nice. They looked into the Big Air Bag and told me that by the letter of the law in NY State, this is not considered an "amusement device" thus it is NOT regulated by them, nor do they have to inspect it or have any jurisdiction over it. They also told me that I was not the first person who had notified them of problems with this particular facility. You may wonder why I give this place 2 stars instead of 1. Well, my friends told me if I give it 1 star no one on Yelp will read my review and will think I am just a "bitter person". I am not bitter, but I don't think anyone should go to this facility because the staff/facility's attention to safety is lacking and it is dangerous.
