Pixar Putt at The Rally Hotel in McGregor Square was an expensive and disappointing experience to say the least.
We decided to take our little guy who is a major fan of Toy Story, Nemo, Monsters Inc, Luca and many other Pixar franchises. The problem is: aside from a Buzz & Woody statue out front, there are NO characters featured in the experience. It must be some weird licensing thing they have with Pixar, but it was odd that there were NONE of the characters in picture or statue form throughout the whole place. There were some caricature-style drawings resembling some of the Toy Story characters on the walls, but not one major personality could be found on any hole. The holes were movie-themed, but if there wasn't a sign telling you which movie, I don't think most people could identify half of them.
The holes themselves were poorly constructed and seeing signs of major wear-and-tear. There were seams of carpet that threw the ball offline, places the ball got stuck within the wonky design and just poorly planned holes that sent several balls errantly flying across the space.
The grand finale was supposed to be an "Up" themed hole where your ball goes up in the balloon from the movie and then released towards the hole. It was closed, I suspect because the balloon is hand-cranked by and employee and given there were only 2-3 people working, they likely just shut it down.
The flow was maddening as well. We waited 5+ minutes per hole. There was one employee sort of running the traffic, but he disappeared at some point and everything bogged down.
We spent around $100 for 3 of us and left pretty frustrated and disappointed. Your local miniature golf course is a much better option than Pixar Putt. read more
