Congo River Golf & Exploration Co.
(Congo River) is an entertaining and visually captivating Family Fun Park
featuring 18 holes of Adventurous Miniature Golf, Game Room, Arcade, Party Pavilion and Food Concessions
all designed around an African / Jungle theme.
Congo
River was developed in 1987 by Benjamin R. Jones of RECreation & Entertainment
Consultants, Inc. Congo River occupies approximately 2 acres of land
which includes the miniature golf course, game arcade,
retail, concessions, party areas, support buildings and parking facilities.
The park is beautifully landscaped and meticulously maintained. The design
and interactive theme of the park incorporate the history of Central Africa
by having players follow in the footsteps of two great African explorers,
Stanley and Livingstone. Educational fun facts are placed on signs throughout
the course and park and explain about the geographic region, the two explorers
and their discoveries. The
multi-level course has a unique and artistic atmosphere created in part
by the use of professionally designed landscapes of artificial rockwork
and man-made mountains, featuring numerous waterfalls, streams, caves,
bridges and intriguing building designs and scenery. The primary buildings
form a village which includes ticket sales, concessions, retail, office
and public areas. A small game arcade; thatched hut which houses more
games; bamboo and grass utility building; and a gazebo rest shelter at
the top of the course round out the buildings and Exploration Village.
