🧒 Things to Do with Kids

Easy fun for the whole crew

The Emerald Coast is built for family beach weeks, and the list of kid-approved things goes way beyond the sand. Here's how to keep everyone happy, from toddlers to teens.

🧒 Kid favorites

• The beach and the shallows. Gentle gulf water is perfect for little ones, see family beaches.
• Splash pads and pools. Spots like Destin Commons have free splash areas after beach time.
• Arcades and mini-golf. A rainy-day or evening classic around Destin.
• Boat rides. Kids love a dolphin cruise, dolphins included.

🌦️ Rainy day backup

If the sky cooperates less, hit the shopping splash zones, the boardwalk, or a casual family dinner.
