Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf at Cabot Circus in Bristol has closed
The indoor Jungle Rumble Adventure Golf centre at Cabot Circus in Bristol has closed.
We first visited the two courses - the 'Jungle' and the 'Secret Swamp' - back in February 2010 when were in the city to compete in the BMGA English Open minigolf competition at the then new 36-hole two-course. They were the 207th and 208th courses visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Ghostbusting in Urmston
I saw an Ecto-1a car and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in Urmston, Greater Manchester two years ago today!

Zingers Adventure Golf in Portsmouth
A new indoor adventure golf course is opening in Portsmouth, Hampshire.
Many thanks to our friend Dave Ronchetti for letting us know about Zingers Adventure Golf in Portsmouth. The new 9-hole UV glow-in-the-dark indoor minigolf course is opening at The Bridge Shopping Centre in Fratton, Portsmouth on the 28th August.
Check out the Zingers Adventure Golf website for more information.
Shopping centre minigolf
Zingers Adventure Golf is the latest miniature golf course to open in a shopping centre. Overall the game is booming and lots of former retail space is now being used as entertainment space, with minigolf, crazy golf and adventure golf a popular choice.
Minigolfing in Portsmouth and Southsea
Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour began down in Southsea back in 2006 when we played the Treasure Island Adventure Golf course on the seafront. Dave still lives locally and has tipped us off about a few other courses he's seen and heard about over the years.
We're looking forward to our next trip down to Portsmouth and Southsea.

Puttshack Mini Golf at Lakeside in Essex
A look at the Puttshack indoor miniature golf venue at Lakeside shopping centre in Grays, Essex.
A big minigolf thank you to my friend and minigolf rival Simon Brown for sending me some photos from his visit to play Puttshack Mini Golf at Lakeside shopping centre last weekend.
Puttshack Lakeside is home to four 9-hole mini golf courses.
Visit the Puttshack website for more information, opening times and prices.
We're yet to visit the new Puttshack venue at Lakeside, but played the Westfield shopping centre location on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour in October 2019. The course at White City was the 529th course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour. We also swung by the, then still under construction, Puttshack super-tech mini golf venue at Bank during that same trip to the capital.

Nu Game Arcade in Southampton
It was a nice surprise to find the Nu Game Arcade in Southampton last month. It was also brilliant that we happened to be the first customers on the opening day too!
We spotted the sign for the Nu Game Arcade on the first floor as we were leaving the Marlands shopping centre. We're glad we did as it's been a while since I've played at an arcade.
It was brilliant to have a go on two of my favourite games - Metal Slug on the Neo Geo MVS and Robocop.
Check out the Nu Game Arcade Facebook Page for more information.
