I’ve visited PAR 3 multiple times at Newport on the Levee, and it’s always a great time with family and friends.
Their unique indoor mini golf is such a fun adventure, perfect for a date night, with friends, family, as a multi-generational outing, or to celebrate a special occasion.
I’m sharing more about what to know before you plan your next indoor mini golf adventure.
This article is written in partnership with PAR 3. All opinions are my own.
Choose an Interactive Mini Golf Course
PAR3 has 27 unique, custom holes on its upscale indoor mini golf course.
I’ve played all 3 of their custom 9-hole courses, and it’s honestly hard to pick a favorite course because each hole is so creative and uniquely challenging.
That isn’t by accident.
Each course is designed to include numerous fun surprises and WOW moments along the way.
Guests can opt for a 9-hole or unlimited play experience.
After you play 9 holes, there is a REALLY good chance that you’ll want to try one of the other courses.
Digital Scoring at PAR 3
No one has to hold onto a pencil and scorecard thanks to their digital scoring system, which makes keeping score easier to track.
Guests are allowed to bring drinks on the course.
There’s an area to place your drinks or purse at each station under the digital screen.
Kids are allowed to play the course, but any children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
A 9-hole game typically takes around 30-45 minutes to play, depending on your group size and whether it’s midweek or the weekend.
How Much Are Tickets for PAR 3?
Single-game tickets are $11, and unlimited play tickets are $17.
Perks of a PAR 3 Putt Membership
If you want to play a few times a month, the PAR 3 Putt Membership is a great value.
Monthly memberships are available for All Week ($35 per month) and Weekday Only ($25 per month).

Guests can save on their tickets at PAR 3 throughout the week with the following specials.

Fun Photo Ops at PAR 3
There are numerous Instagrammable photo opportunities built into the indoor mini golf course experience.
For example, you can be a part of the landscape for “Putt Hunt.”
…Or you may want to sit on a golden throne of the toilet-themed hole, complete with a flushing sound.
Don’t forget to take a group shot at the special photo area by the neon “Go Putt Wild” sign on the wall. Afterward, you can have the image texted or emailed to you.
Enjoy the Cincinnati Skyline Views While You Dine at PAR 3
The balcony of the PAR 3 restaurant offers one of the best views of the Cincinnati skyline along the Ohio Riverfront.
Guests can dine on the outdoor patio or enjoy the views indoors from the wall of windows.
On beautiful days, they open the large garage door for an indoor/outdoor experience and unobstructed views.
The skyline is even more magical if you happen to visit during sunset.
Menu Recommendations at PAR 3
Sometimes the food doesn’t match the entertainment at attractions, but that isn’t the case at PAR 3. Their food is also equally creative and delicious.
Here are a few of my recommendations for your visit.
The Giant Pretzel is great for sharing and is brushed with garlic oil, sprinkled with kosher salt, and served with spicy brown mustard and their house queso.
It’s the perfect fusion of crisp on the outside and soft in the middle.
Their Wisconsin Garlic Cheese Curds are lightly breaded and fried to perfection and served with marinara sauce.
Rest assured, you won’t be hungry after any of the entrees. The portions are generous without compromising on taste, with options that appeal to everyone. In fact, everyone in our group was very pleased with their menu selection.
The Candied Bleu Bacon is made with a 1/2 lb beef patty, Maytag bleu cheese crumbles, candied bacon, caramelized onions, and fairway greens served on naan bread with a side of fries.
The Orange Chicken Crunch is a crunchy chicken breast tossed in specialty orange sauce, gruyere cheese, and creamy house slaw. It’s served on a sesame seed tuxedo bun with a side of fries.
The Ace is made with a 1/2 lb beef patty, gruyere cheese, lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions, and their signature bunker sauce, served on a sesame seed tuxedo bun.
The Sweet Jalapeno burger is made with a 1/2 pound beef patty, sharp cheddar cheese, onion bacon jam, candied jalapenos, arugula, and a smoked paprika aioli, served with fries.
The tacos at PAR 3 are also a very generous portion size, so be prepared.
The Shrimp Taco is made with tempura shrimp, fries, Asian slaw, orange sauce, pineapple salsa, and guacamole, served with chips and salsa.
The Fish Taco is made with lightly blackened white fish served with cubed fried potatoes, arugula, shredded cabbage, apple sticks, julienne radishes, salsa, and sriracha aioli, served with chips and salsa.
I’ve also previously tried The Hot Shot flatbread made with marinara, pepperoni, peppadew peppers, mozzarella-provolone blend, topped with hot honey.
The P3 Caesar is another great option if you prefer one of their salad options.
If your group is feeling extra adventurous, platters are available that serve 8 to 12 people.
Cocktails and Mocktails at PAR 3
PAR 3 offers a variety of cocktails and mocktails to choose from, ranging in flavor profiles.
The Blazing Blossom is a cocktail with a dramatic entrance that you’ll want to have your camera ready for.
The steel wool at the base of the drink is ignited by their staff, creating a twinkling and magical moment. It’s made with Mashio Prosecco and Smirnoff Whipped Hibiscus Flower.
If you prefer a sweeter drink, “Candy Crush” checks the boxes, made with Vodka, watermelon Schnapps, a splash of Cranberry, and topped with Sprite.
The “Bear Hug” is available as a cocktail or mocktail, made with/without Captain Apple, Lemon juice, orange juice, and honey.
The “Dulce Noche” is also available as a cocktail or a mocktail. It’s made with/without Bacardi and Horchata.
