Exploring Destin on your own and finding out what the area has to offer can be a fun adventure in itself.

However if you have kids that uncertainty can lead to some frustration as their attention can wane if they aren’t actively engaged in something.

The beach is fine and all but you can only stay there so long, especially lately with the cold snap lingering on. So what else can you do to keep the kids having fun while creating smiles for yourself?

How about fishing? It’s a fantastic activity that affords you the opportunity to see all sorts of sea life and maybe reconnect with some conversation that may have been lacking as of late in all the hustle and bustle to get here and situated. Deep sea fishing is an absolute blast however if you’re trying to take the whole family it can get a little costly. However you do have fishing options that are much more cost effective such as the area’s lakes, docks, piers and jetties. Depending on where you are and when, even fishing from the beach is a possibility for some good catches.

If the idea of fishing doesn’t do anything for you then maybe try the Gulfarium! For reasonable prices you can check out the aquariums, shows and even some wonderful exhibits of some of your favorite animals. That’s even nearby, just a short drive outside of Destin’s limits and you can find this little treasure and make learning fun for the kids again.

If you really want to spoil the kids and have them think you’re the coolest then let them have fun at the Track. Go karts, bumper rides, huge thrills, arcades and even some mini golf will have them all smiles for the day. There are also other options for some of that fun with Goofy Golf out in Fort Walton Beach and Fat Daddy’s Arcade in Destin next to Fudpucker’s and their legendary alligator exhibit.

There are so many choices on things that the whole family can do but we wanted to make sure you had a couple ideas in your back pocket in case the pressure gets turned up on you.

If you need more ideas on something to do with the family then feel free to ask our amazing staff at Sea Oats.
