A Tropical Tee-Off

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for activities that promise fun for all ages, and the 18 Hole Tropical Mini-Golf in Eton was calling my name. The day began with a lively pick-up by Carolyn, whose energy was as infectious as the tropical sun. Her commentary during the drive was a delightful mix of history and local insights, setting the stage for what promised to be an unforgettable day.

Upon arrival, the mini-golf course was a sight to behold. Nestled among lush tropical gardens, the 18-hole course was a vibrant tapestry of greens and colors. The kids were immediately drawn to the challenge of avoiding the vanilla vine obstacles and navigating Carolyn’s sneaky tunnels. The course, set on a grass field, was a refreshing change from the usual artificial turf, adding an authentic touch to our mini-golf adventure.

The ample seating around the course was a thoughtful addition, allowing us to take breaks and soak in the serene surroundings. It was a joy to watch my kids, putters in hand, giggling their way through each hole, their laughter echoing through the gardens. The course was not just a game; it was an experience, a journey through a tropical paradise.

Splashing into Serenity

After our mini-golf escapade, the promise of a refreshing dip in the Rentapau River was too tempting to resist. The crystal-clear waters were a perfect antidote to the tropical heat, and the gentle cascades added a touch of magic to our swim. Watching my kids splash around, their faces lit with joy, was a reminder of why I love what I do – creating moments of pure, unadulterated happiness for families.

The river was more than just a place to cool off; it was a playground in its own right. The kids explored the gentle currents, their imaginations running wild as they pretended to be explorers in a new world. It was a beautiful sight, one that I wished could last forever.

As we dried off, the surrounding gardens beckoned us for a leisurely stroll. Acres of lush greenery stretched out before us, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It was a moment of tranquility, a chance to connect with nature and each other.

A Day to Remember

Our adventure didn’t end with the river. The playground was a hit with the kids, who ran amok with boundless energy, their laughter mingling with the sounds of nature. The presence of friendly pigs, sheep, and lizards added an unexpected delight to our day, turning it into a mini safari of sorts.

Reflecting on our experience, I couldn’t help but agree with the sentiment of the review I had read – we should have spent the whole day here. The combination of mini-golf, river swimming, and playground fun made for a perfect family outing, one that I would recommend to any family looking for a day of adventure and bonding.

Eton’s 18 Hole Tropical Mini-Golf is more than just a game; it’s a celebration of family, nature, and the simple joys of life. It’s a place where memories are made, where laughter fills the air, and where the stresses of everyday life melt away. If you’re ever in the area, make sure to carve out a day for this delightful experience. You won’t regret it!
