The Fish Hole Mini Golf in Bradenton Beach: Family Fun on Bridge Street
Looking for something fun to do when your family is ready for a break from the beach? Head to Historic Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach for a round of miniature golf at The Fish Hole.
This family-friendly, 18-hole adventure golf course combines mini golf with tropical landscaping, water features and one of its most memorable attractions—a large koi pond filled with colorful fish.
Whether you're traveling with kids, enjoying a couples getaway or looking for an activity the whole family can do together, The Fish Hole is an easy addition to an Anna Maria Island vacation.
⛳ 18 Holes of Island-Style Mini Golf
You don't need any golf experience to enjoy The Fish Hole.
The 18-hole course is designed for a range of ages and skill levels, making it easy to turn a round into a little friendly vacation competition. Grab your putter, choose a golf ball and decide who gets the important job of keeping score.
The tropical setting is part of the experience. Rather than simply moving from one hole to the next, you'll make your way through lush landscaping and water features that give this compact Bridge Street course its own island personality.
A typical round takes about 45 minutes to an hour for a group of four, although your time can vary depending on your group and how busy the course is.
🐠 Don't Miss the Koi Pond
The golf may bring you in, but the fish might steal the show—especially if you're visiting with kids.
The Fish Hole features a 3,000-gallon koi pond, adding another fun element to the course. Visitors can stop to watch the colorful koi and may even get the chance to feed the fish and turtles.
It's one of those little details that turns a simple round of mini golf into a more memorable vacation activity.
So don't rush from hole to hole. Take your time, enjoy the tropical surroundings and snap a few vacation photos along the way.
👨👩👧👦 Family Fun for Different Ages
Finding something everyone wants to do can sometimes be the hardest part of a family vacation.
Mini golf is one of those activities that works particularly well for mixed-age groups. Younger children can enjoy learning to putt and watching the koi, while older kids, parents and grandparents can join the competition.
No special skills are required, and nobody has to take the scorecard too seriously.
Vacation Tip: Make things interesting by letting the winner choose where the family goes for dessert afterward. With all the restaurants and sweet treats around Bridge Street, that's a prize worth playing for!
🌴 Make It Part of a Historic Bridge Street Outing
One of the best things about The Fish Hole is its location.
Historic Bridge Street is one of Bradenton Beach's most popular areas for strolling, dining, shopping and entertainment, which means you don't have to make mini golf your only activity.
Spend some time exploring Historic Bridge Street, play a round at The Fish Hole, browse nearby shops and then grab dinner or dessert. While you’re there, stop by Back Alley Treasures for coffee and locally inspired finds, or satisfy your sweet tooth with a visit to Island Donut Company. You can easily turn a single activity into a relaxed afternoon or evening in Bradenton Beach.
If you've been exploring some of our other local favorites, this is also a great opportunity to discover more of the restaurants, shops and small businesses that make the Bridge Street area such a fun part of an Anna Maria Island vacation.
☀️ A Fun Change of Pace From the Beach
We would never tell you to skip a beautiful Anna Maria Island beach day—but even beach lovers occasionally want to do something different.
The Fish Hole works well as an afternoon activity after a morning by the Gulf, an after-dinner outing or something fun to do when everyone needs a change of scenery.
The tropical landscaping, shady areas and cooling misters can also make the course a welcome break from the Florida sunshine.
And because you're already on Anna Maria Island, you won't have to travel far from your vacation rental to add a completely different experience to your day.
