Around the World Mini Golf

Around the World Mini Golf in Lake George, NY is a wonderful tourist attraction and I figured it deserved its own post. I have been going to this mini golf attraction for as long as I can remember, and I can personally tell you that it never gets old. It is a challenge each time, and is a lot of fun as well. There are two separate courses that you can choose from when you go, or you can play both in the same day if you want to! There is the US course, or there is the other course which features landmarks from around the whole world – hence the name Around the World Golf. Both courses provide a challenge, but are still fun for children as well as adults. Tickets are $8.25 (adults) and $6.75 (child), and then if you do decide to play a second game, you get a discount at $5.95 (adults) and $4.50 (child). They also offer a senior discount, as well as coupons.

My top 5 tips for going –

1)      Wear appropriate shoes, so if by chance you happen to accidentally hit your toes with your golf club it won’t hurt so bad.

2)      I would recommend going either in the morning or in the afternoon/night when it is cooler outside so you don’t get too hot.

3)      Going in groups of 3+ is a lot more fun, so gather up all your friends for a round of golf!

4)      Be mindful of other groups when you are playing. Don’t move on to the next hole if there is still another group there – wait your turn!

5)      Lastly, be mindful of the statues! Don’t stand on them or deface them – admire from afar if you must.

If you go, parking can be tricky to find, especially during the busier times of the day/summer. This is a tourist area so it is bound to be busy up in the lake during the summer. They do have a small parking area; however, it is usually full. You can also park on the street, you will just need to remember to bring a bunch of change to put into the parking meter. Around the World is open from 9 to midnight May to September, just be sure to check the weather because they could close if it rains or storms badly.
