What is Smash Putt? Oh lord, what is it not? To begin with, it’s a wicked art installation: a gigantic pinball machine, a Rube Goldberg-esque robotic creation on a major scale, Mad Max at the Putt Putt, with cocktail swilling included in the fun. And lucky you: Smash Putt!, a 21+ phenomenon from the great Northwest, will drop balls and buzz and ping and glow (and turn the tables on your opponent should you choose, to boot), is turning a building at 2762 Walnut Street (aka the Vintage Moto Museum) into, well, into something you can only experience to truly believe. But there’s a catch: It’s only here for six weekends of self-proclaimed “mechanized madness,” beginning on New Year’s Eve.
Here’s how they roll, more or less:
Keep Westword Free
We’re $2,500 away from our spring campaign goal!
We’re aiming to raise $20,000. Your support ensures Westword can continue watching out for you and our community. No paywall. Always accessible. Daily online and weekly in print.
Hours are mostly evenings on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, through February 6, although two family matinees are scheduled for January 29 and February 5 (the evening of February 3 is also designated for all ages); admission for players is $10 to $12, and spectating is free. Go to the Smash Putt! website for reservations in advance, which open up weekly for the coming weekend’s dates.
