| - Read this review. Even if you've never read anything else I've written - ya gotta check this one out.
This is the most frickin hilarious place I've been in YEARS! You have to go. You just have to. I didn't know I'd want a camera so badly when playing mini-golf, but oh my oh my....
History of the place - it used to be a Popular but they went under many many moons ago. It sat vacant for quite a few years, but it was then bought out by this company that does indoor mini-golf. I wasn't impressed w/ the idea when I lived in the area, so I never went. What a silly girl I was.
Little kids are going to love this place. Slightly bigger kids will think it's silly, but eventually the golf will take over enough of their attention. Adults will have a completely different experience. This place would be 6 star if there was a bar. I'm telling you. There IS a bar in the same parking lot and I'm thinking that we might just have to make that happen next time.
The place is one big open area with 18 holes of indoor mini-golf. That's right - Air conditioned mini-golf for those Phoenix summers. But Kristin, you may be asking, how is that over the top? Well, I could just direct you to the web site, but let me start with 2 words - Jungle Theme. Yes, that's right. Jungle theme. Giant plaster jungle animals are everywhere. And a horse. And a giant leaping dolphin. Fake banana trees with mini-monkeys in the trees. Oh yes. It is that good.
Pricing per round: Adult - $6, Kids 2-6 and seniors - $5, Kids 3 and under are free! But that's not all! They also have a row of those cheesy rides kids love that are in front of supermarkets that don't really go anywhere. They also have a room to the side with 15 "video game" stations - all games rated E. But wait - there's more! If you live at all in the area and you have a kid - this is totally worth it - for $20/month they can have UNLIMITED mini-golf and video games! And did I mention this is right near a Taco Bell? Talk about cheap summer fun! And for us non-child folks - they also have a 2 for 1 Tuesday!
This place is open from 10am - 8pm, 7 days a week. If you've got kids - you should take them. If not - think of this as your Psychedelic Happy Hour.
[ By the way, I included their "standard" web site above, but I suggest going to http://www.minigolfparadise.com/index_005.htm which you can't get to from the main page for some reason. MUCH better pictures at first. Jump into the cheese. Love it with everything you have. ]
