Minigarðurinn, a mini-golf and entertainment venue in Reykjavík, has closed, and its operator plans to seek bankruptcy proceedings. The closure was reported by mbl.is.

The board of Munnbitinn ehf., which operates the venue in Skútuvogur, intends to file for bankruptcy and wind up the company’s affairs in an orderly manner, according to a statement from chairman and shareholder Sigmar Vilhjálmsson.

“After more than six years of struggle, unfortunately there is nothing else to do but cease operations,” Sigmar said. He described the decision as difficult and said the company was sorry to part with its employees.

Minigarðurinn offered mini golf and other entertainment, as well as facilities for gatherings and events. Sigmar thanked customers who had visited, played and celebrated at the venue over the years.
