Cute little put-put course right on the outskirts of town. Has both a challenge and easy course for all to enjoy. Soft drinks available in vending machines when you enter and in the middle of the course. Cost effective fun night out.

Waterfall feature on the mini golf course.

Looking for a fun mini date activity or activity to keep your kids busy for an hour or two? Look no further than Pirates Cove Adventure! They have two courses to play on and a lot of fun features along the course to enjoy along the way. If you like mini golf and enjoy being competitive, this is a great activity to kill an hour or two before moving on to other activities such as dinner at a nearby lobster pound or restaurant in Bar Harbor or Ellsworth.

Ahoy, matey! All hands on deck at this excellent mini golf course just 10 minutes away from downtown Bar Harbor. My little family of 2 adults and 2 children (ages 6 and 8) were greeted right away on a weekday afternoon. We chose a 36-hole challenge which included their original course and "Blackbeard's Challenge" which had slightly more slopes. Both courses were really fun and every hole was exciting and different! ;) In fact, expect your ball to get wet. To complete both courses, we spent a little over 2 hours here which included waiting for other groups to finish at several spots. What a treasure! NOTES/TIPS: **Parking was easy in their own lot. "Udder Heaven Ice Cream" and a BBQ spot are directly across the street. **Open mid-April through October. Children 3 and under are free. **Though there are some shady trees and structures, I suggest bringing sunscreen and water. **Vending machines for drinks are on premise near the main entrance. **For every hole-in-one, you get a chance at a prize on a prize wheel. My daughter won a free game. **Paper pirate hats and/or a pirate flag are given to each child at the end.

Super fun mini golf course about 10-15 min outside of downtown Bar Harbor. We had a beautiful sunny day and the course was fun. It could have used a few more obstacles as we picked the "challenging" Blackbeard's course but some holes were still very basic. Overall still very fun to spend an hour or so feeling like a kid.

Fun for the family! I read it does get crowded and there always seemed to be a lot of people every time we drove by, so we went right when it opened at 10am on a Sunday morning. They have two 18-hole courses: an original course and a challenge course. It took our group of 4 adults about an hour to do the original course. The golf balls float, so no worries if you hit them into the water. After you're done, you bring the scorecard back to the window where you return the clubs. The worker spins the wheel and it lands on a number. If anyone got a hole in one on that hole, you get a token for a free game for next time!

Yeah 4 hole-in-ones

Better design than ones on NY. A family fun spot! Get there early or you will wait in line for an hour to get in.

It's a fun course but they do not spread any time between groups starting. We were a group of 6 and each hole we started the party of three was already waiting. Made us feel as we had to rush...which we did. Good experience, but not if you want to have a relaxed game.

My wife and I came here for an intense and very competitive game of mini-golf. The captains course was nice and it wasn't that busy so you didn't have to wait that long to play your next hole. Not a bad place to spend an hour or two on a nice day. The staff were friendly.

Best mini golf! The girls at the counter were super sweet and helpful. This was a great end to a day in the park. We only did the easy course, but wish we did both. They give you two chances to win another round, very cool! Next time we come across another one, I'm hoping for a rematch!

This place was a lot of fun. We've played at other PC locations in the past like Lake George and Queensbury, but this is probably the best one. Lots of cool features. Everyone had a great time. There are two courses, so we'll try the other one next year. They have some some freebies for the kids too. Go here for a fun family activity or date night.

Cool place for mini golf in Bar Harbor! Had a great time here after dinner...pirate themed mini golf. Great place for adults and kids alike. Staff was friendly and wasn't too crowded in the evening. Par 2 and 3 holes...can't be that difficult right? LOL Not too expensive and we got coupons for $1 off per game next time we come back. Definitely coming back here again.

First I am not a mini golf type of person so this review comes from someone who has zero expectations and let me say this placed wowed me. Visiting Bar Harbor with the kids and we stayed maybe 5 mins away from this place so of course it is a nice place to bring the kids since they begged me. We came two separate nights ( yes I can't believe I came not only once but twice!) And the first night we just got the 18 hole and took the original course (the other one is more challenge one ) and it was set up very nicely and I really enjoyed it. The next night we did the challenge course and it was awesome! Now they set me up with this standard I hope I won't be disappointed with other places I will go from here on.

