    They have a nice indoor mini golf course with 18 holes across two floors. They do a good job with the pirate theme with a variety of animatronic characters as well as cannons and a volcano which go off occasionally. None of the holes are particularly challenging, but it’s a fun walk and a reasonable $12 pp. The venue is the former ocean plunge pool from early 1900’s and there are some cool photos on the wall.

    BEWARE OF SCAM IN MAGIC STORE There's a magic store inside, they sold my son "magic rope", he even showed him how to do the trick. Appearantly he told my son not to open it until we left (I didn't hear that part). Once we got into the car (hours later) we opened the box and it was empty. $11 down the drain.
