    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

    From the outside looking in, you wouldn't know what kind of fun is waiting for you behind that front door. Walking inside was like walking back into my childhood arcade days. That being said, there's putt putt golf, and arcade, snack shack, gift shop, and a VR (virtual reality) room. There's a bundle deal that you can buy that gives you a round of putt putt golf (18 holes), the arcade, and VR room. The golfing is fun, it's horror themed and there's music playing which makes for a good ambience. The arcade, which is pretty much scattered throughout the entire establishment, is really fun. There's all kinds of games for all kinds of age groups and some of the games give you tickets which can be used to get gifts from the gift shop. The snack shack has the kinds of food you would expect them to have like pizza, chicken tenders, french fries, and a bunch of candies and drinks. The virtual reality room is a lot of fun, i've tried the zombie one and the paranormal house game. Both of them were a lot of fun, but they have a lot of other options to choose from that aren't horror related. They also have a sensory night for kids or adults who struggle with bright lights and louder noises. I totally recommend 10/10. PS: I had the day's high score for their basketball game. Best day of my life.

    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.

    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!

This is a run down bowling alley but it does the trick. We got there when it opened so no crowds and great service. On the smaller side but does the job.

There is a long bar-top which sits 8-10 folk then a small amount of 4-tops scattered throughout the space. They offer darts, pool, and giant jenga playing area which is a positive. Our bartender was kind, she very pleasantly greeted us and gathered our orders. She chatted with other patrons throughout the evening; you can tell this is a local spot. The drinks left alot to be desired. While they were only $5, our rail drinks (whiskey and tequila) were very weak and didn't taste great. We decided to just have one round then head to a nearby spot. Overall the bar seemed pretty dated and had a faint unpleasant odor. I appreciate a nice dive bar, but a few minor renovations or upgrades may help to freshen things up a bit.

Compared to other spots I tried in the area, this wouldn't be my first recommendation though.
