“Something to do-mini golf inexpensive compared to other attractions!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

This Cooters isn't a resturant which I wasn't aware until inside. They have a museum which really is a bunch of photos and a Dukes car. You can pay to sit in the car, we didn't do this, we just snapped pics. They have a full gift shop which I thought was a little high in price. They offer a... More

They have a General Lee there that you can sit in and have your picture taken for $5. My son loved that! They also have a mini golf in the top part that is okay but kinda boring, we did it just because it was only $5. My husband and two older kids did the go-karts they have in the... More

Cooters had plenty of neat and unique things from the Dukes of Hazzard show but the merchandise was expensive. $5.00 just to sit in the General Lee to take a picture with your own camera geeez. $22-$25 for a t-shirt. A little ate for a shirt I can go down the street and get fir $10. Will bot go again... More

“Gotta go for just a couple of minutes and check it out”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2011

Fun spot for anyone who watched the show. Brought back some good memories. Not in the best of conditions, but it's fun. $5 to take a picture in the General Lee is kind of a rip off, but it's a one time experience, so we did it. They play a constant loop of the Dukes of Hazzard in the background,... More

“If you watched the show, you got to go”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

As a fan of the show growing up, I had to visit this place. It really is just a merchandise store with some show memorabilia. Deputy Cletus Hogg (Rick Hurst) was there the day I visited, and was signing autographs. They have an indoor go kart track and a mini golf course, but they main draw is in the front... More
