First time visit to Carlucci and wasn’t disappointed. What an amazing place. Had a fantastic afternoon.
Honesty box was a very unique system, all of the sculptures are amazing and the mini golf course is one of the best we have played on.
The ice blocks for the kids was a really nice touch. Will definitely return and we highly recommend it.

Carlucci land is that experience from my childhood that I thought was a forgotten era.
I arrived with my 2 children 4yrs and 5yrs, the shop/reception was "self service" with good clear instructions and an honesty box for cash and eftpos receipts. I love this concept of trust.......says even more about a man who is so thoughtful in his creating of such a cool, fun and highly entertaining environment that is CARLUCCI land. Just when we were stopping and winding down Carl appeared with ice blocks that he was handing out for free! I am in complete awe of his magnificent sculpting, very Tim Burton esque.
Health and safety worry warts stay away and find somewhere unfun and no risk to play! as it is very clearly signposted that children need to be supervised at all times!!
Carl....you are the coolest! Thanks so much for creating such a cool attraction on our wellington doorstep.......that we can actually afford!

We came here all the way from Taihape! And were surprised to see that payment was all through honesty! What a find! Especially being only a short trip from the hustle and bustle of the big city!! Awesome course, amazing art! We walked around for a good half an hour looking at everything and each round we found something new to look at!
Such a good example of "kiwi ingenuity" and the owner obviously has a heart of gold with a trusting heart!
Well done! And Thank You for letting us explore so freely! 😊

What a unique experience visiting this mini golf course. Our family of 5 loved finding our way through the various greens (total of 15) - and figuring out via all the ramps etc that had been constructed to get the ball into the hole. Tonnes of visitors on the day we visited - so word on the street must be that it's definately an attraction to visit. We were over in Wellington for the weekend - and are so pleased we dropped by to check out Carlucci Land! We'll definately be back!

Play golf, enjoy the sculptures, and schmooze with the atmosphere. So much to look at, glad I took pictures to remember it all. Fabulous repurposing at work. What a mind to have been able to create such pieces of wonderfulness. There was a children's group in a building, so did not see the whole park. Great place for kids to run around in.

Initial impressions on arriving were not promising but once on the course you understand the quirky charm to the place. The art sculptures around the area were brilliant and even had a little walk to do to enjoy the sculptures. The course was challenging and clever, nothing we had ever played on before, the owner is very talented in creating this course! We came back again before going to our next stop it was lots of fun!

The best mini golf ive ever been too...quirky and fun with some challenging bits. The whole scrap metal yard vibe is really well-executed. Pay your own eftpos system works well. Definitely a place for all the family or to take out of town visitors. Why not a 5? Some areas (the shed/bar) looked a little unloved/untidy but didnt actually effect the experience (as these are for functions only).

Our first impression on driving up was WTF! However this is the most entertaining course ever! In some areas it is like a game of mousetrap! The sculpture art is really interesting. Loved it.
