Shipwreck Neon Mini Golf
When it’s too hot, too wet or too dark for the beach, Shipwreck Neon is the indoor answer. It has two air-conditioned, glow-in-the-dark 9-hole courses, one a pirate shipwreck and one an undersea world.
Why families go
Families call it simple, inexpensive fun, and a lifesaver on a stormy afternoon. The blacklight scenery wins over younger kids especially. The holes are easy and every one is ADA accessible, so everyone can play together. Plan on about an hour.
