Opening
Tap Ins at the Greenhouse Opens in Overland Park Next Week
KC Daily
If Chicken N Pickle and mini golf had a baby, it would look something like Tap Ins at the Greenhouse. The brand new golf-focused entertainment destination opens next week in Overland Park.
The indoor/outdoor mini golf destination is like nothing else in Kansas City. Here’s what you can expect:
Guests can purchase All Day Par Passes, which offer unlimited play on both courses, yard games, and the beer garden for the entire day.
Tap Ins at the Greenhouse is located at 9571 Metcalf Ave. and opens to the public at 10am on Tuesday, December 9th.
Don’t mind me, just getting a hole-in-one on the hardest hole on the course.
