'Pixar Putt' Pop-Up Swings Into Downtown — Time to Get Animated!

'Pixar Putt' Pop-Up Swings Into Downtown — Time to Get Animated!

TO INFINITY AND beyond! Whimsical family fun awaits at Discovery Green where, beginning Oct. 13, a cinematic putt-putt course inspired by all things Pixar pops up on the Sarofim Picnic Lawn.

The Pixar Putt interactive mini-golf course includes 18 holes depicting the stories and characters from movies like Cars, Toy Story, Wall-E, Monsters Inc. and more. The experience is a collaboration between Junto Entertainment and TEG Life Like Touring, and comes to Houston on the heels of a sold-out run in Washington D.C. It was last in Houston in 2021; since then, new features have been added, including ones inspired by recent hit flicks Inside Out 2, Elemental and Turning Red. Kids and adults alike will enjoy posing for pics with the house from Up, navigating the holes of Swiss cheese from Ratatouille, and scoring a hole-in-one on Buzz Lightyear.

It's open seven days a week through Jan. 20 (but will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day), and offers adults-only putt-putt on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings after 7pm. It is recommended to reserve a tee time by purchasing tickets online prior to arrival.

And with remaining two-bedroom homes starting at $895,000, it’s a remarkable value for this increasingly pricey area, where condos can easily climb to several million dollars and more.

Quick Getaway: Serene but Style-Forward W Punta De Mita Finds its Place in the Sun

The Camino Huichol over the Wet Deck

VERDANT, WINDING BRANCHES arch up and over a pathway as a soundtrack of herons and chachalacas (and the occasional monkey) plays overhead. Concrete rectangles artfully jut up through the green, painted in rays of sunlight. Eventually, the path leads down to the beach, where the streaks of sun create a cinematic moment: A slim, tan couple emerges from the ocean with their surfboards in hand and their dogs at their heels, the scent of the Pacific lingering in the thick, humid air.
