About
The mini golf and arcade combination at The Track in Destin sits within one of the area's most concentrated family entertainment complexes. Located at 1125 US-98 East, The Track offers a bundle of activities across adjacent areas — mini golf, Fat Daddy's Arcade, Thrill Zone go-karts, and the free Gator Beach alligator attraction — making it a go-to destination for families who want multiple activities without moving their car.
The mini golf course is well-maintained and creative enough to keep both young kids and adults engaged throughout 18 holes. Outdoor in setting, it benefits from the Destin sunshine but requires sunscreen. The course's obstacle designs are appropriately challenging for kids without being frustrating, and competitive families will find it genuinely fun to keep score.
The Fat Daddy's Arcade component adds an indoor element that works as a rain shelter or cool-down break during hot afternoons. Classic and modern games with ticket redemption give kids a goal to work toward throughout the visit.
The most important logistical note: The Track complex closes at 5PM every day, earlier than most comparable entertainment areas. Families who arrive late in the afternoon often don't realize this until they're already on-site. Plan to arrive by noon or 1PM to allow time for multiple attractions.
