Exploring Cool Crest Mini Golf in San Antonio's Deco District

The intrigue: The benefit of going to Cool Crest is that the Metzger Biergarten is on site. You can hang out, grab a pint and take one with you while you play putt putt.

• It's like mini golf for adults.

Plus, the biergarten often hosts food trucks and live music. You can plan your visit around events there.

• We're eyeing the BexarBrass show on Friday.

What we love: Beer, food and music aside, Cool Crest offers two fun mini golf courses in beautiful and historic surroundings.

• Cool Crest claims to be one of the oldest miniature golf courses in the country, with a 1929 and a 1959 course.
• The environment is full of tropical-inspired plants and art deco touches.

If you go: An adult ticket is $11. Admission for kids is $9.

The bottom line: All the benefits and history make this mini golf spot an extra fun time.

• You can't go wrong simply getting some pals together and reconnecting with your inner child for an afternoon.
