★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Went in after some fun in top golf. I believe they open at 12 so it was basically empty when we decided to visit.Parked my EV and left it charging. Slow charge but who cares it was free.As soon as you go in it looks pretty cool and then you see the scale of it. It's pretty big place with really high ceilings.Pretty cool ambiance and very nicely decorated. I would love to see it when it's busy on a Friday or Saturday.We tried the bowling which I really felt was premium. Long big screens decorate both sides and the music playing is very nice vibe.From just walking in and trying it I was impressed and will dedicate a day doing it all in here.I have to try to mini golf and eating something. Will definitely be back again.
October 21 · Miguel SilvaHad a very good time at Albatross this past Friday night for my Godson’s 21st birthday. We sat at the bar first and had a few drinks and some food. Beautiful looking bar which definitely stood out right in the center of the building. I had a very good margarita and a delicious espresso martini. We also enjoyed the pizza and I had the Wagyu Beef Sliders.Didn’t get a chance to bowl since it was booked up for the night, but we did play both courses of mini golf. They were a lot of fun. Expensive for mini golf especially since it was only 9 holes but still was a fun experience and great to have the computer tally up the scores for you.All in all, a very good time. We also had a very good golf assistant who really helped out a lot and was able to show us how to play and use the computers. Thanks again for all the help.
September 07 · Eric StankovitzI loved this place! They stated they recently opened to the public about 2 1/2 months ago. This place is huge with so much to do. It's a gorgeous facility and the staff were pleasant. We went bowling it was $55 for 2 people. We didn't order anything to eat since we ate at another place prior. I had some mocktails and my partner had a cocktail. All the drinks were tasty and reasonably priced. If you're a content creator and love a place for pictures this spot would be perfect. Definitely will be going back.
August 29 · winter roseSaw this spot on instagram and since my husband and I love mini golf decided to give this place a try. We were here around noon on a Friday so it was pretty empty (which was perfect). We paid for the back 9 for mini golf at the self serve kiosk but then had to wait a bit for someone at the guest services desk to help us with a voucher for mini golf.Staff at the back 9 was great and he showed us how to use the touch screens and play our turns. Not really sure I like how the score you by time, no swings, but that’s whatever. Holes were really fun and different.The price for this place is obviously a bit high ($44 for 2 people for 9 holes!?) and we didn’t get any food or drink or anything but overall it was fun. I could see this place getting crowded quickly though.
October 17 · Antonia TaggartOn the pricier side of bowling and mini golf but still a great experience for everyone. The mini golf side is unique and immersive and the bowling lanes are spacious and fancy. It’s a beautiful space with great music, huge bar, and friendly staff. I was greeted by Jules who guided me from the beginning. So helpful!! Jay was our server while we were bowling and she was excellent. The drinks are delicious and have to compliment Sav for holding down the bar. The food is average, I hope with time they can improve the quality and temperature. I will definitely return. I’ve had no issues the few times I’ve been there.
