Don't Just Eat Sweets This Easter, Putt Past Them: Candy-Themed Mini Golf Is Back at Victoria Park for 2025
Easter egg, ice cream, cake, gumball and popcorn-themed holes await — and you can order drinks and snacks to the green as you play.
Sweet news: if nothing says Easter to you like tap, tap, tapping your way around a mini-golf course that'll get you hankering for dessert, Victoria Park's Candyland setup is returning. The Herston site has been known to give its greens a makeover for special occasions, including Christmas, Halloween and Valentine's Day in the past. Candy-themed holes aren't new to the rotation, but they're back in 2025, taking cues from Easter eggs, ice creams, cakes, gumballs and popcorn and more.
From Friday, March 28–Monday, May 5, a trip to Herston Road means trying your luck on greens with names like 'Candy Corner', 'Ice Cream Lane', 'Bakery Bunker, 'Popcorn Party', 'Gumball Green', 'Bunny Hop' and 'Candy Workshop'. In previous years, rabbits have featured heavily, unsurprisingly — plus giant ice creams, gummy bears, candy necklaces, Easter eggs, cupcakes, doughnuts, lollipops and other sweet treats.
Basically, if it's sweet and can somehow be worked into a themed mini golf course, you'll find it here. While there's obviously nothing edible among the decorations, you can order drinks and snacks to the green as you play, including lollies and ice creams.
Bookings are recommended, with the course open from 6am–11pm Monday–Thursday, and 6am–12am Friday–Saturday and 6am–10am Sunday. Fancy a few holes before work? Want to add some fun to your lunch break? Need something to look forward to come quitting time? They're all options.
Candyland's run covers not just the Easter public holidays, but the ANZAC Day and Labour Day long weekends, should you need a few days off as motivation to head by.
Expect company, because Brisbane sure does love themed mini golf courses — as seen at the city's Holey Moley sites in Fortitude Valley, the Wintergarden, Chermside and Mt Gravatt; Redcliffe's underwater-themed spot; Hey Caddy in North Lakes and South Bank; and Tingalpa's 16-hole jungle-themed green.
Candyland Putt Putt takes over the Victoria Park Putt Putt Course at 309 Herston Road, Herston from Friday, March 28–Monday, May 5, open 6am–11pm Monday–Thursday, and 6am–12am Friday–Saturday and 6am–10am Sunday — with tickets costing $23 for adults.
