Kid-Friendly Activities in PCB

Spend The Day At Shipwreck Island Water Park
Who doesn’t love a day at the water park? Shipwreck Island Water Park is filled with rides, slides, and, most importantly, fun! It’s been one of the area’s most beloved attractions since 1976!
The 15-acre park has all kinds of water-based fun waiting for you, including notable rides like the Raging Rapids, Pirate’s Plunge, Skull Island, and The Great Shipwreck. For the smaller kids in the group, the Tadpole Hole provides tons of fun in a smaller, slower-paced environment.
Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum
A lot of kids might groan at the thought of going to a museum on vacation, but not when you take them to Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Ripley’s actually hosts four attractions in Panama City Beach, so you’re sure to find one that interests you.
The museum features dozens of interactive exhibits that challenge everything you know about history and science, while the Mirror Maze presents the uniquely difficult task of simply getting out! You can also enjoy thrilling adventures at the 7D Moving Theater or pick up some one-of-a-kind souvenirs at the Cargo Hold Gift Shop!
Gulf World Marine Park
Is there a budding marine biologist in your family? They’ll love taking a trip to Gulf World Marine Park! Daily educational shows put you up close and personal with the most incredible marine life while teaching you about their habits and daily lives.
You can also opt for an interactive program to bring the experience to life. Popular options include the Penguin Encounter, Bottlenose Dolphin Meet N Greet, Trainer for a Day, and the VIP Sea Life Experience. You could spend an entire day exploring the park and still not cover it all! But luckily, admission is quite affordable, and the park is just a short drive from our rentals on Panama City Beach.
Ride The Skywheel
Get a bird’s eye view of everything there is to do in Panama City Beach on the SkyWheel! The SkyWheel is the newest addition to PCB’s Pier Park, which offers all the shopping, dining, and entertainment you could ask for.
When you take your seat aboard the SkyWheel, you’ll be carried almost 200 feet above the ground, providing a panoramic view of Pier Park and offering beautiful sunset views. After your ride, be sure to explore the rest of Pier Park, which offers an 18-hole mini golf course, a ropes course for all ages, and so much more!
