    Enjoy waterpark adventures at Jungle Jim’s Water Park or Thunder Lagoon Water Park. Also at the beach, there’s a waterpark and go-cart racing at Midway Speedway Park. For indoor fun, visit Lefty’s Alley and Eats to challenge the family to bowling, and arcade games, or catch one of their Drive In Movies on the weekends.

  • Putt Putt Competitions :

    Miniature golf is kind of like french fries with vinegar – when you’re at the Delaware beaches, you'll probably end up trying them both. Some favorites include Fire Mountain Golf, Ryan's Mini Golf, and Captain Jack’s Pirate Golf.
