So I'm googling "miniature golf" near my town for a fun activity for the kids

[Orrex]

The first three results are for places more than 150 miles from here, the fourth result is for a place that burned to the ground in 2006, and the next four results are for country clubs.

Thanks a lot, internets!

1. Try a search for "putt-putt"

A lot of the ones near me growing up have rebranded themselves as putt-putt courses in order to divorce themselves from the traditional image of the shoddy-build wooden windmill that steals your ball.

2. Who are you blaming...

...for your own lack of imagination? The collective failure of the capitalist system to provide you with cheap, mindless entertainment (at the end of the street) or the triumph of democratically instituted zoning laws that keep trashy, unproductive entertainment venues, out of the community?

Or are you just tossing up these cookies because you're bored?

4. LOL!

3. There is not enough profit in miniture golf anymore .

You could go to a full size golf course and get small like most of the golfers there.

5. Fun Zones ?

6. Try finding a drive-in.

You could always go bowling or hang out at the soda shoppe.

9. Why not if they have little houses with holes in the floor.

Windmills, animals faces you putt into ... balls fall out their ass.
