a trip to the "lost mine" mini golf & mountain coaster

Our now-six-year-old is absolutely in love with mini-golf so we usually try to find a course to play wherever we go and our trips to Pigeon Forge are no exception.  I found the newly opened Lost Mine Mini-Golf & Mountain Coaster online and knew it looked like just the place to include on our Spring Break Itinerary!

We cannot possibly recommend this place highly enough.  The mini golf course is great with a whimsical bear-and-possum-and-honey theme throughout; our six year old could not stop laughing at the statues and their antics throughout the course.  Hole number 9 was by far our favorite; {spoiler alert} never have I ever hit a golf ball into the water on purpose, but what a fantastic gimmick!  They also have a putting green at the beginning which is perfect for group photos, actual putting practice or killing time if there are groups in front of you.
​

Their mountain coaster is INCREDIBLE!  We loved it so much we rode it during the day and then came back and rode it at night as well; (there is a great bundle deal if you do this so we highly recommend that, see below for details.) The track itself is 5,440 feet long, and takes 9ish minutes to enjoy (depending on how fast you choose to go!) There are both beautiful natural scenery and clever attractions to enjoy as you whiz by, and this coaster features new technology that allows the ride to be not only safer but more enjoyable.  We also loved the point of view camera mounted on each vehicle and opted to buy the photo/video package. 

We also can’t say enough about the incredible staff - everyone we met was kind, knowledgeable and accommodating in every way; truly the finest of southern hospitality.
