Ever wanted to feel like a giant stomping your way through NYC? You’ll get your chance in Brooklyn this summer. A new mini golf course in the courtyard of the Frying Pan’s Industry City location features miniature versions of Brooklyn landmarks scattered around the faux green—and yes, it's kid-friendly!
On the course, you'll get to make your way around Brooklyn icons such as the Williamsburg Savings Bank Tower, Coney Island’s Wonder Wheel, the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel and the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. The colorful set-up will seem like a playscape for tiny golfers, complete with a bright yellow-and-teal water tower and a blue area of the green representing the Gowanus Canal, complete with mini boats and pieces made from an old row boat found in the canal. Can your mini crew manage to sink all nine holes?

Find this cool course behind the Wheelhouse, the Frying Pan owner’s bar and restaurant that's housed in what used to be a tugboat, along with a ping-pong arena and food and drinks from the Frying Pan’s summer outdoor bar. Munch on lobster rolls, poké tacos and bahn mi or cool off after a heated game with a watermelon and arugula salad.
