Staten Island Go Karts & Mini-Golf

First and last time going. They have signs all over saying you must be 58 inches to drive the go carts and then six children get on that are about four feet tall. I got crashed hard twice and now icing my back in bed. If I wanted to go to bumper cars, I would have. The kids can’t even be to blame. There were no instructions and no telling them they wer to small to drive. PS As we were leaving, I heard a recorded safety rules audio playing. Too bad they didn’t run that before our group or I might not be hurting right now. Head to Long Island if you want mini golf or go-​carts.

I had pretty nice time here. They have mini-​golf, go karts, and batting cages. I don’t recall the prices (went back in the summer) but it was cheap. Parking is free and the place is clean. They had children and adults participating in all of the activities.

3.5 stars…
Bet you didn’t think there was a place in the city you could drive go-​carts, let alone mini golf and batting cages in the same place. Well you underestimate NYC. Although I believe Staten Island shouldn’t be part of NYC, it is, there’s nothing we can do about that. There’s a single elevated subway line that runs through the borough but it goes no where near this place. They do have a good sized parking lot so parking isn’t an issue.
Everything is well maintained and clean but at the same time nothing isn’t that interesting or above average. The go-​kart track is pretty simple and fairly small, lots of turns to make your slow car seem like it’s going faster (and the cars did seem on the slower side on the small straight aways). The mini golf was the same way, pretty simple but just interesting enough to still be fun. Don’t expect any extreme mini golf design. You’re really limited in NYC when it comes to mini golf so to have a clean affordable place to play at all is nice. The batting cages worked perfectly, the pitches were consistent and I didn’t have to deal with any jams. They offered several speeds of both baseball and softball and weren’t Nazi’s about putting on some gross helmet like some places make you do.
Lastly and certainly least is the club house where you pay. It also features some food. They’re really lacking in that department as it’s only soda, pre-​packaged ice cream, candy, and hot dogs. They really should have at least soft serve ice cream. They have a covered patio behind the building full of picnic tables but unless you’re coming with small children, don’t bother buying a snack here.
The prices are as follows:
Mini Golf: $ 6 (18 holes)
Go Karts: $ 6 ($ 3 for passengers)-ride is about 5 minutes (driver must be 58″)
Batting Tokens (18 pitches): $ 2.50

Great local spot!
Been coming here for a while now and would def recommend coming here for an afternoon of mini golf, batting cages, or go carts. This may not be the fanciest mini golf place, however it’s always a great time!

A small entertainment complex, with the standard fare of a go-​kart track, batting cages, and mini-​golf.
I’m not a mini-​golf connoisseur, so I can’t judge the fine details of the course, but the kids seemed to enjoy it. Not sure if it’s because it’s the end of the season, but the water had been drained out of the decorative ponds, so it looked a little ugly.
Batting cages — again, the kids seemed to enjoy them. I couldn’t hit a ball with a stick if it was flying right at me!
I do love go-​karts, but these seemed a little slow, and one of them stalled out three times in the course of our ride! If you really wanna go on go-​karts, the ones on the boardwalk in Atlantic City are really good. But they’re not terribly close by.
They also sell a small selection of refreshments here — including Ralph’s Italian Ices. Yay tasty lemon ice!
If you’re planning on going, they always seem to have discount coupons on their website, so check that out! (Also — just go check out the website (
). Their graphic designer is something else!)

Your experience will differ from my rating depending on how much you like batting cages. I completely missed every ball so the only thing I liked was the gokart.
The GoKart course was narrow, which made it very difficult pass anyone in front. I did it only once and that was on the last turn. I was also the second out of the gate. But overall it was so much fun.
The mini-​golf though was as bland as it could be. There’s no double-​hole, no interesting designs. Hate to say it but it’s the worst one I’ve ever seen.
At $ 6 though, it’s hard to gokart too often. But if that’s no concern for you, go ahead and enjoy the ride!
