What's better on a sunny afternoon than to hit the links. If that's not an option, Mini Golf…read moreGardens must surely be the next best thing! Between the red and the blue course, Mini Golf Gardens has two full 18 holes mini putt courses. The blue has bumpers and is better for beginners or a warm up whereas the red is much more challenging and doesn't have any bumpers to help direct your ball or prevent it from going into the grass, water or sand. That's right, there are water hazards on this course so get your snorkeling gear! I'm not sure if they always have the 2 for 1 deal, but the day we went if you paid for the firsy 18, the 2nd 18 was free. I had a blast playing here. Oh and did I mention I got 3, that's right, three holes-in-one?!!? Yeah, that's right. Wicked place. Would definitely be back when I'm in the area.

It looks absolutely stunning as the sun sets. There are two courses and to my understanding the second course is free when you play the first. Each hole ranges in difficulty; some I was able to get a hole in one (probably a miracle) and others had me laughing as my ball rolled down to the bottom of the hill for the fourth time. The staff was very kind. There's a small hut where you pay and they also offer ice cream bars and other snacks there as well. I'll definitely be going back to keep my winning streak up!

The business has been around for a while and since the mini-putt course is outside it has become quite weathered. It has not been very well maintained which adds an extra challenge to playing the course, but since the activity is so inexpensive, we quite enjoyed the extra challenge. The driving range was busy with a constant stream of new golfers. There is a noisy ball machine providing buckets of balls for the range which was used fairly regularly. There were all ages on the range from retired to families with little golfers and since the range is away from the main road, it's a safe place to have some fun with friends or practice your swing. Personally, I have never hit a long range golf ball but it looks like I will be trying it soon!

They also offer you free popcorn after you are done playing, on top of other snacks that you can purchase like slushies and cotton candy. Washrooms are gender shared and on the older side. Customer service was friendly and welcoming. I did bring my stroller, and I didn't have any issues navigating around, but I don't think it's fully wheelchair accessible as there are some landscape rocks blocking off some of the paths.

The only complaint I would have is that there was a group of 8 in front of us all playing together so they were holding up not just us but the two groups behind us.

I go for the driving range (so far). The bucket sizes are small, medium, & large, pretty standard…read moreas far as that goes. The price is quite good, and you get a larger quantity. There are perhaps 30 driving mats, not including being able to hit off the grass if you prefer. there are also bag stands spaced out for golfers to use. Yardage markers, mounds with pin flags, and even a cow (yes, a cow, she's made out of plywood) are plentiful here, from 50 all the way to 250 yards. I saw 2 gaggles of geese about 200 yards out, but I can't hit a five iron that far, so they were safe (I said I was sorry when i thought I'd be close) It's located about 5 minutes off Terry Fox, next to the Thunderbird Golf Center as well, about a 2 minute walk if you want to hit a bucket before playing a round.

I had forgotten its location but the big giraffe out front... this is where I used to mininputt as a kid with people no longer with us. I love that the new owner of about 10 years had kept the integrity of the mini putt area. The same little barn, humpty dumpy, church on the putt putt greens... Original, just maybe fixed up a bit. 34 acres. Long driving range. New tavern with drinks and snacks. Food truck. A putting area. Wow. My dog was welcome and we had a nice time at the tavern outer area. Serene. I'll go back. This place has great vibes for me.

The simulators have a lot of golf courses from around the world loaded into their system already. You can also take mulligans, view replays of your shots, and warm up at their virtual driving range where you get stats like distance, degrees off center, how far your ball travels after landing, distance to the green, club head speed, degree of loft as well as others. as you play a course, the driving mats have a wide fairway mat, as well as sections on each side for simulating the rough and bunkers. you also putt right into the screen as well, with anything within 10 feet as a "gimme". I will be heading back regularly as long as the snow is in the tundra, and my game today showed me I need to get this rust off my game ASAP

It is so popular, in fact, that people like playing virtual golf when the elements outside don't let one play real golf. Thankfully for those in Ottawa's west end there is Golf-O-Max. Located in the same complex as Loblaws, the virtual golf establishment is big enough to fit multiple groups of fake golfers. You go in, pay a few and hit golf balls at a screen that looks just like an 18 hole golf course. I won't explain the entire game of golf to you, but you play each hole against however many friends you have Whit you. Simple, but it works. On top of playing the sport so many people love, there is a bar you can go to to grab a drink as you drive, chip and putt your way to victory or defeat. There isn't much bad to say about Golf-O-Max. It serves its purpose and doesn't pretend to be something else. It is there for golfers, and it serves them well.

If you are a keener who must do everything at least once, you will easily be amused for a full day! TIP: check out their website so you can see what daily specials are on and plan your visit accordingly. Check-in using the Yelp App on your Phone to get a digital discount! The bumper cars attraction features just a plain rectangle arena, nothing fancy. The rock climbing wall is intended for a little kids, adults will find it very disappointing. The jungle gym is enormous, the little ones will love it. The indoor roller coaster is also intended for kids. The laser tag is fantastic for everyone! The Foodhaven eatery is a little bit more expensive that a typical mall's food court, but is still cheaper than a movie theatre concession stand. The arcade features a combination of ticket-paying games and arcade (non ticket-paying) video games. Based on the photography shown on their website you might be a little bit disappointed in how big the arcade is. The Escape Rooms were laid out very well. In fact, some of the rooms are hidden in plain sight! Come to where the roller-coaster is situated to make appts to play, when the time comes, check-in a few minutes early and a host will take you to your room. You can also book specific times for these rooms in advance on the website. There are two 10 min Escape Rooms that cost 20 credits: The Crystal Cave is a fantastic room for first-timers, and the Secrets & Spies Mission is a great warm-up to the tougher rooms. There are four 1 hr Escape Rooms that cost 100 credits, of the three that I did: The Ripple Creek (warning: Horror/Murder theme) is the toughest one! Deep Descent and Curse of the Forgotten were loads of fun, challenging, but doable. I didn't do the Rainforest Renegades. These Escape Rooms are no different than any Escape Rooms elsewhere, once you've done it once, you'll likely never want to do it again. Good times!!!

The games that were not included were the claw machines where you could win giftcards/prizes, and we had zero access to the rides which was kind of a bummer. I was really looking forward to trying out the roller coaster but that would be an additional 18 tokens (Which I believe was around 15 dollars? Don't quote me on that). There was also a jungle gym (think cosmic adventures) but that was extra tokens. I did get quiet tired of the arcade games pretty quickly and some games looked worse for wear. The kids seemed to enjoy it. The cards did have a timer between playing games so that you could not double tap the card. The $25 all you can play game night did NOT let you build up credit to redeem for prizes. We had a party room and cheese pizza. Pizza was your standard pizza. Great for kids, but nothing to write home about. The vibe of Funhaven was more warehouse/concrete vibes. Washrooms were clean. I do wish they had sanitzer bottles placed out around the establishement. I did find myself washing my hands quiet frequently after playing the games (flu season, not taking any chances). My husband has been wanting to check out Funhaven for a while, and I'm glad we did where all expenses were paid for, but I would not rush back.
