The Witching Hour is an indoor, spooky-themed mini golf course with two Wellington locations: one in the CBD and one at Brewtown, Unit 30/23 Blenheim Street in Maidstone, Upper Hutt. The website calls it Wellington's only dedicated spooky-themed indoor mini golf attraction. The holes move through eerie graveyards, glowing forests and haunted ruins, with glowing tombstones, fog effects, spooky sounds and themed props. The course is open to families, tourists, date nights, birthday parties, corporate groups and team building. The Upper Hutt site has a bar, and one reviewer spent over an hour there before their round.
Customers praise the atmosphere, the lighting and the props, and say the course is well laid out. The staff are described as friendly and welcoming, and one reviewer says the venue is fully accessible. One warns that there are a few jump scares. The website says the Upper Hutt course is a good rainy-day option for families. Our pick in Upper Hutt for a spooky round with a drink at the bar.
