Boston — A Pop-Up Mini Golf Tour Lands at Faneuil Hall This Fall
Big putts, big fun, and two big birthdays.
Boston is getting a fresh, oversized playground for short-game lovers this September. A traveling mini golf attraction called Putt Across America is opening a pop-up course at Faneuil Hall Marketplace on September 13, 2025. The timing is more than coincidence: the event lines up with the 250th anniversary of the United States and the 200th anniversary of Faneuil Hall, setting a historic stage for a very modern putt experience.
The course in a nutshell
Designed for all ages and aimed at fun first, the attraction offers 18 larger-than-life holes inspired by iconic American places. Players will take putts that mimic landscapes and landmarks from Niagara Falls to the Las Vegas Strip, from New York to Seattle, and from Hollywood to Hawaii. The course blends classic miniature golf whimsy with a road-trip feel, so each hole reads like a postcard stop on an American tour.
For golf enthusiasts, there’s more here than just novelty targets. Course design uses playable features that reward line reading and stroke control — slopes, staged hazards, and imaginative contours that invite a careful approach shot and a confident putt. Hole themes include state trivia and fun facts tied to each location, so every par attempt comes with a little local flavor. Bonus elements include limited-edition merchandise, photo ops, and enrichment activities that add context to each hole.
Where and when
The pop-up will sit at Faneuil Hall Marketplace (4 S Market St, Boston, MA 02109), right along the Freedom Trail — a fitting backdrop given the anniversary celebrations. Daily tee times are scheduled from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., with the venue staying open until 10 p.m. so late-evening putters can finish under lights.
Tickets and pricing
Tickets for the Boston run are on sale now through January 4, 2026 at the event website. General admission pricing starts at $25 for adults and $22.50 for children. Discount options include:
- Friends and Family pricing for groups of 4–9 at $21.50 per person.
- 20% military discount available upon request.
- Special offers for groups of 10+ and birthday packages starting at $550.
- Private event rentals available for clubs, companies, and parties.
Background and track record
The concept comes from a company founded in 2023 that builds immersive experiences across the U.S. The tour previously debuted in Washington, D.C. at The Wharf and earned strong local buzz, being highlighted by multiple outlets as a top thing to do in the area. The Boston stop is presented in a way that ties in with both national and local history, so the course reads as both a celebration and an attraction.
Who should play?
Any golfer who loves creativity in course design — from weekend amateurs who enjoy reading greens to families looking for a playful outing — will find something to like. The layout is intentionally accessible for children while still offering enough nuance to keep adults engaged. The state-themed trivia and photo opportunities make it a social experience as much as a short-game test.
Extras and logistics
The event includes bonus enrichment like small exhibits tied to each hole, limited-run merch items, and plenty of Instagram-ready moments. Being sited at Faneuil Hall Marketplace means visitors can easily pair a round with dining and shopping in the historic district. Tickets are available at PuttAcrossAmerica.com/Boston and the course runs through early January, so there’s plenty of time to plan a visit or organize a group outing.
