Minnesota Mini-Golf Place Now One of the Absolute Best in America
Whether it’s a date night, a family tradition, or a heated battle for bragging rights, mini golf is always a good time in Minnesota! There’s just something about dodging windmills, tackling tricky ramps, and mastering the loop-de-loop that never gets old.
From scenic outdoor courses to the over-the-top themes, there’s a perfect spot for every kind of mini-golf fan. And now, one Minnesota course is getting some serious national attention! Experts say this isn’t just mini golf - it’s an experience, and it just earned a spot among the absolute best in the entire country!
Only one course ranked higher than Minnesota’s and that was Sky Pirates of Mermaid Bay in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
USA Today says Sky Pirates is a themed mini-golf spot that offers two unique adventures - an outdoor pirate quest in the clouds and an indoor mermaid journey through coral reefs and giant sharks.

Can Can Wonderland is a whimsical destination that features more than just indoor mini golf! You'll also find vintage pinball, arcade games, a full bar, tap wall, food, and two performance stages for live entertainment, according to their website.
This award-winning 18-hole course comes straight out of the imaginations of its players — artistic guests have submitted creative ideas like Hole 7's Blue Toad, which has a long tongue-ramp, and Hole 10's Hot Tub Time Machine featuring a polka dot mastodon named Pinky. The grand finale, the Golden Throne, challenges guests to hit their ball into a gold, gleaming toilet. - USA Today
Can Can Wonderland is located between Minneapolis and St. Paul in the heart of the Creative Enterprise Zone on Prior Avenue. It’s housed in the old American Can Company factory, which is exactly where its quirky name comes from!
