Reviews
Peter Pan Mini-Golf is an iconic gem in the heart of Austin, Texas, and a must-visit for locals and tourists alike. For over 75 years, this beloved spot has brought joy to generations with its quirky charm and whimsical atmosphere. Nestled near Zilker Park, Peter Pan Mini-Golf stands out as a nostalgic retreat that embodies the spirit of Austin: quirky, fun, and delightfully unconventional. The two 18-hole courses are packed with unique challenges, from towering dinosaurs to a cheeky Peter Pan statue, all adding to the fantastical allure of the place. The sculptures and obstacles are a delightful mix of vibrant colors and creative designs, showcasing a retro vibe that you just don't find anywhere else. While some of the statues show signs of their age and could use a little TLC, this only adds to the character and authenticity of this time-honored institution. It's like playing a round of golf in a living piece of Austin's history! Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a regular, Peter Pan Mini-Golf offers something for everyone. Families love the playful atmosphere, couples enjoy it as a quirky date spot, and groups of friends often take advantage of its BYOB policy for a more relaxed evening out. The courses are well-maintained, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming, ensuring a pleasant experience for everyone. Prices are around $12 each for the 16 hole course. +5$ if you want to do the 36 hole course. We took the 16-hole because we had young kids with us. There's a magical sense of nostalgia that hits you the moment you step through the gates, and it's easy to see why this place has remained a treasured part of Austin’s culture for so many years. Peter Pan Mini-Golf isn’t just a mini-golf course—it’s a piece of local heritage and a beacon of Austin's eclectic and fun-loving spirit. If you haven’t been yet, grab your putter, and your sense of adventure, and head over for an unforgettable outing!
Peter Pan Mini-Golf is definitely an Austin staple and a place I typically take folks who are visiting. There’s two 18-hole courses, one easy, and one that’s a little more challenging. Whenever I go, I typically do both courses which ends up being about an hour or so of playtime depending on how big of a group you have. The perfect size group to play with is 4 people including yourself. So if you have a big group, I would just split yourselves up so that you don’t take too long per hole. The theme of this park is a little broad as there’s some Texas themes mixed in with some fantasy elements. Not that it really matters. The art pieces are very iconic, especially the giant T-Rex. The holes themselves are very fun and have high replay value which is why I never hesitate to go back and play again. I think I’ve played here at least 3 or 4 times now. With how reasonable the price is to play, if you’re thinking about going- just do it. You’ll have a great time!
