The most fun miniature golf I've ever done Highly recommend! Not your average mini golf...pinball machine, zip line, batting cage, pool table etc The girl helping us was extremely sweet and kind. We went the afternoon of Sunday the 16th of February read more

Interactive and creative dino mini golf! There's 2 courses to choose from, an easy and a hard. T-Rexes and Triceratops galore make for a never ending day of fun for kids and adults alike. The last time I was there, the zip line hold was under construction, but is definitely a fan favorite when it's working! read more

Loads of challenging fun and bonding time! 5 out of 5 for family fun!! We found ourselves here on a whim looking for something to do on a Sunday afternoon. The atmosphere was casual and relaxing, and the multiple indoor mini golf courses were challenging and fun and generated a lot of laughs! We paid for 18 holes, and went through both the red and blue courses. There are some crazy mini golf holes, like one where you have to shoot pool with the ball to start the course, one where you ride a zip line and toss your ball in order to tee off. And dinosaurs all over the place standing in your way or adding atmosphere. The courses were well maintained and clean and entertaining. The courses are great for both adults and children. AND there is an adults only course in the middle where you can drink and play (we will save that for a future trip). I recommend this place for any mini golf fan, or anyone just looking to find some fun bonding times! read more

This is a wonderful indoor course! It gets warm in the building, so wear layers! We loved the unique holes, the zip line was an adventure! Overall great experience! We had 19 in our group ranging from 7 to 65 years old! It was fun for everyone! My advise to the business: bump up your drink and snack options! I know you aren't in the food business, but we were ready for drinks and a snack after an hour of playing! read more

Every year our adult kids come home for Christmas. This year, our youngest and I found THE BEST miniature golf course EVER!! Prehistoric Putt. We LOVED it and decided that next time everyone is home, Prehistoric Putt is an absolute MUST! read more

Super fun place. Three different courses. There is an adult one with mini games and booze. (We haven't tried it yet), an adventure course which is a bit easier but has things like a zip line, then there is a harder difficulty one. Each hole is super unique with things like a cross bow you fling your golf ball from or two pool tables stacked you have to navigate on. I recommend it for kids or adults. read more

Such a fun spot! There were 6 in our party (max allowed). We chose the easier of the two courses, but it was very difficult. If you have kids who get frustrated by that then you may want to prep them. They have an arcade and lots of dinosaur statues for photo ops! We went early. When we got done it was very crowded! read more

This place is pretty cool. I took my son and 6 year old granddaughter for her last day of summer before school started. We all had a great time. Lots of new and different holes including a zip line. We were happy it is all indoors because it was raining outside. read more

Ian was the best worker there 10/10 would recommend, he was very helpful and kind and helped a lot

What a fun and unique rainy day activity in Independence Missouri, not too far from the city's center. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the low cost alternative to something as intense as Top Golf as well as the not too serious, but still definitely challenging for adults, mini golf course themed around dinosaurs. Though, prehistoric putt may seem like a children's attraction do not be fooled, they offer alcoholic beverages, not at all as extensive as Craft Putt in Overland Park, but a decent selection of canned beer for around $4. It also offers an adult only course and golf simulator. We came on a rainy weekday around noon and to our surprise the entire place was empty upon arrival, score! I wouldn't want to come to this place when it is crawling with kids (or just people in general) because I feel like you would feel rushed to finish and crowded on the course. However, the day and time we went ended up being perfect. There are two different courses offered, a blue course and a red course, one is more difficult and one is more adventurous, though we picked the difficult course it was still very different from normal mini golf which kept the game play interesting for us as adults. While playing the 18 holes we came across one other group who came in after us with little children but, that was it. All in all it took us a little over an hour to play the 18 hole course but, keep in mind we took our time and definitely played a few of the more fun holes over. For $10 a person it was a great date activity and I could definitely see us inviting a group of our family and friends here again! If you are curious about prehistoric putt, even if you're an adult, I would say go and give it a try just maybe make sure ahead of time that it isn't too crowded before you make the drive out to Independence. read more

Prehistoric Putt Independence - Mini Golf Near Me - Independence, Missouri

We had such a fun time with our six year old. We did the easier course. It was plenty challenging for her. I loved that it was like an obstacle course. The zipline chair was so unique. There are old school arcade games and a simulator. This place truly caters to anyone. We saw to women in their 70s doing the course. I wouldn't recommend taking someone younger than five. There is also an adult's only course. They even sell adult beverages you can take on the courses. The dinosaurs throughout are fun for the kids too. read more

I really appreciate the unique take on traditional mini golf - softball, "pinball," and archery style holes made for a fun and interesting round of 18. We were a party of 9 that ranged from 8yo to 66yo and each person had a great time! read more

Prehistoric Putt Independence - Mini Golf Near Me - Independence, Missouri

This place is super underrated! Omg sooo fun! It's not just putt putt... you have to do fun stuff before hand to see where you putt from! Like shoot a basketball goal, make it, then you can putt from where you made it! Also staff was super friendly, wish I could remember the guys name at the front but he was super nice and helpful! read more

Great and unique indoor mini golf. It was fun but it can feel too crowded and there was a wait between holes.

Most unique putt putt experience I've ever had. Great place for kids and adults alike.

I highly recommend going here, it's very fun and super enjoyable! All of the courses are so fun.

My son LOVES this place and we've visited here multiple times, each time he left with a big smile on his face! I love that there are 2 courses - a harder one (his favorite) and an easier one (my daughters favorite). Soccer pool is a MUST every time!! read more

It's fun but not great if busy. Definitely unique mini golf place. Worth going and they have virtual gold as well.

My four grandchildren tried this new attraction today. I'm happy to say they had a great time! The twist on coventional mini golf was creative and fun. it was a diverse group, ages 5-12 and they all enjoyed themselves. Who wouldn't love a zip line in a mini golf course!? Lars and Nolan were very informative and helpful and answered all our questions. Next time we plan to get an adult group together for a round. Thank you for bringing this to Independence! read more

Clean facility, in good repair, with fun mini golf. Bring family and friends for the best experience

It has been tradition for our family to play miniature golf every summer when I go home for a visit and we have always played at Cool Crest. Cool Crest has admittedly seen better days--the landscaping has declined and some of the animated obstacles are not functioning, but we still continued to go there every year, the only problem being that the weather in Kansas City in July can be extremely hot and humid which definitely takes the fun out of playing. Prehistoric Putt is an indoor facility which solves the weather problem, but it lacks the charm that comes with the flowers and trees and other landscaping. There are 2 courses at Prehistoric Putt and we opted for the one that was advertised as more difficult primarily because there wasn't anyone on it. There were a lot of kids on the other course which looked pretty backed up. The first hole on the "blue" course is set in the middle of plexiglass which was ridiculous. There is no way to finesse your putt on plexiglass and there were at least 2 other holes that incorporated this really bad idea. There are several other "unconventional" obstacles including a requirement to hit your ball with a plastic baseball bat, use your putter as a pool cue on a pool table, and bounce your ball "beer pong" style. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but to me, this was just very gimmicky and not "miniature golf." They also cram 2, 18 hole courses into the facility which really takes away any ambiance. Some of the last holes took longer than most--the one with the pool tables said you could take up to 10 strokes--so there was a huge log jam at the end, and because the holes are so close together, there wasn't any place to stand except on the course itself. It appeared that one of the groups ahead of us had 7 people in it, which of course made matters worse. Because it is indoors, it was NOISY! On top of all of this--it cost twice as much ($10) as Cool Crest. read more
