Whether you’re seeking an action-oriented activity to fill your next date night or some family-friendly bonding over a casual competition, the Coastal Bend has several options to fuel your fun. Choose an activity, grab a bite and don’t forget dessert!
Golf & Games
Putt-putt golf at Treasure Island Golf & Games is the perfect activity for people of all ages to enjoy. With just the right amount of competition, but little to no skill required, it’s ideal for spending quality time with a loved one or getting to know someone new. Plus, this attraction is open until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
Need for Speed
Open late on Fridays and Saturdays, a go-kart race at In the Game Funtrackers is anything but leisurely. Get the adrenaline going with some friendly, fast-paced competition. The go-karts are the main attraction, but In the Game also offers bumper boats, axe throwing, mini golf, an arcade and much more.
Dinner on the Go
If you want to skip the sit-down dinner and grab something on the go that’s still delicious, stop by Snapka’s Drive Inn for a nostalgic drive-up diner experience. This retro spot has been serving Dixie Cheeseburgers, onion rings, shakes and more under its old-fashioned awning since 1948.
FAMILY BREWS
Most local breweries are family-friendly and welcome even the littlest guests. Three local breweries, often equipped with board games and live entertainment, are conveniently located downtown:
Lazy Beach Brewing Downtown Taproom, 312 N. Chaparral St.
Rebel Toad Brewing Co., 425 Lomax St.
Nueces Brewing and Barbecuing, 401 S. Water St.
Lockdown on the Lex
Pick your mission: Defuse a bomb and save the world, rescue ghost hunters from the haunted ship or prevent the aircraft from sinking. Immerse yourself in a night of problem-solving and searching for clues throughout the 4,000 compartments in the LEX. Perfect for groups large and small, escape rooms at the USS Lexington offer an alternative and more mysterious (and fun) museum experience late into the evening.
Stay and Play
RETRO in downtown Corpus Christi houses arcade games, live music, a full cocktail bar, kitchen and rooftop patio, all in one establishment. Designed to be a one-stop destination for a night out on the town, each story offers something different. Grab pizza, a drink at the bar and arcade games on the first two levels and head to the rooftop for live music after.
Dessert, Please
Cap off an action-packed evening with an ice cream cone or waffle sundae at Sebastian’s Scoop Shop next to Mia Mia’s Pizzeria. The outdoor patio is perfect for the kids with a life-size connect four, jenga and more fun activities to partake in, and is open until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.
