Mini Golf, Go Karts, More

Boomers Go-Karts, Bumper Boats, Mini Golf, Batting Cages and More

Brooke Jill at Boomers Go Carts Houston
Address:  17190 State Hwy 249, Houston, TX 77064

When I was a kid, I lived in a small town and we didn’t have a zoo or museum or the venues we visit daily in Houston. What we did have was a complex with go-karts, bumper boats, batting cages and mini golf.

I went to dozens of birthday parties here and played lots of mini golf and drove lots of bumper boats… but my own kids had never done these things!

So, when my son wanted to do something brand new for his birthday, I was excited to stumble upon Boomers!

Driving Go Cart at Boomers Houston
Boomers (formerly Mountasia) is right next to Willowbrook Mall. It has an arcade, batting cases, go-karts, bumping boats and mini golf course.

Parking is free in the lot and the inside is nice and air conditioned. Outside is nice and hot (in July)… but surprisingly well shaded at the mini golf course. My kids are native (heat loving) Houstonians, and we were celebrating a big birthday, so a little heat wasn’t going to deter us!

Boomers Houston Bumper Boats
For the go karts, you need to be 54″ to drive or 40″ to be a passenger… so I had all passengers. This is a little tricky with 3 kids and 1 mom… but fortunately I had grandpa on the birthday outing, so we could take turns driving and watching the kids.

For the bumper boats, you need to be 44″ to drive or 40″ to be a passenger. These were closed the day we visited… which was too bad… because bumper boats used to be my all time favorite.

We spent most of our time on the mini golf course. It turns out that my oldest is really quite good at putting. And it turns out that the rest of us are quite bad.

Boomers MiniGolf Houston
The younger kids play golf a lot like hockey… pushing the ball to the hole. And then the youngest would dive on it like a fumbled football and throw it into the hole.

Fortunately we had some space to ourselves on the course… and could continue this style for 18 holes.

Boomers Houston Mini Golf Course Bridges
The course is quite nice, with a waterfall, tunnel and bridges. The trees kept us shaded and the heat was bearable as we played our version of golf.

I will say that taking 3 kids can get expensive, so we will probably save this for special occasions. (Golf is $10 or free for kids under 5, Go Karts are $8, Boats are $8 and Batting Cages are $3/25 pitches.) There are combo deals available… but big families can be expensive!

That said, the kids had a great time and I was happy I could impress them with something brand new!

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
