Our Top Five 2009 Family Friendly Picks in Pensacola
Posted in Parks and Playplaces, Places to Go & Things to Do on January 1, 2010
In honor of the new year, we give you our top five family friendly activities/places in Pensacola for 2009. There is no fancy statistical process here…I asked my three and five year old children what their favorite things to do were and this is what they came up with. If asked what they wanted to do that morning, one of these activities was probably on their list!
1. Splash Pad at Plaza De Luna
2. Sam’s Surf City — Sam’s Fun City was number 6 on the list, but my kids love the water park. We are thinking about a year pass this time!
3. Parks — Their favorite park right now is the one off of Tippin, but they love to visit any park!
4. Walking — We love to go on nature walks as a family and Pensacola has so many awesome trails and boardwalks. Our favorite is UWF Edward Ball Nature Trail because they love to spot the turtles swimming!
5. Bowling — Right now, our favorite place to go bowling is Oops Alley because you can set the bumpers to go up and down depending on who is playing at the time.
What are your family favorite activities? List them in the comment section or send us an email with your suggestions so we can try them out!
Happy exploring!
I have got to get out and try those trails around UWF! Your post is just the reminder I needed to start exploring the local terrain again. Thanks. Great post and love how you let Seth and Sera decide! Can’t wait to see what you share in 2010! I’m so glad I found you and that you found me too.
I love your blog! We just moved to Pensacola and we have a young son. I am a stay at home mom and I have been looking for things to do with him, so I googled Pensacola and found your blog! Im so glad I did! Thank you (:
Thanks so much for your kind words. I appreciate them and am glad to have helped!
Thanks for the sites. If your kids love parks, then ya’ll need to try Ascend Park (use to be Solutia) off of Chemstrand Rd in Cantonment. My kids love it there. Theres lots to do and when your done you can walk down to the pond and feed the ducks.
