Summer is all about getting some much-needed rest and relaxation. But after the shine of vegging on the couch wears off, boredom can set in. Luckily, all along the Alabama Coastal Connection we’ve got plenty of free, kid-friendly ways to cure summer boredom.
Love live music? Boogie all night long for free at LuLu’s in Gulf Shores! Musicians near and far from a wide variety of genres light up the LuLu’s stage every night of the week. Free entertainment means you can put your money toward a delicious meal and fruity cocktails while the kids play outside in the sand. Head here for the monthly lineup.
Kids can be kids at the Wharf in Orange Beach. Each Tuesday starting this month and ending July 31, it’s Kids’ Night at the Wharf. Admission is free, and activities vary by the week and include face painting, water slides, bouncy houses and more. Additional activities will be available for an extra fee.
While in Orange Beach, bike or hike your way along the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail. Seven trails make up more than 15 miles of riding and walking trails that wind through six distinct ecosystems. Both educational and fun, kids and grown-ups alike will love learning about the unique flora and fauna that live along the trails. Make sure to bring your camera!
Camping out at Gulf State Park? All summer long, the park is offering free programming to guests of the park. Learn about star navigation, bugs and insects, enjoy a guided nature tour or catch a documentary screening at the Gulf State Park Educational Building. Check here to see what’s on the calendar next.
