Mini Golf: The Perfect Field Trip in Gastonia

Monster Mini Golf in Gastonia Has Several Incredible Attractions To Enjoy

Our attractions are perfect for guests of all ages. Whether you’re looking for a field trip destination for your preschool class, the toddlers in your daycare program, the children in your school-age care program, summer camp attendees, or the elementary or middle school class you teach, we offer excellent activities your group will enjoy.

Gastonia’s Monster Mini Golf’s featured attractions include the following:

• Mini Golf: Our mini golf course features intriguing obstacles and animatronic monsters over 18 holes. Depending on the size of your group and their mini golf skills, it usually takes about 45 minutes to play mini golf. 
• Arcade: The bleeps and blasts from our arcade games attract children and capture their interest. We have dozens of games that appeal to children of all ages, including Basketball Hoops, Big Bass Wheel, Down the Clown, Glow Air Hockey, Jurassic Park, Skee Ball, SpongeBob SquarePants, and prize cranes. Players can win prizes playing the prize cranes or earn tickets playing other games. They take the tickets to the prize center, where they can cash in the tickets for wacky jewelry, stuffed animals, and other prizes.
• Laser maze: Players must weave through this maze of laser beams without breaking any beams. They must also get through the maze before the clock runs out, adding to the difficulty of this challenge.
• Mini bowling: The rules for mini bowling are the same as for 10-pin or duckpin bowling. The critical differences between mini bowling and 10-pin are the length of the lanes, the number of frames played, and the size of the balls. 10-pin bowling lanes are twice as long as mini bowling lanes, so the pins are much closer when playing mini bowling. Mini bowling games are five frames long, making them fast-paced games. Lastly, mini bowling balls are comparable to the size of duckpin bowling balls, and are much smaller than 10-pin bowling balls. 

Monster Mini Golf in Gastonia Is Perfect for Energetic Kids 

Energetic kids love to move, and they have plenty of opportunities for movement at Monster Mini Golf.

When children play mini golf, they are on their feet and swinging their arms when they putt at each hole. Children may also find themselves squealing and dodging our moving monsters as they play.

Children burn energy standing while playing video games. Games, like Basketball Hoops and Glow Air Hockey, involve using their upper body, and all arcade games involve using fine motor skills.

A laser maze involves angling your body to weave through the beams, and moving fast enough to complete the maze before the timer goes off. 

Mini bowling involves using your legs and arms to throw the ball and knock down pins. 

Monster Mini Golf in Gastonia Is Perfect for Curious Kids 

Instruct preschoolers to wear fluorescent pink, green, orange, or yellow, and let them discover what happens to their clothes when they enter our glow-in-the-dark mini golf course. You could also add glow-in-the-dark face paint before arriving. 

Our arcade games capture children’s interest with their intriguing sounds. For some, the appeal is trying to figure out how the games work. A trip to the arcade could even inspire students who become future video game designers.

Monster Mini Golf in Gastonia Unlocks Learning Opportunities 

There are multiple ways to turn a Monster Mini Golf field trip into an educational experience. Teachers can use a Monster Mini Golf field trip to complement their curriculum in multiple subjects, including the following:

• Art: Children can bring their sketch pads and draw pictures of their favorite monsters.
• Language arts: Use the monsters to inspire students, and have them write a story about one of the monsters.
• Mathematics: You can teach students about probabilities, so they can determine how likely each person is to get a hole-in-one. You can also reinforce their skills with addition while playing mini golf. 
• Photography: Have students photograph their favorite monsters.
• Physical education: Laser maze, mini bowling, and mini golf are fantastic low-impact activities that help students burn calories, and improve their muscle tone. 
• Physics: Mini golf is a great way to learn about physics because success involves knowing how to use angles to make the perfect shot.
