There's a Build-a-Bear workshop at the commons. That might be something fun to do with your LO? We never seem to end up with one close by so it's definitely fun for us (even before kids!). :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/places-to-visit-near-pensacola-beach-florida#post-976822 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 21:04:08 +0000 Weagle 976822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @mrs.lord: about Fairhope if you have the time. I always try to go for the day when I'm home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/places-to-visit-near-pensacola-beach-florida#post-976518 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 18:27:47 +0000 mediagirl 976518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: the culinary couple?<br /> @NavyRN2012: such a bummer! We saw them a few years ago and loved it.<br /> @mrs.lord: probably just us and our 13 month old. His parents aren't really the "do stuff" type of people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/places-to-visit-near-pensacola-beach-florida#post-976492 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 18:10:28 +0000 NavyRN2012 976492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live on NAS Pensacola and unfortunately due to budget cuts the Blue Angels are no longer having weekly stunt practice for the public, but downtown Pensacola has a lot of wonderful restaurants and Gulf Shores, AL is about 30 min away and has quite a bit to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/places-to-visit-near-pensacola-beach-florida#post-976454 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 17:41:51 +0000 loveisstrange 976454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Destin and Fort Walton Beach are both beautiful! Not a bad drive either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/places-to-visit-near-pensacola-beach-florida#post-976441 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 17:34:26 +0000 T.H.O.U. 976441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: someone just blogged about going there with kids. I will try to find the link tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/places-to-visit-near-pensacola-beach-florida#post-976431 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 17:29:53 +0000 AmandaB8 976431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Destin FL has an awesome outlet mall if you want to shop! </p> <p>Also, the National Aviation Museum is in Pensacola - the Blue Angels (a stunt fighter jet team) practice there and you can watch for free. It's loud, so ear plugs aren't a bad idea. But super cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/places-to-visit-near-pensacola-beach-florida#post-976407 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 17:12:41 +0000 mrs.lord 976407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Destin FL is about 45 mins away and has nice shopping/restaurants.<br /> Fairhope,AL is about an hour away and an adorable town with things to do downtown.<br /> It will still be warm enough to go to the beach, at least 80ish .<br /> It really depends on the age of people going on the vacation for fun stuff to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/places-to-visit-near-pensacola-beach-florida#post-976100 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:55:48 +0000 regberadaisy 976100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This looks awesome! <a href="http://www.gulfarium.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gulfarium.com/</a> But it's in Fort Walton, how far is that from where you will be? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/places-to-visit-near-pensacola-beach-florida#post-976073 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:47:57 +0000 mediagirl 976073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are visiting my inlaws in October. They live on Pensacola Beach but I would like to branch out and see what else is in the area. Pensacola doesn't offer much of a downtown/boardwalk/fun walking area. </p> <p>Does anyone know of places nearby that might be fun to visit? </p>
