The Outer Banks is one of the top vacation destinations in the United States. The best part about the OBX is that there is an abundance of activities for the whole family. Kids and adults will have many adventures and will want to come back for years to come. In the past our posts have focused on the adults. Now its time to point out some activities for the younger generation of the families that visit. While sitting on the beach reading a book and listening to the ocean may sound appealing to many of us, the average eight year old probably has a different idea of fun on vacation. Listed below are some kid specific activities that can be enjoyed by youngsters, but will get a smile from the “kid at heart” too.
Glazin Go Nuts - paint your own pottery. This activity would be great for that rare rainy day in the OBX. Kids and parents will enjoy picking out their own pottery piece and painting it with choices of any color in the rainbow. Participants can choose from hundreds of different styles of pottery. Glazin Go Nuts is open everyday from 10AM – 6PM and is located at Mile Post 6 on HWY 158 in Kill Devil Hills. No reservations are necessary but you can call 252-449-2134 for more information.
Blackbeard Miniature Golf – The Outer Banks is known for golf, but did you know it is also known for miniature golf? Blackbeard’s Miniature golf course can be a great way to spend a day on the course for the whole family. This mini golf course offers 18 holes of fun and challenging play. You will be putting over rivers, taking in views of the ocean all while having the time of your life.
Go Carts – For the older children and the motor heads in the family, check out Colington Speedway. Colington offers three different track styles for your budding Mario Andretti or Dale Ernhardt Jr. There is a road course that has many twists and turns and ample passing opportunities. A kiddie track can be great for the drivers not quite big enough to reach the pedals on the big cars, and the oval slick track is sure to test the skills of even the most accomplished go cart driver. Visit Colington and test your driving skills!
North Carolina Aquarium at Roanoke Island – While you are visiting the OBX, you may participate in ocean activities such as fishing, boating, surfing and more. Now you can see what lives in the water you play in the Roanoke Island Aquarium. This day long activity will be fun and educational for all visitors. The Aquarium’s main goal is to raise awareness of the conservation of aquatic life with research and efforts to help protect our oceans. Visit the aquarium while you are here to see some of the most majestic sea creatures. Please call 1-866-332-3475 for more information.
