Dinosaur Safari Adventure Golf

An 18-hole adventure golf course where dinosaurs lurk around every corner - proper daft fun, the kind that gets families arguing over who's winning. You're putting through a prehistoric landscape complete with roaring animatronics, caves, and all the trappings of a lost world, which sounds cheesy until you're actually there trying to sink a putt while a T-Rex snaps at your ankles.

It's the sort of place that works best with kids aged five to twelve, though teenagers might find it a bit much after the first few holes. Adults can appreciate the course design if they're not too serious about their golf handicap. The whole thing takes about ninety minutes depending on how many putts you need and whether you stop to take photos with the dinosaur statues.

Elstree's just minutes away, so it slots neatly into a Hertfordshire holiday if you've got a caravan at The Mimms nearby - only 2.2 miles - and need a rainy afternoon option. Cherry Green Trees and Marshmoor Crescent Park are also within striking distance if you want to combine it with other local attractions.

Admission costs vary depending on the day and time you visit, so ring ahead before you book. During peak season it gets rammed with school groups, so aim for a weekday morning if possible. Not life-changing, but it does what it says on the tin: keeps everyone occupied and guarantees at least one hole-in-one moment worth cheering about.
