Kick some serious putt at Pixar Putt

A Disney Pixar-themed mini golf experience has popped-up in St Kilda and it’s loads of fun for all ages.

Melbourne’s newest miniature golf course is inspired by everyone’s favourite Disney Pixar’s films, including classics like Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, The Incredibles, A Bug’s Life, Wall-E, Up and Coco and more.

We were recently invited along to play the course and we had so much fun.

We’re a competitive bunch *fun times*, so we all play to win but I’m pleased to report that I scored not one BUT two hole-in-ones and took the victory!

Visitors can choose between playing a nine-hole round ($24.90 Adults, $19.90 Kids or $79.60 Families) or the full 18-hole course ($39.90 Adults, $29.90 Kids or $119.60 Families).

Where: St Kilda Triangle (next to Palais Theatre)
When: Daily until Sunday, March 31 2019

Tickets can be purchased at the course however, I recommend purchasing tickets online before you go.

Pretty Little Birthday Celebration

February 4 2015 By melbournemamma 2 Comments

We recently celebrated my daughter’s 7th birthday.

She wanted to do something “fun” and “creative” for her birthday, so we decided on a jewellery making party.

Originally I contemplated (for a nano second) running the party myself, but let’s face it – I have NO idea of what to do, so I decided it was best to look for someone who did. …
