Now Open at Irvine Spectrum: A Wonderfully Wacky World of Play
If your New Year’s resolutions include having more fun, laughing a little louder, or embracing your inner kid, there’s a brand-new playground just a short drive from Newport Beach—and it’s unlike anything Southern California has seen before. Holey Moley Golf Club and the first-ever U.S. Hijinx Hotel have officially opened their doors at Irvine Spectrum Center, bringing a wildly imaginative mix of mini golf, immersive gaming, karaoke, dining and all-around shenanigans to Orange County.
Holey Moley Golf Club: Mini Golf Gets a Glow-Up
With 27 outrageously themed holes, Holey Moley takes classic putt-putt and tosses it straight into a neon-lit fever dream—in the best way possible. Every corner is packed with pop-culture nostalgia, movie-inspired madness, clever puns and immersive décor that blurs the line between art installation and pure play.
This isn’t your childhood mini golf. It’s mini golf on another level—complete with a full-service bar and restaurant, over-the-top photo ops and creative design touches that make every hole its own little world. Whether you're planning a family outing, date night, or group get-together, Holey Moley is equal parts competitive and completely hilarious.
Hijinx Hotel: Check In for Chaos (and Champagne)
Right next door, the Hijinx Hotel is officially “open”—not as a place to sleep, but as a place to let loose. This isn’t a hotel at all, but a hospitality-themed entertainment experience that invites guests to “check in” and step inside 15 challenge rooms, each an interactive, scored game filled with riddles, physical puzzles and mind-bending fun.
Expect theatrical design, mischievous moments, and bellhops whose only job is to stir up a good time. The venue also features private karaoke lounges and Suite 404, a speakeasy-style bar and restaurant where you can toast to a victory—or laugh about a spectacular loss.
Perfect for date nights, friend groups, team outings and anyone who loves an excuse to play, Hijinx Hotel is a bold, imaginative addition to the local entertainment landscape.
Why Locals Will Love It
January is the perfect month to explore something new, and this electric duo brings a refreshing blend of creativity, competition and connection. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, hunting for a rainy-day activity, planning a fun weekend with the family, or just wanting a night that’s anything but ordinary—these venues deliver.
