Putt-putt your way to family fun when you and the kids play mini golf in Atlanta
If you’re looking for a hole-in-one for your next family outing, head to one of the city’s best spots for mini golf, Atlanta parents. Whether pirates, aliens, glow-in-the-dark, or skyline views are your jam, Atlanta mini golf is where it’s at for family fun that turns back the clock, at least a bit. Hint: Bowling is another. Our suggestion? Choose a fun restaurant for dinner and make a whole day of it.
1. Skyline Park at Ponce City Market
While it may not be Pebble Beach, Skyline Park on top of Ponce City Market offers hands-down the best view in Atlanta when it comes to mini-golf. With the city lights twinkling around you, your pint-sized putters won't even mind if they miss a hole-in-one. In addition to the course, there is a giant slide, carnival games, concessions, and more.

2. Monster Mini Golf
A monster-themed, indoor mini golf place that works even when the weather is a bit scary? Why not? This glow-in-the-dark golf course will have older kids squealing with excitement but might be a bit much if you have small children that tend to scare easily. The animated props at every turn, challenging course, on-site arcade, and live DJ spinning tunes are a perfect match for families with older kids looking for a frighteningly fun time.

4. Great Locomotive Chase Adventure Golf
What this putt-putt course lacks in slick, special effects it makes up for in serenity. And did we mention it has a train theme? Right. Let them put around broken tracks and dodge an oncoming train in a cool tunnel feature. They may not remember the monolith but they'll be talking about the mini golf for ages. Keep in mind that the mini golf course is only available on "Attractions Open" days at the park. You can check the schedule before heading out for a round.
