Experience Another World at Nick’s Rehoboth Beach Jurassic Golf
By Julie Matthews
Entering its 10th summer season, Nick’s Mini Golf is expanding with a new location opening in Rehoboth Beach Memorial Day weekend in 2024. Conveniently nestled in front of Wal-Mart at the Rehoboth Mall on Route 1 is a brand new miniature golf course, breathing new life into the mini golf scene in town with an old favorite Jurassic theme. Players of all ages are in for an exceptional mini golf experience at Nick’s Rehoboth Beach Jurassic Golf.
At the course’s core is an old converted bank building, standing about 20 feet tall. While the building doesn’t necessarily have a large footprint, it has a very high ceiling, perfect for the gigantic dinosaurs that inhabit it. When considering how to utilize the building, owner Nick Geracimos and his team at Nick’s Mini Golf had to think outside the box for an indoor-outdoor game plan for the course’s layout. And here’s where the ball landed. After entering the building, participants will pay and then play the first hole. Next, they will head outside where they will play holes 2 to 15. Then, they will return back inside the building, passing by the bank vault from the building’s past life, and playing the remaining holes 16, 17 and 18 indoors.
Along with the unique course layout, the décor at this new location is above and beyond any standard mini golf course. A jungle-like theme—with displays of lush greenery and vibrant murals—is the atmosphere inside the building making you “feel like you have been transported into a new world, a Jurassic world,” says Geracimos. The indoor space is filled with animatronic dinosaurs, which he notes are made with “high technology and are super realistic.” Two of the most visually impressive dinosaurs are “riders,” meaning players can climb up and sit on them, so come ready for incredible photo opportunities! The outdoor space is equally as remarkable with captivating scenery, from striking waterfalls and massive rocks to even more dinosaurs. Another extraordinary feature is a cave formation, thanks to a creative transformation of the building’s former drive-thru.
“I realized we had to go all in on theming,” says Geracimos. “I’m thankful I get to do the business side and also be creative with designing the courses.”
During your visit, swing by the snack bar for some refreshments and check out the merchandise available including dinosaur t-shirts and figures—fitting mementos to remember this special Jurassic mini golf experience. Also keep Nick’s Rehoboth Beach Jurassic Golf in mind for party celebrations.
