For a Little Bit of Everything: Staten Island GoKarts and Mini-Golf

At this Staten Island amusement center you can hit some balls, take a spin in a go-kart and then play some mini golf. You'll find nine batting cages here with varied speeds that pitch both hard and soft balls, as well as a "lob pitch" machine which simulates an easier, underhand pitch. Prices start at $2.50 for 18 pitches.
