Easter weekend is one of the best times of year for a family outing in the Shreveport-Bossier area — the weather is usually perfect, kids are out of school, and everyone is in the mood to do something together. If you're looking for a fun activity that works for the whole family, a round of mini golf is one of the most universally enjoyable options out there. Here's how to make it a great Easter tradition.
Why Is Mini Golf Perfect for Easter Weekend?
Easter weekend typically falls in late March or April, which is peak mini golf season in Northwest Louisiana. The temperatures are comfortable, the humidity is still manageable, and the days are long enough to get out and enjoy some time outside without melting. That combination makes Easter weekend one of the best times all year to head to the putting course.
Mini golf works for every age in the family — from grandparents to toddlers old enough to swing a putter. The game is low-stakes, visually fun, and naturally paced for conversation and laughter between holes. Unlike a lot of family activities, it doesn't require everyone to be at the same skill level or physical ability. It just requires everyone to show up.
Our Putting Zone at Chasing Aces features two distinct mini golf layouts right at our facility at 1111 W 2nd St, Bossier City, LA 71111 . Walk in and play — no advance booking required for casual rounds.
How Do You Organize an Easter Putt-Putt Outing for a Larger Family Group?
Easter gatherings often mean bigger family groups — grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles all in one place. The key to making a group mini golf outing work is breaking into teams of 3–5 players and running friendly competitions. Keep score, give each team a funny name, and make the winner responsible for picking the ice cream spot afterward.
For families with a wide age range, putting scrambles are a crowd-pleaser. Everyone putts from the same spot and the group plays from the best ball. It keeps slower players from feeling left behind and creates built-in teamwork across generations. Nobody carries the burden of a bad hole, and everyone celebrates the good ones together.
If your Easter group is larger than 10–15 people, give us a call in advance at 318-735-1570 so we can make sure the venue accommodates your whole crew comfortably.
What Else Does Chasing Aces Offer for Easter Family Outings?
Chasing Aces isn't just mini golf — it's a full golf and sports entertainment venue with multiple activity options that extend your Easter outing naturally. After the putting round, try the swing bays with radar tracking for older kids and adults. The Home Run Dugout batting bays are a hit with kids who want to keep the competition going after the putting course wraps up.
The full food and drink menu means your family doesn't have to leave to find lunch or dinner. Stay, eat, and keep playing — it's the kind of place that turns a two-hour outing into a half-day Easter tradition. Families from Shreveport, Haughton, Benton, Minden, Stonewall, and the surrounding communities make the trip regularly, and it's always worth it.
Making Easter Weekend About More Than the Egg Hunt
There's something special about creating a family tradition around an activity you can repeat every year. An Easter putt-putt outing at Chasing Aces is the kind of thing that becomes a touchstone — the place you always go the Saturday before Easter, the tradition the kids start requesting in March. It's simple, affordable, and genuinely fun for everyone involved.
Check out our Par-3 Course as an additional activity for family members who want to try real golf while the little ones are on the putting course — it's beginner-friendly and perfect for first-timers of any age. We'd love to be part of your family's Easter plans this year and every year. Stop in at 1111 W 2nd St, Bossier City, LA 71111 or call us at 318-735-1570 to plan your visit.
