    Black light mini golf
    Suzette S.

    I brought my teenagers on a Monday when school was closed. They opened at noon and we really enjoyed playing mini golf and video games while it wasn't crowded. The place is very clean and well kept. The games are pretty exciting and newer types that all worked well. A game card is $1 and you can add any amount to it. We played with $20 each and it lasted a good amount of time for us. We had a mishap with a golf club and the metal broke while we were using it. We had to pay $16 for it, which was understandable.

    This is a cute place to take the kids if you live in Waldorf. I went with my little cousins and we had a good time. Started out with glow in the dark mini golf, which is a good concept in theory, but it is so hard to see as someone with visual impairment. If you are younger with 20/20 vision, it might not be as bad. I wrapped up the day with an addition to the Willy Wonka coin game lol. It's my favorite arcade game and I would go back just for that. My mom ended up hitting the jackpot on one of those wheel games and she got over 500 tickets!! We walked away with a bunch of candy from their store. I didn't get a chance to try to food, but I saw they had a party room. The bathroom could have used some more attention, but overall the staff was great and we had fun!

    From the outside it doesn't look like much but when you get inside it's a totally different story. Tons of arcade games, an indoor putt putt course and virtual reality area. The putt putt course is pretty easy. It could be a bit more challenging. The virtual reality was a ton of fun and my favorite part of our visit. They have a concession style stand for food but we ate lunch prior. We came a little after 2 on a Friday and it was pretty empty which was fine with us as it was just myself and my husband. We'll definitely be back.

    *pre-COVID review* Miniature golf + arcade games + simulated play + tons of tickets + lots of prizes = a funky good time had by all. Honestly, us grown ups had just as much fun as the pre-schooler. The Halloween/scary theme was different, but kinda cool. The glow-in-the dark rooms only added to the overall "creepy" fun and excitement of the place. __ IG: @f.hux Keep reading... https://linktr.ee/f.hux #foodieHUX #yelpelite #yelpeatsdc #yelpdc

    It was ok. Not the best mini golf. The lanes are way to simple and easy. The place is clean and well taken care of and the staff are friendly. I'm only grading the mini golf on this star rating. It's a great place to take a small child to play mini golf but not a first date kind of place. I don't think teens will even find the course challenging or entertaining enough. It's just neat that it's indoors and has black lighting.

    Virtual reality arena. Up to 4 players at a time

    Decided to go here on a Friday around 3pm. It was pretty empty with only about 5-10 more people. We did the $35 bundle which got you a round of putt putt, a 15 minute virtual reality session, and a $10 game card. The putt putt was pretty standard but looks cool with everything being glow in the dark. They have a pretty good selection of games but not as many as like a Dave and busters. The main reason we came here was for the virtual reality. They do a good job of explaining the rules and strapping the equipment to you. The experience was really Interesting. I felt like I was gonna fall the entire time lol but the harness system kept me in. I would go back another time. Definitely would wand to go to this place when it's not busy though because it's pretty small.

    Course view!

    We've been wanting to bring our 7 yr old here for awhile now and finally did. Wow!! I was so impressed!! It was such a unique experience! Our son loved it and we will definitely come back again. We were pleasantly surprised that the night we went was buy one get one free. They run specials throughout the month. The man that was working there was so friendly and kind. Everything glows in the dark. The entire golf course is painted with black light paint and lights up in such a neat way. There was fun music playing and they have TV screens throughout where you can watch the music videos. They had pretty much all 80s classics playing which was awesome and made me enjoy the experience even more. Doesn't get much better than mini golf and Michael Jackson's thriller combined!! lol. The course was a little challenging but not too hard. Definitely geared towards younger players which is good. The artwork throughout the whole thing is amazing. The sculptures in the paintings on the walls were all on point. There were quite a few benches throughout the course which was a really nice touch when you need to sit down to tally up your score or what not. They have a arcade type games where you can win tickets and then redeem for a prize. They have reloadable cards that you add your money on and scan each time you play a game. It's nice not to have to deal with tokens and tickets anymore. They had typical prizes for redemption and my son walked away with a handful of trinkets that he was thrilled about. It wasn't too busy when we were there but it was a Thursday night. I really hope they get good business on the weekends. We definitely enjoyed ourselves and it was a really fun family outing for us. We look forward to coming back again!

    I really wanted to like this place! I'm being generous with the third star. Let me start by saying that the staff were very friendly and enthusiastic. I've only done mini golf while at vacation resorts. Waldorf, at least since I've been here, has never had a mini golf/putt putt. So it's a nice start! This is (obviously) an indoor, Halloween themed mini golf, with black lights. It's a little hard to find, its in a mostly empty strip mall behind the Festival Way shopping center and across from the Waldorf marketplace shopping center. Kind of behind silver diner and cvs. When you go inside, it's a pretty big place, and dark. But it's mostly empty. There's a couple good arcade games in the back, and a little cafe. They have basketball, air hockey, and other typical arcade games. If you want to play any arcade games, it's the same concept as Dave and busters or Chuck E. Cheese, with game cards instead of coins/dollars. The mini golf costs $10 a person, and they do offer combos with the arcade and food. The mini golf itself looks pretty cool. They have cool statues , the walls are all painted murals, they have stuff hanging from the ceilings and lots of strobe lights and good loud music playing, varying from the 80s hits and today's music too. They also have flat screens with music videos playing on them. I took quite a few photos of the courses. But, out of the 18 holes, they're nearly all the exact same thing. Most of them are just basic courses with a few colored stepping stones. There's no real challenges... besides this ramp thing which they reuse in probably 4 of the courses. Sometimes your ball goes through it, sometimes it bounces back at you, and sometimes it comes out of the left side. That's the biggest obstacle of all the courses. It gets pretty boring once you realize that they're all practically the same thing. I hope this place will last long, and I know they just opened, but I think it needs some improvement. One thing we mentioned to an employee that they should add is laser tag. Im pretty for sure the closest laser tag is Alexandria, and that addition would really make this place worth 5 stars. Just a thought! But I do think they should make the courses different and add more challenges. Overall, we came as a family of 6 and had a lot of fun!

