When you’re looking for a fun outdoor activity that everyone will enjoy, mini golf is a great go-to. It’s the perfect way to spend time interacting with loved ones, and the extra putting practice might even lower your handicap on the links.

There’s a mini-golf course right here in Illinois that is much more than just a series of putting greens. This course has a Congo River theme, and you’re going to love it.
