You can also play on indoor baseball batting cages and a curling rink at the competitive socialising venue.

New UV Crazy Golf course opening in Hull
A new glow-in-the-dark Crazy Golf course is opening in Hull.
Hull will soon be home to a new UV Crazy Golf course as the team from the East Park Pirate Golf course are opening a venue at the Princes Quay shopping centre in the city.
Visit the East Park Pirate Golf Facebook page for more information.
Minigolf in Hull
There has been a real boom in minigolf courses opening in Hull, with the East Park Pirate Golf course joining Putt Club and the Pirate Adventure Golf course at One Stop Golf. The city will also be home to a new Lost City Adventure Golf venue soon.
Retailtainment
Minigolf has grown in popularity in the last eight years and has moved from being seen as a traditional outdoor seaside summer activity to become a year-round game that can be played indoors, outdoors and at pretty much any time of the day.
A number of high streets, retail parks and shopping malls are now home to minigolf courses, with more new venues planned to open.
Businesses also use portable and temporary pop-up minigolf layouts to boost footfall, create awareness, product launches and promotions.
Our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour
Hull has been on our to visit list for a few years now. It'll be a busy trip with all of the new courses to play when we eventually get there!

Minigolf in Castleford
A return visit to Castleford.
On our way home from a weekend away in Doncaster we made a stop at the entertainment, leisure and retail area at Junction 32 of the M62 as it's a real minigolf hotbed.
There are six miniature golf courses with a total of 87-holes to play in a very small area!
Xplore at the Xscape Centre is home to two indoor Cosmic Golf glow-in-the-dark courses. One is a 6-hole layout called the Search for Atlantis. The other is the Curse of the Mummy in 3D (or 4D depending on which sign you read). The 3D course is a 9-hole layout and one where you need to wear 3D glasses to enjoy the full effects.

| Search for Atlantis Cosmic Golf at Xplore in Xscape Yorkshire |
These two Xplore courses were the 199th and 200th visited on our travels back in 2010. We've now been to 945 courses!

When we last visited Castleford these courses were known as Pirate Island Adventure Golf.
The six courses in Castleford were some of the 20 minigolf layouts we went to in the first 20 days of 2020.
Once you arrive at Junction 32 in Castleford you don't require any further transport to get to any of the courses there. It has the most minigolf courses of any inland place in the UK.
Of the places we've visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour Skegness is the town with the most minigolf courses in the UK. Skeggy has 120-holes spread across ten seafront courses.
