The Putt District
For families looking for a birthday destination with plenty happening under one roof, The Putt District brings together mini golf, games, food, and more. The 14-hole glow-in-the-dark course gives the birthday group a main activity, while the rest of the space gives kids other ways to have fun before or after their round. It is also a great option for families who want to celebrate without having to move the party from one location to another.
Jar + Cone
A birthday celebration is always better with a sweet treat! Jar + Cone is located inside The Putt District and serves ice cream and floats, making it easy to add dessert to the celebration. Kids can enjoy a scoop or float after their activities, giving the party a sweet way to wrap up the day.
Why Mini Golf Makes a Great Birthday Party
Mini golf gives kids ages 4–12 something they can all participate in at the same time. They can take turns putting, keep track of their scores, and cheer on their friends without needing to follow a complicated set of rules. It also leaves room for kids to be silly, socialize, and enjoy the birthday without the activity taking over the entire celebration.
The glow-in-the-dark setting adds another layer of excitement that makes the activity feel more special than a typical round of mini golf. Kids can make their way through each hole, see how their scores compare, and enjoy a little friendly competition along the way. For parents, it is a chance to watch the kids have fun or join them for a round of their own.
More Than Just Mini Golf
The party does not have to wrap up when the last putt is made. The Clubhouse, located inside The Putt District, gives kids access to more than 100 board games, along with food and a space to hang out with friends.
Jar + Cone is also right inside The Putt District, giving families another way to add to the celebration. Kids can enjoy ice cream or a float after playing, creating a natural way to wind down after the games.
Having mini golf, board games, food, and ice cream all under one roof gives families plenty of options throughout the celebration. Kids can move from one activity to the next without the party becoming complicated.
Birthday Packages
Planning a birthday party at home can mean cleaning the house, decorating, preparing food, keeping kids entertained, and figuring out what to do with everything afterward. The birthday party packages at The Putt District take many of those details off the family's plate.
With packages starting at $165, families can enjoy golf, food, glow items, and more while keeping the cost manageable. Packages can include pizza, pop, glow items, golf, setup, and cleanup, so families do not have to handle the decorations and party setup themselves or worry about cleaning up after everyone heads home. The Putt District also offers themed party upgrades with matching decorations such as napkins, plates, and tablecloths.
Instead, kids can spend their time playing and celebrating while parents get to enjoy the party, too. The setup and cleanup are handled for you, giving families a chance to focus on the birthday instead of everything that comes with hosting at home.
