With National Mini Golf Day coming up on September 21, 2011 this is the perfect time to take the kids for some family fun at one of Los Angeles' best miniature golf courses. Each location is great for a family outing or even a birthday party. (Here are the best mini golf spots in the Inland Empire, and the best spots in Orange County.)

Considered one of the premier mini-golf experiences around, the Golf N Stuff in Norwalk, CA features four distinct golf courses (18 holes each), a Lit'l Indy Raceway, Bumper Boats, RamRod Bumper Cars, the Cannonball Express (kiddie) Train, an Arcade and a Disk'O Thrill Ride which sits you on a motorcycle-like pedestal seat facing outward while combining a dual rocking and spinning motion. A little movie trivia, this Golf N Stuff was in the original Karate Kid. This family-fun park is open 365 days a year on most days from 10am to Midnight, but rides open later in the day so be sure to check their website for hours. Most of the rides do have height limitations so warn kids ahead of time that they might not be able to go on all the rides.
