- Mini Golf at Glowing Greens
Kate / Flickr Mini golf was all the rage in the 80s, and thanks to Glowing Greens, you can combine the trend with another 80s favorite: black lights. Putt a round of golf on this trippy glowing golf course, or head over to Oaks Park to putt on a more traditional outdoor one. Glowing Greens is located at 509 SW Taylor Street.
