Mako Mikes has great service. When we went there they put us in a very big private room, great for large parties. Mako Mikes has a shark aquarium and a gift shop. It has an underwater theme. The food is seafood but, there is a lot on the menu.

Lost Treasure Golf

Attraction

Quote:

A great mini golf course with two 18 hole courses. Filled with displays off expedition and a wild west theme. Caves and ancient ruins, and waterfalls. When you go if you get a hole in one on the mystery hole you win a free round of golf. At the beginning, to get to the top to hole number one, you ride a train to the top.
