One of the best things about getting to vacation on Okaloosa Island is seeing all the wildlife. Head on over to the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park, where you can view some fantastic animals. Watch the Dolphin presentation, see Sea Lions, and learn about Otters, Penguins, living sea animals, sharks, etc. Plus, don’t miss out on the crocodilian feed, where you’ll learn more about how intelligent they are. You can even reserve for an additional cost a unique animal encounter, including snorkeling with stingrays. Don’t miss out on this fun with the whole family on your next trip.

The Okaloosa Island Fishing Pier

Fishing on the Okaloosa Island Fishing Pier is a must-do every vacation for many families. If you’ve never fished a day in your life, we promise that fishing off the pier here on the island is well worth it. There is no need to bring your fishing gear as you can just rent it right there on the dock, and don’t worry about that license either. With your daily fishing pass, you will receive a daily fishing license. There is something for everyone, from watching your kids reel in their first catch to sitting back and enjoying your time on the pier.

Wild Willy’s Adventure Zone

If you’re looking for something to do with the kids or teenagers, then Wild Willy’s Adventure Zone is the ticket. They are open from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm Monday – Saturday and 10:00 am – 8:00 pm on Sundays. You can do some of the things: Island Grand Prix Racetracks, Bumper Boats, Mini-Golf, Laser Tag, and More. Plus, they have a Ptero Jump where you can do flips on a trampoline and feel like you’re a Pterosaur. Think of the fun the whole family will have when you take them to Wild Willy’s Adventure Zone one day on vacation!