    First let me say I enjoyed the course itself. There were no easy holes. The layout was very close…read moreand people were on top of each other. I went during adults only time so that was definitely a plus. The closeness with added kids running around would have been a nightmare for me. The staff is very friendly and helpful when needed. My biggest reason for the 2 star rating is that the course itself is not handicap accessible. The whole's are on platforms. You have to step up on the platforms to hit the ball. My mother who has a cane could not participate because she could not get on and off of the platforms. I'm not sure who thought this out but it was a really big disappointment. Do better!!

It has a lot going for it and a few cons from a pure mini golfing perspective for the handful of mini golf nerds out there. The cons: The holes are built on little trailer platforms. They're arranged pretty close together... No strolling between holes. Not a lot of chilling out space. The platforms are a limited size, and on a couple of them, finding room for your feet where you can stand and putt is a little tight. And, the borders to the spaces are a little low, so you'll have a ball pop right out of the playing area once or twice. It's also kind of expensive for mini golf. The pros: Some of the holes have really fun, unique designs/gameplay. There's lots of fun Pixar branded stuff to delight Pixar fans and make for some fun photo ops. The staff are nice. The location, a short walk from the rest of the attractions of the Wharf, and right along the water for pleasant views while you play is hard to beat. All in all, one can find find negatives if one wants to be a critic, but I think almost anyone would have a good time at Pixar Putt.

The arcade games are pretty expensive and they blew through the $15 in less than 15 mins. The mini golf course was short and compacted on the main floor so the courses were not as fancy or intricate as some larger outdoor mini golf courses. The boys finished all 18 holes in less than 30 mins all by themselves. The laser tag was fun too. The vests were pretty big and heavy and it looked so big our littlest guy but he held his own. It seemed crowded when the summer camp group of kids were there, but when they all left, it wasn't crowded at all. Coming from LA, where anything fun is crowded, it was nice to not have to wait in long lines. We wanted to try the laser maze, but it wasn't working. The workers were all teenagers, and the manager guy looked maybe early 20's but they were all helpful. It was fun to spend a couple hours in the hot afternoon being indoors.

But they loved it, especially the gigantic green monster that would occasionally pop up and tower over the course. There are many different packages you can purchase. I ended up going with the combo golf and arcade package. It was a fairly good deal and I knew there was no way I would be getting out of this place without my kids playing a few rounds of Air Hockey and Skee-ball. I also enjoy a good arcade game myself. Some of the games, not all of them, dispense digital tickets. We managed to collect enough to get some fun toys including a spider that would crawl down a wall and an ice cream cone where you can launch the ice cream right off. My son thought this was the best invention ever! Overall, our time here was spectacular. We can't wait to visit again!

    ‍ Father's Day at Topgolf is officially a tradition in our family, and this year's visit to Topgolf…read moreNational Harbor was just as fun as the years before! I visited with my dad and brother to celebrate Father's Day, and we had a great time eating, drinking, and competing for bragging rights. For drinks, we ordered a Blue Moon, the Topgolf Tea, and the Breakaway Breeze (their World Cup special). All were solid choices for a summer afternoon. For food, we shared buffalo wings, a house salad, chicken nachos, chicken fingers, and fries. Everything was delicious, but I have to give a special shoutout to the nachos. They must have updated the recipe because gone are the days of receiving a plate with a handful of oversized chips. This version felt like actual nachos with plenty of toppings and was easily my favorite item of the meal. The service was good as well. Our server was a bit older and moved a little slower when entering orders into the handheld device, but he was friendly, attentive, and got every order right. At the end of the day, that's what matters. Now for the only downside: the pricing. Topgolf has never been cheap, and this visit felt especially expensive. We booked ahead and had to put down a deposit that went toward a total cost of about $150. I'm guessing there was a little Father's Day markup involved. That said, my dad loves Topgolf, so we'll probably keep coming back every year. The experience is always fun, and this time we even scored a bay on the main level right in the center, which made the day feel even more special. If you're looking for a fun group activity with good food, drinks, and a little friendly competition, Topgolf National Harbor still delivers.

The biggest issue wasn't that our request to extend our bay was denied--it was how the situation was handled. A staff member repeatedly raised his voice to me when I asked for assistance, which was both unprofessional and inappropriate, especially during a corporate event. We were told that our bay could not be extended because a 10:00 PM reservation was scheduled. However, we remained on-site until after 10:15 PM and observed that the bay remained empty. We also have video showing multiple available bays after our reservation ended, which made the explanation difficult to understand. What was most disappointing was the response from management. Rather than addressing the concerns or attempting to resolve the situation, our feedback was dismissed. We've hosted Topgolf events in other cities and have generally had positive experiences, which makes this location stand out for the wrong reasons. Mistakes happen, but professionalism, honesty, and customer service should not be optional. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would hesitate to host another event at the National Harbor location.
