Amazing view of the water and it feels like you're not even in the middle of the city. All the trees and plants sort of separate the course from the surrounding park.
The golf clubs and balls were in great condition and so was the course. The whole course seemed well maintained and quite clean.
Most of the holes are pretty straight forward. My favorite holes to play were the one behind the waterfall and the one where the ball drops into a chute. We visited on a weekday morning and it wasn't crowded at all so we were able to take our time playing and re-playing each hole.
Definitely one of the best mini golf courses in NYC!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Christine E.Queens, Queens, NY054Aug 18, 2024
Despite the rainy weather, our mini-golf experience turned out to be surprisingly enjoyable. The course was well-maintained, and the wet conditions added an extra layer of challenge that made the game even more fun. The staff was friendly and did a great job of keeping everything running smoothly despite the rain. We had to buy ponchos. I thought they were a bit pricey but the rain started really coming down.
Parking, however, was a bit tricky. Im glad we went on the weekend because after looking around for awhile we found a spot. But considering the reasonable price for a round of mini-golf, it was worth the minor inconvenience. All in all, it was a great outing, and the rain didn't dampen our spirits!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - May 28, 20241 check-in
Pier 25 mini golf is one of the high-value activities you can do in the city with a group, and it's a lot of fun. The staff takes pretty good care of the course, there are fantastic views of the city, and it's just a chill vibe playing 18 holes through the trees.
You won't find windmills, loop-de-loops, or other fun obstacles here; it seems as though it's designed to be played by people of all ages, so it's not extremely difficult, and most holes are pretty short.
Certainly not the best mini golf course I've ever played, but it's Manhattan's only outdoor course, adults play for less than $15/person, and you can enjoy some time outside close to the city skyline. It's definitely worth going!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 848228Feb 21, 2024

Customer Service: Normal, nothing special.
Ambience: Clean and has Hudson river view. Nice at night but cold during the winter so please dress accordingly. It has a very cute resto near it as well should you wanna try it.
Fee: $10 per head, last time we went end of Dec 2023.
First time to try mini golf, I thought it's a boring sport. But surprisingly I enjoyed it and wanted to do it again maybe a different obstacle this time. This is a must try activity though if you happen to be around the area.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - 215115705353Mar 19, 2024Updated review
This is a review of the Science Playground that just opened about a month ago. It's listed as "Pier 26 Science Playground", but it's by Pier 25 instead. It's a very cool play-space, with two gigantic sturgeons kids can enter and climb. Weekends are beyond crowded, but I bet it's pretty calm on weekdays and early am Saturdays or Sundays. There's s lot to explore and climb and the structures are cool and original.

Busy, busy, busy. If your child gets overwhelmed by overstimulation, you may want to visit in the morning. Afternoons, especially on weekends, are a madhouse.
Plenty of climbing options at this original playground featuring a huge spider web, a long (wide, not tall) climbing wall, 3 options for short and easy rock climbing, swings and a few other options to keep your kids busy. Summer sprinkles must be glorious and there sand, too.
The area has services available to entertain adults as well. It's a very attractive space, but since there's little else around, the place gets packed early. - 981247372Jun 4, 2024
Course was fun and easy, $12 per golfer was fair for NYC pricing. Fun different holes but nothing too complicated so pace of play wasn't too slow. Lots of shade and water features.

I visited here with my son a couple weeks ago, and the Customer Service is extremely horrible. The ticket clerks were extremely rude, disgruntled, lazy, obnoxious and unwelcoming. I asked about Military Veteran discounts and got a nasty response in front of my 4Y.O son. Do not go here, find another activity for your kids. They are not welcoming to certain people or Military Veterans.

I came here for mini golf on a Saturday morning with a group of 10 people. We split up into three smaller groups, and it took us about an hour to play all 18 holes.
The course, while nothing crazy, was clean and fun. The prices were very affordable. We paid $10/person; I wonder if we received a group rate?
If I'm in the mood to play mini golf again, I would definitely come back!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Aug 17, 2022
I came to the mini golf center many years ago for my 18th birthday. That was a little over 10 years ago. I came here most recently with a group and played a round of mini golf. The course was challenging but fun all the same. I loved the music selection, and the decorations were pretty cool. I especially loved the part where it looked like you could walk through a cave. I also loved that it was directly next to the water. They had a cafe too which was nice. One of us had ordered a sandwich and it looked delicious.
The only weird things were that you couldn't choose the color ball that you wanted because too many people had stolen the ball afterward. They also got rid of the ability to win a free game if you got a hole-in-one on the last round. Overall though I loved the experience and I loved having my birthday there as well.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Aug 31, 2022
The line for mini golf was quite long - about a 30 to 45 minute wait. Once we got in, golfing all 18 holes took about 1.5 hours just because of waiting on people in front of us, but it was nice because the holes were relatively shaded.
The course is nothing very elaborate, but it was a nice escape from the city right on a pier, and it only cost $10 for a pretty fun activity. Even though I had fun golfing, I am not sure I would go again just because the course wasn't particularly interesting, and we had to wait quite a long time to get in.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
