All Ages will Love the Go-Karts, Trail Rides & Mini-Golf at Holiday Acres

MINOCQUA - Holiday Acres Recreation Park in Minocqua has welcomed and entertained Northwoods visitors and local residents for more than 50 years, and the fun today is just as exciting as it was when this facility first opened!

The complex is a complete entertainment package for all ages, offering horse and pony rides, exciting go-kart racing and relaxing and fun mini-golf.

Up for a spin around the go-kart track? Holiday Acres boasts three excellent tracks, including the original Super Track.

When it’s time to relax there are a couple outstanding choices. First, take a 45-minute guided ride on gentle horses and ponies through the 40 acres of scenic woods that surround Holiday Acres. Rides leave on the hour daily. The little cowpokes will be talking about the ride on their favorite pony for weeks afterwards! Reservations are suggested (715-356-4400).

Or challenge family and friends to a round of golf on the 18-hole miniature golf course, with outstanding landscaping features such as rivers, ponds and waterfalls. Golf under the sun or under the lights at night.
