When visiting the South, the weather can sometimes be unpredictable. Winter months may bring chilly weather, and in the summer, rain may be determined to make its appearance. Despite the weather, we won’t let that ruin our fun while on the coast.
So, here are our top activities to do inside when Mother Nature strikes or if you just need a break from the sun.
Located just 5-10 minutes from the beach, Jurassic Gold is an indoor mini golf course that offers 18 glow-in-the-dark holes surrounded by large dinosaur sculptures. Families will enjoy the prehistoric-themed décor and a fun atmosphere that entertains all ages.
Head over to The Factory for a full day of indoor excitement. Jump on 15,000 square feet of trampolines, play dodgeball, try the Ninja Obstacle Course, or rope swing into a foam pit. When you’re done, enjoy the climbing gym, arcade with a flight simulator, batting cages, and many arcade games. There is something here for both kids and parents to enjoy.
One of the reasons the Alabama Gulf Coast sees so many visitors a year is the beautiful white-sandy beaches. However, sometimes the water temperatures of rain clouds can force you to alter plans. Well, don’t worry about missing out on fun in the water! Tropic Falls indoor waterpark is open year-round! Enjoy waterslides, lazy rivers, and the dump-bucket tower all throughout the waterpark!
The Gulf Bowl has it all for making family memories when escaping the elements! Hit the lanes, and see who’s the best bowler in the group. Next, head over to the Arcade, where there are 32 of the latest arcade games, a laser tag arena, and axe-throwing! While in the room, look up to see the High Ropes, zip line course, where you can take your next adventure. If you get hungry, enjoy the bowling alley cantina or sit down at the Captain’s Choice restaurant inside the facility. They truly have it all in the Gulf Bowl to keep your family entertained.
Who doesn’t love a little shopping while on vacation? Take a 15-minute drive off the beach into Foley, AL, for the Tanger Outlet Mall. Now, this activity is not completely inside, but you can still escape into about 100 different stores! Shop for all ages from clothes, toys, accessories, bags, and more!
Even though you may visit the Alabama Gulf Coast for the crashing waves and sun, sometimes your visit may take you inside. Don’t miss out on any of the fun and head indoors at any of these businesses listed here!
