Winter is in full swing — and, if you like celebrating frostier weather, adorable animation and mini golf all at once, the part-tee is just about to begin at Northshore. Everyone's favourite Pixar characters are popping up in Brisbane at a putt putt course inspired by the Disney-owned studio's loveable films. Yes, Pixar Putt is returning, with the kidult-friendly course heading to Hamilton, right next to Eat Street Northshore, from Friday, June 17–Sunday, July 24. Designed to challenge both eight-year olds and adults, Pixar Putt features nine- and 18-hole courses that take you past childhood heroes like Buzz Lightyear, Sheriff Woody and Elastigirl. Flicks such as Coco, Monsters Inc, Onward, Luca, Finding Nemo, Up, Ratatouille, A Bug's Life, Wall-E, Inside Out and Soul all get some putting love, too. Clearly, there's no need for a trip to Disneyland — and this year's course features new holes inspired by Pixar's recent Turning Red and upcoming Lightyear. So, if you didn't beat your cousin at backyard cricket over the summer, challenge them to a rematch here. All you need is your hat and A-game (and no pressure if you remain defeated, there's always the nineteenth hole nearby). Dates and times vary, running daily during school holidays — so, from Friday, June 24–Sunday, July 10 — but only from Friday–Sunday otherwise. Pixar Putt is also open for after-dark sessions every Thursday–Sunday night — and they're only for adults. Operating from 7–10pm Thursday–Saturday and 7pm–9pm on Sundays, the late-night putt-putt hours are perfect for those date nights when you want to do more than just have dinner and see a movie. If you're keen to get tap, tap, tapping during daylight hours — and likely with littlies for company — Pixar Putt opens at 10am.
