I'm curious what the miniature golf-equivalent is for a 60-year old? The difference between sedentary, "normal" and highly active 60-year olds is probably much broader than among 25-year olds. Maybe some sort of ballroom dancing or line-dancing for the more active 60-year old.
"Ballroom dancing" might be right. I've been taking dance classes, on and off, since my early 20's. And when I tried ballroom classes, I saw quite a few people in their 50's and 60's there. Which means it'll be a passable "adult" date.

This is precisely what my original post was about: whether or not dates activities popular with teens (miniature golf, arcade, etc.) are also OK for people over 30. So far, it sounds like a yes. But it never hurts to get a bigger sample.
I still like mini golf...arcades, meh, never my thing.
I'm not big on arcades because I'm not good at it (that part doesn't bother me), and they are expensive, especially for someone who dies every 30 seconds.

I like when a date takes me to a cool place. What do I mean by that? An arcade in the mall? Maybe not so cool in my mind. But we have a historical "penny arcade" in this artsy old town nestled up in the mountains here, Manitou Springs. Surrounded by little shops, bars, and such, it's very quaint. If a date took me there, I'd play skee-ball and I'd have fun, and we could have ice cream or a drink (if I liked alcohol) afterwards. Now that is a date, with character!
The best way to figure out what will impress a date, is to observe and communicate. What one gal might be like, "meh", another will be thrilled to do. I'm not that into bowling or mini golf, but not because they are childish, just not my thing. I'd come back with a suggestion to maybe shoot pool instead? Eventually if you cannot find something that both of you think is fun, then you are just not that compatible. But that is more complex than "want to putt putt?" "Nah, not my thing." "OK we're done." lol
Has nothing to do with age, everything to do with personal preference in activities.
never too old.
When you've met the right person, even a trip to the grocery store or STD clinic is a shared experience, with opportunity for laughs, conspiracy secrets, private jokes, and lasting memories. Your mission, should you decide to accept it - is to make it thru those generic happy hour BS dates and staid chicken caesar salads and get to the good stuff.

i dont care where we go
i dont care what we do
i dont care pretty baby

It's still mini golf. I live in a 55+ and see it every day. We have 4 courses.
More active 60 year olds play softball, racquetball, tennis, water volleyball in addition to ballroom dancing. I think line dancing is about done.
I can see your point but a date is supposed to take both people into consideration, not just one of them. And I wouldn't use disinterest in mini-golf as a sign of relationship incompatibility, because how often do you go mini-golfing anyway?
True. I guess I was just making a one sided answer. Of course it's a two-way street. But at the end of the day, each individual decides if there will be a meeting in the middle or not. SOmetimes one side holds onto something they think is important at the risk of the relationship.

Fear level is an interesting animal. I'm 57. Currently I began training for a marathon in 4 months, and have increased my run distances to a minimum of 10 miles. 3+ years ago I ruptured my Achilles jumping rope. I haven't played basketball since - fear. I love running but don't do much trail running - fear. Somehow running instills no fear. Some of us roll the edge of invincibility until that line is crossed. The aftermath is pulling the line a bit closer to yourself.
