You must check out Smash Putt this weekend! Take a break from the family and the turkey-induced coma (or better yet, bring the family!) to this crazy indoor putt putt experience. Smash Putt is 18 holes of putt putt fun with gadgets, moving parts, catapults, drill presses, and mopeds and was some of the best fun I’ve had in long time.

Catapult in Action!

Brought to you by the good folks at the Hazard Factory, Smash Putt is housed in the purple brick warehouse at 912 12th Avenue between Spring and Marion Streets. Check it out soon though because November 27, 28 and 29th  are the LAST DAYS of Smash Putt. They recommend buying advance tickets so check out their website , get tickets, and go score a hole in one!
