Great fun for families, but half-term queues and tiny-kid crowds can fray the nerves.
The long read worth saving for nap time
What’s it actually like?
Caddies Crawley is an indoor mini golf venue with extra activities, including Amazeballs and a light-up ball pit. Reviewers describe it as bright, welcoming and more spacious than comparable venues, with an 18-hole course that feels interactive rather than just a basic putt-putt round. For children, it sounds like a proper win: the ball pit is repeatedly singled out as a highlight, and the course is praised for being creative and entertaining for both adults and kids. Families also liked the easy booking, friendly staff, and the fact that it works well for birthday parties and school-holiday outings. The catch is that it can get busy, especially in half term. One family found queues backed up for 10-15 minutes, and older children were bored waiting their turn. The ball pit can also be packed with younger children, so it may be less relaxing if you go at peak times or with teens who want a quicker pace.
