essex family fun & entertainment center

We played mini golf and the course was fun for the girls. The landscape is lovely; butterflies were visiting the flowers in bloom. The backdrop of MT Mansfield makes the event even more enjoyable. Some of the greens could be replaced, as they are becoming worn, and the cups often do not lay flat to the ground making putting impossible. This is frustating to a real golfer, when you have a great line, but the cup is tilted and rejects the ball. Just have to keep in mind that it's family entertainment..

We spent more than three hours here recently playing minigolf, hitting (and missing) balls on the driving range, and trying our hand at the baseball and softball batting cages. The prices were reasonable and the set-up very user-friendly. Nice staff, lovely surroundings, convenient location right off the highway. Unlike the usual tacky mini-golf decorations, the landscaping for this course (18 holes) had tasteful waterfalls, trees, and clever holes (including two through a full-size cave). My children had a blast. There is a small concession stand for ice-cream bars, soda, and candy.
