What Makes This Unique
When it comes to indoor play in Harford County, MD, Jurassic Golf and Arcade is one of our favorites. While we have several outdoor mini-golf options around the county, what Jurassic offers is something completely different.
From the moment you enter the course, you are immediately transported into a glowing, neon-lit prehistoric world where life-size dinosaurs tower above, black lights make everything pop, and stereo sound effects and CGI elements make each challenge feel like its own little adventure.
The 18-hole course takes you through four themed zones — the Dino Research Lab, the Stegosaurus Feeding Ground, the Underground Prehistoric Aquarium, and the T-Rex Stomping Ground. Each one is more immersive than the last. My daughter treats every single hole like a new discovery and honestly, I love it as well. This is not your average putt-putt. It is a full experience.
Once your round wraps up, the arcade is right there waiting. With over 20 new and classic games, many of which dispense tickets for redemption at their on-site prize counter, this adds to the fun.

As a busy mom, sometimes I just need a last-minute activity option without having to worry about purchasing tickets or making reservations in advance. Jurassic Golf offers just that - no reservations, no complicated ticketing, no stress. Just show up and play.
This is a go-to for those rainy days and can easily entertain a variety of ages. Recommended for ages 3+, the course itself is easy to navigate and doesn’t require many difficult challenges.

The course is approachable enough for younger golfers while still being entertaining for older kids, tweens, and even adults.
Another part I always enjoy about this is that it’s fun for the whole family. We love a little competition on the putt-putt course and the arcade games add even more fun.
