| - I would give this place 4 stars for the kids, but adults alone this would not be worth the visit. I took my 6 year old son to play Miniature Golf, and Laser Tag. It's cheaper to buy for both at the same time. $12 per person gets you a full round of golf and Laser Tag which saves you about 2-3 bucks compared to buying them separately. First we golfed. The miniature golf is fun for kids, but not much for adults. They have a few neat tricks along the course, like balls that shoot up through tubes and go through some loop tracks before falling out somewhere near the hole. It's all in blacklight so of course kids like that too. It's nothing at all compared to the outdoor miniature golf course we used to have in Las Vegas (Scandia), but it's still fun for kids. Took us about 45 minutes to go through the whole course, but that included playing several holes multiple times while we waited for a family in front of us to move onto the next hole. Next we played laser tag. A nice young girl explained the rules (no running, 2 hands on the gun, the scoring system etc). We got suited up and headed into the arena. The arena isn't all that big, has a few ramps to go up to higher levels, and some windows and mirrors. Apparently there are some targets in the middle of the course worth more points, and you get points from shooting the enemy base, but to me it was not clear at all what we were supposed to be shooting to get those points. I was shooting them all over, but no indication if I was scoring anything from it. So it ended up just being a shoot the other team game, which is fine. The gun and vest does a good job of letting you know if you shot someone or got shot. Get shot and the vest turns off for 3 seconds. I wish the vest would go completely out though, this way the other team doesn't just wait for your vest to turn back on and shoot you as soon as it does. You need to be given a chance to move away in the darkness without anyone knowing what team you are. My son had a blast, and actually I had fun too, but I think most of my fun was in seeing the fun my son was having and trying to coordinate some level of teamwork with him. The joy I had hearing my 6 year old bark out orders, or tell me he was going to cover me..lol. Those are the reasons us parents do this type of thing. It was a lot of fun having a father/son day at King Putt, and I would bring him back for another round. BTW, you can view scores at the end and see how you did. On our team of 10, I got the most points, and my boy got the 5th most, so we did pretty well. They have a food area and you can do parties here also.
