Pixar Putt Pop Up

Do you like mini golf? Are you a Pixar film fan? Then Pixar Putt is for you! Featuring 18 movie themed mini golf holes, you and your family, significant other, friends, and all ages, are in for a wild and fun time. It is located in Polk Brothers Park at Navy Pier in downtown Chicago.

Pixar Putt is one of the more enjoyable experiences I have had in quite a while. I am a huge Pixar fan, so this mini golf pop up was perfect for me. One of my guests brought her 5 year old son and he had a blast! Pixar Putt showcases all of the best Pixar films with creative set ups. Some of the best were Up (which had a turning crank with the balloons and house), Ratatouille, Brave, Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Cars, The Incredibles, Soul (with a piano key staircase), Coco and Inside Out.

Toy Story’s “The Claw”

When we arrived, we were all given colorful golf clubs according to our heights, matching golf balls and a score card. The front gate attendant was smiling, welcoming and helpful with answering all of our questions. All the staff was super kind to all the patrons. It was adorable that customers were greeted by buzz and woody giant figurines!

Each of the 18 holes was filled with laughs and excitement. I couldn’t tell who was having more fun – the adults or the 5 year old!

Ratatouille

We loved how creative each hole was with the movies they represented. Everything was very colorful and unique, while still challenging the player. One great option was that you could go in any order you wanted.

Soul

One customer feedback suggestion for improvement would be the overall design of some of the holes. At times, it was a bit confusing and difficult (for both kids and adults) to get the gold balls into the holes. One example was the hole for Coco. Although beautifully designed with his guitar, it was super frustrating to get the ball over the bridge and on the guitar strings. We all ended up hitting our balls onto the sidewalk behind the trailer.

Overall, everyone “had a ball” at Pixar Putt. I highly recommend this popup before it leaves Chicago!
