Kansas Will Soon Be Breaking Ground On A Fun And Educational Mini Golf Course

Those looking for fun things to do with kids in Kansas will be pleased to know that come spring 2024, we'll have a great new mini golf course in Andover, Kansas. Mega Pines Mini Golf is set to open next year on Highway 54 near Andover. This isn't your average putt putt experience: the owners say it will mix fun and education, and there will even be short-term vacation rentals, food trucks, yard games, and more on-site. This looks like such a unique activity that's fun for the whole family! Check out some of the plans:

Kelli and Todd Miller are locals with more than 50 years of experience in the Kansas public school systems, and they already own The Strike Zone in Rose Hill.

This seasonal fun zone features batting cages and shaved ice. You can learn more at The Strike Zone Facebook page.

The family's next venture will be located in Andover, a Wichita suburb with a population of about 15,000.

The Millers have actually already gotten their start with a portable version of Mega Pines Mini Golf that they debuted in early 2023.

The holes are available for rent for parties and events.

The permanent installation of Mega Pines Mini Golf will be set on 14 acres in Andover.

There will be three miniature golf courses designed for older kids, plus fun yard games for younger kids. Food trucks will be on hand regularly, and the Millers would even like to have a few vacation rental homes on the property.

The first 18-hole course will feature educational exhibits about America's national parks.

Kids (and adults) will be able to see sculptures of animals that live in places like Yellowstone National Park (pictured), and learn important statistics about the natural world around them.Other courses are set to include information about U.S. history and the state of Kansas.

The Millers have experience with implementing educational (and fun) STEM material into miniature golf. It's such a great way for kids to learn!

Mega Pines Mini Golf is set to open in spring 2024 in Andover, KS. You can follow updates about this upcoming attraction in Kansas on the Mega Pines Mini Golf website or Mega Pines Mini Golf Facebook page.
