This summer, Washington, DC, is treated to a fresh and exciting attraction as Pixar Putt makes its debut at The Wharf. Running until August 4th, this pop-up Pixar-themed mini-golf course offers a playful escape that combines the charm of Pixar films with the fun of mini-golf, providing an ideal summer outing for all ages.
Pixar Putt brings to life the imaginative worlds of beloved Pixar films through 18 uniquely designed mini-golf holes. Each hole draws inspiration from different Pixar stories—from “Toy Story” to “The Incredibles” to “Monsters, Inc.”—creating a vibrant and engaging experience for players.
The fun extends into the evening with Pixar Putt After Dark, an adults-only session available on Friday and Saturday nights after 7 pm. It’s a perfect way to enjoy a bit of nostalgia and fun with friends or a special someone under the stars.
Due to its limited engagement and popular demand, securing a tee time in advance is strongly recommended, though walk-ups will be accommodated when possible. Booking your tee time online is the most effective way to guarantee your spot. Visit the official Pixar Putt website to choose your preferred day and time.
Pixar Putt is conveniently located next to the City Cruises terminal at the southern end of The Wharf. Look for signage around The Wharf to guide you directly to the mini-golf course.
Just a block away, head southeast on Maine Avenue SW, which turns into M Street SW. You’ll find the Metro entrance on your left, near 4th Street SW.An 8-minute walk, or take the free SW Shuttle from 7th St SW at Maryland Ave SW directly to The Wharf.
The course is outdoors, so dress appropriately for Washington’s summer weather. Sunscreen and hats are recommended for daytime play.Feel free to bring water bottles to stay hydrated, or purchase refreshments at the entrance.
Upon arrival, have your tickets ready for scanning. Staff will welcome you and guide your group to the start of the course. If your entire party isn’t together yet, you’ll need to wait for them before you can start playing.
The average playtime for a group of four to complete all 18 holes is between 60 to 90 minutes. However, please note that weekends and evenings may be busier, and playtime could extend due to higher player volumes.
Teams of up to 6 people can play together. If you have a larger group, you’ll need to divide into smaller teams to ensure smooth play and enjoyment for everyone on the course.
Tickets are required for all children aged 3 and above. Family packs are available for purchase which can include combinations of adults and children for added savings.
Pixar Putt is a fantastic way to enjoy the creativity of Pixar in a fun, interactive setting.
