Looking for something fun to do with the kids that isn’t another trip to the trampoline park? At The Willows Golf Lounge, our golf simulators aren’t just for golfers playing 18 holes at Pebble Beach. They also have mini golf, with multiple courses to choose from, and kids love it.
Parents with kids under 10 can rent a bay for $40 an hour (normally $65). No golf experience needed, no weather to worry about, and nobody has to stand in line in the cold. Pick a course, grab a putter and play.
Mini Golf, Simulator Style
Our bays use Foresight simulator technology, the same system serious golfers use to practice their swing. Pick the mini golf option and the screen becomes a whole different game. Kids putt for real on the bay floor, and the ball rolls through the course on screen, with ramps, curves and obstacles along the way.
The best part is that there’s more than one course. Play one, then switch to another. Every visit can feel a little different, which matters when you’ve got a kid who gets bored of the same thing twice.
It’s simple enough for a 4-year-old to enjoy and competitive enough that Mom and Dad will want to win too.
An Easy Indoor Activity for Kids, Any Season
Anyone with young kids in Chester County knows the stretch from November to March can feel long. When it’s too cold for the playground and everyone’s going stir-crazy, you need a few indoor activities with kids that are actually fun for the adults too.
Indoor mini golf checks a lot of boxes:
- It’s warm and dry. Rain, snow or 20 degrees, it doesn’t matter.
- It works for every age. Toddlers, big kids and grandparents can all play.
- It’s active. Kids are up, moving and focusing, not just staring at a tablet.
- It’s private. Your family gets your own bay, so no waiting on the group ahead of you.
- It’s quick to plan. Book an hour, show up, play.
If you’ve been searching for things to do with kids in the winter near Malvern, West Chester, King of Prussia, Exton or Paoli, this is an easy one to add to the list.
Mini Golf, Real Golf or a Little of Both
Some families come for mini golf and nothing else. Others mix it up. Since you have the whole bay, you can switch between mini golf, simulator games and full golf whenever you want during your rental.
For kids who are curious about golf, this is a low-pressure way to start. They can work on putting, take a few full swings on the simulator and see how far the ball goes, all without the pressure of a real course or the people behind them waiting. It’s a great sports activity for kids who love being active, and it builds real skills like focus, hand-eye coordination and patience (well, some patience).
If your child gets hooked, The Willows also offers lessons with our PGA professional, Maria.
Food and Drinks Delivered to Your Bay
Nobody wants to pack up the kids to go find lunch afterward. Through our local partners, you can order food and drinks right to your bay while you play:
- Bomba Tacos & Rum: tacos and bites kids actually eat
- Oola Bowls: fresh, healthier options for snacks or lunch
- Sly Fox: local craft beer for the grown-ups
Make it a lunch outing, an after-school treat or an easy weekend afternoon without having to plan a separate meal.
