SkipARRR’S Pirate Putt

Kids over the age of 8 can enter by themselves.  If your little adventurer is between 3 and 7, they’ll need to be with someone 12 or older.  For kids under 3, an adult must accompany them for all the fun!

No worries! We offer a reduced-price ticket for non-golfers, so you can still enjoy the fun with your family without having to play.

Yes. SkipARRR’s Pirate Putt is a fully indoor miniature golf attraction located on Clifton Hill. It’s a great option for rainy days, cooler weather, or escaping the summer heat. Many guests enjoy the air-conditioned indoor environment on hot Niagara Falls days while still experiencing family friendly fun

Most guests spend approximately 40 minutes enjoying SkipARRR’s Pirate Putt, though the length of play can vary depending on group size and how busy the attraction is. Larger groups may move at a slower pace, and during peak times it’s not uncommon for a full round of 18 holes to take up to an hour.

SkipARRR is the bright green pirate parrot who keeps watch over SkipARRR’s Pirate Putt on Clifton Hill. With one peg leg, an eye patch, and absolutely no indoor voice, SkipARRR considers himself both a legendary pirate and the official protector of mini golf glory.

He’s known for encouraging questionable levels of family competition, celebrating hole in ones like major sporting events, and believing every lost golf ball is technically buried treasure.

Legally, we cannot confirm this.

But he does seem extremely confident giving pirate themed life advice to complete strangers.

The massive floating granite sphere outside SkipARRR’s Pirate Putt is known as a Kugel, the German word for “ball.” Installed on Clifton Hill in 2001, the rare attraction was originally part of the Guinness World of Records Museum and is believed to be the world’s largest floating granite ball. Quarried in Finland, the granite sphere weighs approximately 5 tons, while the platform beneath it weighs another 5 tons. Despite its enormous size, the ball appears to float and spin on a thin layer of pressurized water thanks to a specially engineered socket carved to the exact curvature of the sphere. Guests visiting SkipARRR’s can stop by the front entrance to see it in action and even gently rotate the massive granite ball with their hands.
