Depends on the your number of people! For groups of 2-4, 1 hour is often enough. For groups larger than 5 we highly recommend 90 minutes or two hours, which allows time for safety, training, coaching, games, tournaments, trick shots, and more! We take pride in tailoring the experience to what you're most interested in. If you'd like to stay longer, we're happy to extend your stay if our availability allows.
