Pixar Putt has come to New York City and you are going to want to check out this little slice of Disney-Pixar magic in the Big city.
We were invited to check out the outdoor mini golf pop-up experience at Pier A in Battery Park City. Was the experience up to PAR or as the pro golfers say "a real dog track?" Read on to find out.
What is Pixar Putt?
Pixar Putt is an outdoor mini-golf experience boasting 18 Pixar inspired holes. The pop-up experience brings to life the beloved films and characters we all love. Whether you are a Toy Story fan or spend your movie time "Finding Nemo", you will be holding back the urge to shout "Silenzio Bruno!" every time you go for a hole on one of the courses.
Our Review:
Each of the 18 holes are cleverly themed around a popular Pixar movie. Your adventure begins in Portorosso on the Italian Riviera with Pixar's newest film Luca and ends on a magical note in Paradise Falls once your entire party has gotten the ultimate shot.
My family loved the experience. Two holes in and everyone was campaigning for a trip back to the parks. That's the thing about Pixar, the films evoke a heartwarming, familiar response and ours was the urge to get back to the magic.
A few things to note that we'd like to see if Pixar Putt returns to NYC in the future (hint hint Rockefeller Productions).
- We felt cramped at times. We'd like a little more leg room to make our shots (yes we are competitive and came to play!) The courses are artistically beautiful and a bigger space between each would also evoke a more magical feel.
- The course is a bit challenging for younger children. This adds to the fun but can back up the wait time for the next hole. Adding a few photo-ops between the holes would alleviate this and add more fun photo time. I know...it is Manhattan and space is scarce but a girl can dream.
- A gift shop would be a nice addition. I noticed 3 young children's style shirts for sale at the ticket booth but us big kids want some merch too! Did you notice my New York City Mickey shirt in the photos? I love to represent.
Overall all Pixar Putt scores a hole in one! We enjoyed our time there and are planning to take some friends back when they visit NYC in October. If you live in NYC or are planning to visit by November 28th, Pixar Putt is a must do!
