Today we went to Tees in Conshohocken to play some mini-golf. I will begin with this caveat--the boys that I nanny for are PHENOMENAL golfers for their ages. The whole process was pretty cheep ($5 for kids, $6 for me). It wasn't crowded (we went at 10:30), and the help was ok (they grumbled a lot, but the guy was really old, so I don't blame him.)
First off, this was not the mini-golf of my youth with fun obstacles, bright lights, and Disney-esque obstacles (read: Golfland), but for the kids, who are all really good at golf, this was right up their alley. It is more or less actually set up like little greens everywhere rather than kitschy windmills that kick up your ball and send it forty feet away. I was a little bummed, but the bottom line was: the kids weren't.
The water that surrounds the holes was downright disgusting though, which led to a gigantic phobia of putting the ball into the water. The kids and I took turns guarding any holes on the course to guarantee this didn't happen. The water was SO gross, in fact, that there was a dead toad floating in it that looked like it had been there for days (this actually upped the entertainment factor for the boys though).
Becky's Final Say: For children (and adults like me) who are more into the carnival-like ambiance of mini-golf, this place isn't for you.
RATING: 5/10
*For lunch, we went to Sam's Grill in Wynnewood. It was okay, but pretty expensive considering everything was off the kid's menu. Also, there were only 4 options on the kid's menu (so picky eaters, be warned!)
Tomorrow we are off to the zoo, which I am already quite partial to, but I am nonetheless excited to see the boys' views of it!
