Voted as the best mini-golf venue in Minnesota in the 2023 Family Favorites survey, Can Can Wonderland is an over-the-top destination featuring indoor mini-golf, vintage pinball, and over 100 arcade games. At over 35,000 square feet, Can-Can Wonderlands’ arts-driven mini golf course is the centerpiece. When they were dreaming up Can-Can’s mini-golf course, the developers asked over 200 people around the world, “What mini-golf hole have you always wanted to play?” With those submissions, they built the 18-hole course that exists today. From a State Fair-themed hole to Grandma’s living room, each hole has a different unique, and quirky theme.
