Pro Tips

  1. 1.Purchase an all-day wristband for unlimited activities,it pays for itself after just a few rounds and eliminates the stress of kids asking for 'just one more turn'
  2. 2.Arrive right at opening (10 AM) to beat the crowds and heat, especially during summer months when temperatures soar in the afternoon
  3. 3.Bring sunscreen and reapply often,most activities are outdoors and there's limited shade on the golf courses
  4. 4.The three different 18-hole courses vary in difficulty; start with the easiest course (Cave Course) for younger kids before attempting the more challenging ones
  5. 5.Wear closed-toe shoes for go-karts and comfortable walking shoes for mini golf,sandals are allowed but not ideal for all activities

Best Time to Visit

Visit on weekday mornings (Monday-Thursday, 10 AM-12 PM) for the smallest crowds and cooler temperatures. Evenings after 7 PM can also be pleasant with fewer families and cooler weather, plus the courses are beautifully lit at night, creating a magical atmosphere.

What to Know

Activities are individually priced or available as package deals and all-day wristbands. There's ample free parking on-site. Limited snacks and drinks are available, but no full restaurant, so plan to eat before or after. Most activities are accessible, though some have height or mobility requirements.

Seasonal Notes

Open year-round with consistent hours (10 AM-10 PM daily). Summer (June-August) is peak season with the longest wait times. Spring break and holiday weekends also see heavy crowds. Fall and winter offer pleasant weather with shorter lines, making them ideal for families seeking a more relaxed experience.

Nearby Eats

Schooners is a short drive away offering casual beachfront dining with a kids menu and outdoor seating. For quicker options, Runaway Island Beach Bar & Grill serves family-friendly burgers and seafood with a relaxed atmosphere about a mile down Front Beach Road.