We had a blast playing mini golf. Gets a little backed up but that's when people watching is at its best!

The decor around the course is a fun pirate theme and almost every hole had a plaque to read about the history of Blackbeard.

My family and I were wanting to do some fun activity and came across Island Green Golf Center. But…read morewhen we got here, the place seemed to be called Traditions Golf Center. The young staffer had no idea what or if the place had switched owners and the name or not. There is a Pat's Pizza attached, and Gifford's ice cream too. We chose to play Mini Golf, and they have the course set up as a 27 (!) hole course. I believe that it may have been really three nine-hole courses based on how the holes were designated in the concrete. The course has a many similar holes with a lot of sloping which caused my group to max out a bunch of times. But, we also had some holes-in-one for those who were lucky. My son "won," followed by a tie for mom and dad, and then my daughter, my dad, and lastly his wife. She, however, was one of the holes-in-one playing Happy Gilmore style pushing the ball with the putter like a hockey stick much to the chagrin of my son when it actually worked well. The teen staffers were out and about using a leaf blower to clean the course, and one hole had the astroturf completely replaced just before we played on it. A lot of brick curbing was loose so watch your steps! The main water feature also was not operative. Everyone on the course (and there were quite a few) was well behaved and respected the people ahead of them. Staffers in the clubhouse wore masks and the sign said anyone vaccinated didn't need one but everyone else did. There is a single hoop basketball court for customer use and although they advertise having go karts and we did see the course, they too were not running. $54 for six to play golf reduced to $48 with a law enforcement discount. We did not stay to eat, and it took a couple of hours to get through 27 holes with all of us. I bet a lot just stay and eat after. If it were very sunny, we would have all been burnt to a crisp; wear sunscreen as there's no coverings on the course. This was a nice way to spend a couple of hours with the family doing a fun vacation activity.

Really fun place to bring the family. They have mini golf, 9 hole golf course, go carts, and video…read moregames. They have a Pats Pizza(one of my favorite places to grab a pie) and a full service bar.

OA is the only place on the east coast with not one but two ExA Arcadia machines. If you're into…read morethe indie/doujin/niche fighting game scene, it's a must go. Currently they have 2 ARC-1s (which use American joysticks and buttons to my chagrin) but last I heard the owner was looking into buying an ARC-32 (the Japanese style ExA cab which is notoriously hard to get due to most stateside arcade distributors not selling it). Definitely worth bringing a stool or something to kneel on if you plan on playing at the ExAs for a while because they're at a height where you unfortunately have to stoop to reach the controls if you stand. Currently the games on offer are Dynamite Bomb, Chaos Code EXA, Phantom Breaker: Omnia, and Kung Fu VS Karate Champ on the leftmost ExA and Arcana Heart 3 Xtend, Breakers Revenge Chicago, and Axel City 2 (not the Final Storm version sadly) on the rightmost ExA. Personally, I'd like to see them get Daemonbride exAGAIN, Asuka 120%, Vanguard Princess R, Chaos Code Nemesis Experiment, and the aforementioned Axel City Final Storm but I understand the games are pretty expensive and hard to come by. The arcade also has a wealth of pinball tables, some booth light gun games, and some interesting indie cabinets including deathball and the Nidhogg 2 and Perfect Pour DSM Arcades cabs (although there are more that I forgot the name of). They also have Metal Slug 3, sadly not on an original MVS but those are basically impossible to get these days. There's only 1 rhythm game in the place (StepManiaX) so if you're a SDVX or Project Diva player you probably aren't getting your fix here and I think the only SDVX machine in the state is in Portland.

This place is gold! Multiple arcade games, for everyone…read more Quite a variety to offer and will definitely keep you busy for a while. There is a mini golf course which is a glow in the dark fun. My grandchildren are 13 and 10. They had so much fun, and the prices are very reasonable. Comfortable and they had done a great job with setting it up. So many choices for everyone. Would highly recommend for the whole family.
