One of the easiest ways to keep your kids active and entertained is a night at a mini-golf course. If you’re staying at one of the local Orlando hotels, you can find an incredibly designed mini golf course within a short drive from your hotel or resort. One of the most popular mini golf courses in Orlando is the Congo River mini golf. The challenging putting greens are just one aspect of the elaborate course layout at Congo River Golf. Other highlights include the unique Congo River Mining experience, where you and your family can dig through gemstones, fossils, and arrowheads buried in the dirt. Your kids will love watching the dirt wash away to reveal gems and stones. Congo River also has an arcade with the latest video games, air hockey, live gators, and other entrainment.
