Duffers Ice Cream and Mini Golf
Miniature golf and ice cream go hand in hand for some reason. If you go and play mini golf, you just want ice cream after. It has always been a great past time for us as a family. The kids and grand kids just love it. So while visiting Wildwood recently, we were drawn to this place, Duffers, and decided to give it a try. While not wanting to be negative right out of the gate, I also want to be honest, so that you will know what to expect if you decide to try. If I were rating this place with a star rating, with 1 being my least favorite place to 5 being one of my favorites, I would have to give this place a rating of 2. First things first, the food. Being a food blogger, that is top priority. The food is not very good and it is pricey. We ordered the kids mac and cheese and you could tell it was a very commercial mac and cheese by the way it looked AND tasted. We also ordered the freedom fries, which are described as crispy fries covered with melted jack and cheddar cheeses and crispy bacon with ranch dressing for dipping. First, one of my pet peeves is to get a sauce for dipping, and there is no where near enough. If you give me a giant plate of fries, one tiny cup of dressing is not nearly going to be enough! So of course, that is what I was given with my large plate of fries. There were plenty of fries, actually too much, and one little cup of ranch. Also, not nearly enough cheese, nor enough bacon. We ended up tossing them. In addition, I ordered a chocolate coke, and it had lumps of chocolate at the bottom. I have never experienced this before. They are always very smooth. So with that being said, we decided to skip the ice cream.
Now this place has an arcade and I think it is a really cool arcade. The arcade alone would get a 4 star rating. They have new technologically up to date games, and an easy card system for the kids to use. Very reasonably priced, and the kids can waste a good hour of time in there maybe even 2 depending on their age. My kids really enjoyed the arcade.
As far as the 18 hole mini golf course, it left a lot to be desired, especially as far as kids go. For mini golf, kids like a lot of animation and things that move, and some water falls. This golf course has none of those, and it also is pricey. The adult price is $8.00 which is fine, but I certainly do not think that kids under 12 should be the same price as an adult, but they are. They do play music while you golf which I thought was nice for the adults. Their website is: www.dufferswildwood.com
