Glow-in-the-Dark Mini Golf: How Black Light Mixes up the Classic Game
Think you know mini golf? Just when you thought you knew all you needed to know about this classic game, along comes glow-in-the-dark mini golf: indoor miniature golf, lit with black lights. It's a whole new twist, and it works day or night, rain or shine, little kid or teen. We found five cool spots near Los Angeles that crank up the day glow effects to set the stage for mini golfers. Wear plenty of white or clothes with glow-in-the-dark designs and take the family to one of these luminous, eye-popping destinations that can rescue a dull afternoon, or maybe set the stage for a great birthday party.

Glowzone has a number of glowing attractions, among them 18 holes of glow-in-the-dark mini golf with a fun variety of obstacles. Other Glowzone activities include a ninja course, rock climbing, bazooka ball, and a laser maze, all of which share the glow-in-the-dark theme. Guests can pay by individual attraction, or buy challenge passes for multiple attractions and the arcade. Another approach is an unlimited pass by the hour. There are several birthday party packages, too—in fact some attractions close to the public if booked for parties.
