Down and Out in Boston: Monster Mini Golf

If you are looking for something really fun and different to do on the weekend, check out Monster Mini Golf. Though it's not located directly in Boston, there are locations all across the country so you are bound to find one close enough. This place combines four of my favorite things: miniature golf, good music, monsters, and black light!! That's right, there is an indoor mini golf course that is lighted entirely by black light. The mini golf course is straightforward and typical of other mini golf places with barriers that prevent you from hole-in-ones and holes that drop your ball into a different part of the course. But the true beauty of this place is the atmosphere. The employees are dressed in white lab coats that glow under the lights (as do the balls that you use). All of the walls are painted with ghouls, goblins, and monsters of every variety that also glow. The course is peppered with giant monsters that range from the headless horseman to evil pumpkins, and piles of skulls. A large disco ball is suspended from the ceiling and makes these ghouls glitter even more. On weekend nights, a DJ comes to spin some tunes and everyone is focused more on the fun atmosphere and great music than on holes-in-one. Each course also features an arcade with the usual games as well as function rooms for parties.

So, if you're thinking about a great first date or an interesting outing with a group of friends...you definitely need to check out Monster Mini Golf. It's inexpensive and a complete blast!!
