About

Coconut Creek Family Fun Park combines two full 18-hole miniature golf courses with the Gran Maze, a large walk-through labyrinth roughly the size of a football field that has been marketed as the first attraction of its kind in the United States when it was built. The park is landscaped around a tropical theme, with cascading waterfalls and a lake stocked with native fish running through the grounds, giving it a noticeably different look and feel from the more roadside, statue-driven design of some of Panama City Beach’s other long-running mini golf courses.

Running two separate 18-hole courses on one property gives the park enough capacity to handle busy summer evenings without long waits between groups, and it also lets returning visitors play a different course on a repeat visit rather than replaying the exact same holes. The tropical landscaping, with its waterfalls and koi-stocked lake, plays double duty as both scenery for the golf courses and a pleasant walking environment in its own right, something that sets the property apart from a typical flat, sun-exposed mini golf lot.

The Gran Maze is the park’s signature attraction beyond golf, a hedge-and-pathway style walk-through labyrinth built at a scale large enough to genuinely challenge visitors trying to find their way to the center and back out again. Mazes of this type work well as a group or family activity, since parties can split up, race each other to the center, or work together to navigate the paths, and the open-air, football-field scale of the maze gives it a different pace and feel than an escape room or indoor attraction built around a fixed puzzle.

Coconut Creek operates year-round rather than shutting down in the off-season, reflecting Panama City Beach’s status as a destination with meaningful visitor traffic outside the peak summer months, including spring break, fall fishing season and the snowbird population that spends winter months in the area. Its location on Front Beach Road places it within the same general corridor as several of the beach’s other family attractions, making it easy to combine with a broader evening out on that stretch of the beach.

Given the property’s scale, with two golf courses and a large maze on one lot, it represents a bigger investment of both space and time than some of the smaller single-course mini golf options nearby, and visitors planning to play both courses and walk the maze should expect the visit to run longer than a quick single round of mini golf elsewhere on the strip.
