Tips for Playing Mini Golf Near Disney World With Kids
- Play in the evening. Mini golf in the Florida afternoon sun is miserable. Most courses are open until 10 PM or later. Go after dinner for cooler temps, shorter waits, and (at Hollywood Drive-In) glow-in-the-dark holes.
- Combine it with dinner. The US-192 courses are surrounded by restaurants. The I-Drive courses are walking distance from dozens of dining options. Play a round, then grab food on the way back to your vacation home.
- Bring water. Outdoor courses in Orlando humidity will dehydrate you faster than you expect. Most courses do not have water fountains on the course itself.
- Budget it as your “cheap night.” After spending $500+ on a day at Disney, a $12 to $20 round of mini golf feels like a steal. Pair it with a swim in your private pool and you have a full evening for under $60.
Plan Your Mini Golf Evening From Your Vacation Home
Mini golf is one of those family-friendly activities in Orlando beyond Disney that everyone loves and nobody argues about. It is cheap, it is fun, and you are back at your vacation home with a game room and private pool by 9 PM.
