'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.
