Last summer we visited Crave and did BOTH courses. We knew that the outdoor course was HOT being on the roof with little shade so we decided to forego that course this summer. We decided to do Crave's indoor mini golf again this summer though since it was so terribly HOT outside in July. We were looking for some fun where we could COOL off.
We pulled in to the parking lot, which was packed. So, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the indoor course was NOT crazy busy. We went to the ticket counter and were quickly taken care of. We then selected our putters and ball, grabbed a score card and headed for the indoor golf.
Inside the course is candy themed. There are huge animal crackers, big ice cream cones, giant gummy bears, a life size gingerbread house, enormous milk shakes and other gynormous sweet treats placed throughout the course. Most of the holes were in great shape. Green were ingood shape. Characters and benches were in great shape. Between the holes they have chips of blue rubber which added some visual appeal other than just concrete & made it feel like an outdoor course brought indoors. Course was NOT terribly difficult but was good for little kids. They do have a spinner that you can spin before you putt to add a new challenge to each hole. We did NOT do this, as it seemed like it would be more time consuming to do some of these tasks in addition to taking turns spinning the wheel at EACH hole.
After golf we decided to grab some ice cream from Crave's soft serve counter. Here it is self serve. You select the amount of soft serve you want in your bowl, add your toppings, have it weighed and pay. Simple concept. Ice cream soft serve flavors were standard: chocolate, vanilla and twist. Total for 3 ice creams was around $15. It was OK.
Overall, we had a good experience with Crave Indoor Mini Golf this summer. We enjoyed the indoor course this summer. It was a nice way to have fun and beat the heat. We were a little disappointed to see the milkshake stand replaced with just standard soft serve. However, this allowed spaced for them to add 2 Escape Rooms. They also have a large selection of candy and TY toys for sale in the lobby. Place has a sweet candy smell pumped into the building to add to the candy land experience. There is a small mini bowling alley and arcade on location too, but we did NOT do either of them. Restrooms were clean. Staff was friendly. Prices were decent.
TIP: Coupons found in the coupon books around town will allow you to buy one course and get the second one free IF that interests you.
