Thrilling Amusement Parks
In Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
For many, a beach vacation is all about unwinding and relaxing by the water. Others, however, prefer to search for thrills and adventure during their trip. On Alabama's beaches, you can have the best of both worlds! After a day in the sand, grab your crew and play a game of putt-putt, race to the finish line on go-karts, or slip down winding waterslides. Gulf Shores and Orange Beach are home to four exciting amusement parks that offer fun for everyone in the family.
Looking for a thrilling experience while visiting Alabama's Beaches? Here are some of our favorite spots!
Bring your family to the fun-filled attractions at Waterville USA. Only a quarter mile from the beach, you'll find a waterpark, go-karts, two escape rooms, a bungee trampoline, bowling, and a golf simulator. In the waterpark, guest favorites include Dune Racer, Screamin' Demon, and Flowrider. The younger crowd is not forgotten and will love slower-paced activities like Little Pirates' Waterpark and Shrimp Boat Village. While the kids play, the adults can relax in a private cabana and enjoy food and drink service or float down the lazy river. Grab your swimsuit and head to Waterville!
The Track Family Fun Park
The Track Family Fun Park in Gulf Shores has something for everyone in your group. Prepare for adrenaline-pumping rides like the Skycoaster and Spinning Coaster that'll appeal to thrill seekers. The Track offers plenty of fun for the younger kids in your crew, too, with go-kart rides, mini golf, bumper boats, and Kids' Country rides. For an electrifying time, don't miss signature attraction Wild Woody, an elevated, multilevel go-kart track that covers three-and-a-half stories with turns and drops. After you've raced to your heart's content, head inside and play one of the 50 classic and interactive games in the arcade.
Adventure Island
From indoor excitement to outdoor adventures, Adventure Island in the heart of Orange Beach offers something for everyone. Enjoy 18 holes of mini golf, bumper boats, go-karts, a teacup ride, and the eruption of a five-story volcano brimming with fire and sound. If you want to beat the heat, head inside to enjoy nine holes of black-light pirate mini golf and an arcade packed with more than 100 games. With so much to do, you'll want to visit Adventure Island again and again!
Tropic Falls
A quick trip to nearby Foley will lead you to Tropic Falls, a theme park and indoor waterpark. The 22-ride theme park offers rides for those of all ages. Take a ride on Rollin' Thunder, spin around on the Wave Rider, or take it easy on the Flying Carousel. The theme park also has carnival games, kiddie rides, and a splash pad. Next door sits Tropic Falls' waterpark, the largest indoor waterpark in the region. Like the theme park, the waterpark offers excitement for all ages, from thrilling slides and a surf simulator to a relaxing lazy river and a 30,000-square-foot wave pool. Both parks provide food and drink, and the waterpark is staffed with lifeguards.
