Space-themed Mini Golf in NYC

With two real ex-NASA rockets providing the background, Rocket Park Mini Golf subtly teaches that the same laws of motion and gravity that guide the path of a spaceship control the motion of golf balls here on Earth.

In a course designed by Lee H. Skolnick Architecture + Design Partnership, vibrant colors and graphics reminiscent of the 60s Space Age brings 'rocket science' down to Earth in "a way that would excite and delight people of all ages, even while they learned real physics!" said Lee H. Skolnick, FAIA and Principal of Lee H. Skolnick Architecture + Design Partnership.


"Rocket Park Mini Golf provides opportunities for families to encounter fundamental laws of physics in the nine-hole course," said Eric Siegel, the Hall's director and chief content officer.
