Originally, at least according to the press release, the Walker Artist-Designed Mini Golf was supposed to end on September 2nd. However, the Art Center extended the Mini Golf to September 30th. We took advantage of this extension, and had a pretty good time playing the 10-hole course on Friday.
Currently, the Walker moved the mini golf to the Walker terraces (they re-named it as Skyline Mini Golf), so you’ll have to take the elevator (or the stairs) to level seven. Most of the unique course aren’t challenging (they aren’t meant to be), except hole #3, which had a huge uphill start. Most people hit the ball off the course (since there aren’t any nets to catch the ball).
There were several different color golf balls, to help large group of players keep track of their balls. Putts were also color-coordinated for various sizes.
We saw large groups of college friends and families with a couple of kids, and they were all having a blast.
Depending on skill levels, the whole thing won’t take more than an hour to complete. The free parking by the Loring Park area allows for two hours. If you are worry about getting a parking ticket, the Walker does have a parking ramp for $5 for the day. Overall, it was pretty fun.
When they bring Mini Golf back in 2019, we’ll be sure to bring more friends from out of town (since we always take them to the Walker Art Center’s Sculpture Garden as a main attraction).
You still have a little time left, but the Walker Artist-Designed Mini Golf will end on September 30th, 2018. Tickets are $10 for an adult ($8 Walker members, U.S. Bank cardmembers, and ages 7–18). Kids under 6 play for free.
