Things to Do with Teens

Searching for adrenaline-pumping fun, The Track in Gulf Shores is the place for you. You'll race across the multiple go-karts courses, including the Wild Woody, a three-and-a-half-story winding wooden track. After zipping around the park you'll want to check out the SkyCoaster and take in the views from 110 feet in the air. If thrills aren't really your style, head inside the arcade and enjoy an array of classic and interactive games.

Alabama’s Beaches look exquisite from the ground, but wait until you see them from above. Take a ride in the sky with Lost Bay Helicopters to get an amazing aerial view of the area. The highly skilled pilots will point out notable spots during your tour and ensure you and your gang have a safe and memorable ride. 

Mini golf is a quintessential vacation activity, especially at the beach, and Gulf Shores and Orange Beach are home to numerous courses to test your and your teen's skills. Make your way across waterfalls, streams, bridges, and more challenges as you putt-putt through the courses around the beach. If your crew wants to take their mini golfing up a notch, visit Jurassic Golf in Gulf Shores and experience its 5,000 square feet of glow-in-the-dark fun.

The beautiful Gulf State Park lies in both Gulf Shores and Orange Beach and is an outdoor paradise filled with local wildlife, lakes, trails, and more. With over 28 miles of trails, navigating the entire park can be tricky. One of the best ways to explore the park is with a guided tour from Coastal Segway Adventures. These two-hour tours allow you to easily cruise through the park and fit in lots of sightseeing. If you've never ridden a Segway, don't worry; each session begins with a riding lesson.

There's no better place to grab a bite to eat and hang out than The Hangout. This beachfront restaurant combines delicious food, great entertainment, and fabulous views to create the perfect atmosphere for chilling out and dining. Running through the bubbles from the foam machine, dancing on top of the tables, and snapping a picture in front of the Shaka are just a few of the unique things to do at this Gulf Shores staple.

Our beaches are a dream come true for the fishing enthusiasts in your crew. You'll discover plenty of angling opportunities, from surf and pier to freshwater and charter fishing. Experienced anglers will love hopping aboard a deep-sea charter and venturing out into the Gulf to search for various species. Those who prefer to keep their feet grounded should visit the Gulf State Park Fishing and Education Pier, as it's a great spot for fishing and sightseeing.

The Wharf in Orange Beach is the ultimate spot for all things entertainment. Immerse yourself in the vibrant gaming world at Outer Limits VR, then play a game of laser tag or bazooka ball at Arena Next Level Arcade. Keep the party going and visit the Axe Hole and Breakout Games for even more fun. Afterward, grab a giant slice of pizza from Vinny's Pizzeria or a piece (or two) of homemade fudge at Kilwins. On top of all the cool attractions at The Wharf, there are plenty of fantastic shops and restaurants to keep the fun going.
