    Beautiful course
    Lisa O.

    Best mini golf in Williamsburg!!!! There are 2 courses. Easy and hard. You can play both or just choose one. We only had time for one this time. We chose Blackbeard's course. Harder course. Staff super super nice. They are so cool I went back to chat at the end just to learn about this mini golf course. This place is 24 years old. The first owner let it get in bad shape but sold it. The second owners have put all new greens and improved with a little of really cool props. Water features are my favorite and several levels. Walking up and down and into caves. This place is a 5 for sure. Oh yeah at the end there is a few photo ops. That we had fun with. So if you had cone during the first owner please please please go try them again because this place is great nowhere

    This was the best mini golf course I've ever been to! It's so fun and looks so cool! Use the bathroom before you start! -Kaitlyn age 9

    Blackbeard's course
    Ashleigh M.

    This was a very fun 1.5 hour round of mini golf for the two of us. They have two courses, both are 18 holes each. You can buy them together cheaper than you can buy them separately. We purchased the more difficult experience, the Blackbeard course. We parked in their own lot and were greeted by a kind lady who took an interest in us and our vacation week. She helped us get started and handed us our clubs and golf balls. The course is well decorated, and each hole has a fun fact about Blackbeard. Throughout the course, you learn more and more about his life, chronologically. It was very clean and well organized, you knew where to go each time for the next hole. It's all outside, and we had good weather. I don't remember if there was much shade, but there is a part where you go under a waterfall. We had no one behind us, as we came on a Monday afternoon, so we spent some extra time on one hole with a steep incline because it was fun to launch the ball. There is a water feature, so you might lose your ball in the water, but we were able to retrieve it ourselves easily. They played some odd music, some was Disney or pirate-themed, and then at the end, it was the kind of music you hear at a Mexican restaurant. It made me laugh. When finished, the last hole collects your ball and you simply turn in your clubs to the little house where you check-in. I would definitely recommend this location, as it was fun, clean, and entertaining. I'm glad we stopped by during our vacation.

    One day I saw a commercial for the new Mario Golf game coming out soon and started thinking about some of the best mini golf places I had went to as a kid. Immediately I was thinking about some of the pirate, dinosaur, and themed ones near Myrtle Beach, and wondered if they existed where I live in Richmond. Turns out, this Pirate's Cove isn't that far from Richmond and is perfect for a day trip to Williamsburg! There's two 18 hole courses, so if you have the stamina and interest you can spend an hour or two playing 36 holes. The layout of the holes bring you up stairs, through caves, around water, it's nice. The holes themselves aren't overly challenging but the greens are in great condition. There are facts about pirates and some pirate themed music (which, okay, after an hour or two of hearing the same song repeat for the 4th time, might not be a positive, but I think they mixed it up partway through). There's a definite family fun pirate theme to the whole place, and that appeal alone is enough to warrant a visit. Not too expensive, not too busy, nice places to sit and rest between holes, far as mini golf comes, especially for the area, it's one of the best for sure!

    Another visit to Williamsburg and another trip to Pirates cove! This is one of the best themed mini golf courses I have been to. Nephew and I played the Black Beards course but they offer 2 18 hole golf courses. Great value and a lot of fun overall! Will definitely be back again!

    A nice little mini golf place for something to do outside in the summer that naturally has distancing between your group with the next. There are 2 courses, same price one is easier than the other, but the easy one is small child easy, so don't worry about being rusty at golf and taking the more advanced course. Every hole has a little Blackbeard fact, there's some nice variety of set ups, and they vary in challenge. Also as it turns out, the balls float as I saw many people learn first hand. It's a fun small group (6 or less) activity, and on a nice weekend, you'll be a bit backed up with people going ahead of you, so if you can come early or a weeknight,you may have less of a wait.If you do wait, there are some decent places for photo ops as you wait for the next hole to clear up.

    What a clean and fun place to play mini golf. We took the kids at dark and had so much fun!

    This is by far the best mini golf course ever! They have 2 areas to choose from, Black Beared or Captains. The first one has more steps and a bigger cave. There are a couple of caves with amazing water features, cannons, bridges and lots of cool rock steps to walk up in. The scenery is so beautiful. The price is reasonable. We had a wonderful time golfing st this beautiful course.

    Fantastic family fun! Beautiful course, clean, with fun changing game play for all levels. Both kids and adults had a great time. Staff were super friendly and kind! If you are in Williamsburg definitely make a stop here!

    The ride selection is fantastic almost all of them are world-class. My personal favorite is…read morePantheon, although, objectively, Verbolten is probably the best ride in the park. However, the rides are really the only thing I have to say that's positive. Ride operations were poor at best. They take a long time to load and unload, with the only exceptions being Griffon and InvadR. The worst offender was Tempesto. In fact, the entire Festa Italia area had pretty poor operations, which is unfortunate since it has some of the best rides in the park. Tempesto is a very short ride, and in the time it took them just to load one train, it could have completed about eight cycles. I also found that Apollo's Chariot and Pantheon were pretty restrictive for larger riders. I'm not that big of a guy, and they had to squeeze me into both of them. (Also, there's a ride operator at Apollo's Chariot who will, without warning, shove the restraint into your thighs and is apparently not afraid to risk permanent damage to your future lineage.) I can't imagine having to push a wheelchair around this park. There are extremely steep hills everywhere. So if you're planning to visit and have a mobility disability, all I've got to say is: good luck. The food was kind of mid, with one exception: the pizza pretzel. That was actually pretty good. To sum it all up, if you only care about rides, this park is a great option. However, when it comes to literally everything else, it's pretty weak.

    We spent two days at Busch Gardens as first-time visitors. It truly is a beautiful park divided…read moreinto different European sections. My only point of criticism is the lack of signage to get around. It's not intuitive, however, you can download the app and it will give walking directions. The "kiddie land" is Sesame Street-themed and also has a splash pad area and a playground. There is a themed show that takes place a few times a day in the splash pad area. There is a secondary "kiddie land" Land of the Dragons that features a large treehouse and rope nets along with a few rides. There are also kiddie rides scattered throughout the European areas too. My oldest and I rode the coasters he was tall enough for. Favorites were the new Verbolten , the Big Bad Wolf, and DarKoaster. The railway is a good way to get to other areas of the park. My oldest also loved Escape from Pompeii and my youngest loved le scoot. We definitely plan to return in the future.

There is no admission, you pay by the ride OR you can get a ride pass that provides you with unlimited rides (except the arcade). They have go karts for kids and adults, bumper cars, a ride where you get in an inflatable "kart" and bump others and shoot water, a ride called the " Disk'O" where you sit and it twirls you around while you go back and forth on a ramp, and they have a playground area for the kids. They have this mini coaster called "Python Pit", and you have been warned . They were in the process of expanding the area to include what looked like a multi- ramp go kart ride. There is a snack bar, but it closed around 7p (but the park stayed opened to 9 ) and the vending machines weren't working. Had to take a star off for that. (Free water was provided). They had plenty of benches (some covered) for you to sit and observe (as I did) and a covered pavilion with tables and benches for you to host a party. All in all, it was okay, but they need to keep the snack bar open until at least 30 minutes before closing AND please fix the busted vending machines!
