Spring Break is here and if you’re itching for something to do in Philly with the whole family, look no further.

Science History Institute

Puttshack

What sets Puttshack apart is that the brand uses “Trackaball technology,” where each player can create a unique player profile, synced to their own individual golf ball at the start of gameplay. Engineered with a microprocessor, this golf ball tracks the player’s score, bonus points earned, which holes have been played, and more. Returning players will be able to use their profile to access data about past visits, games, and other metrics. Guests can compete against one another in groups of up to six players.
