* In addition to all tha beach activities (swimming, fishing, boat charter etc) a hike and picnic at the Gulf State Park would be a great outdoor family activity.
* Also the Orange Beach Waterfront Park (on Wolf Bay) has a 400’ fishing pier with covered pavilions and picnic tables; restrooms; and a large kid’s park.
The grounds are beautifully landscaped.
* Take a dolphin spotting cruise. The waterways around Orange Beach have a large dolphin population.
There are several dolphin cruise companies, children and adults enjoy this type of outing.
* Hire bicycles and discover the town on two wheels.

My recommendations are the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, The Track Family Recreation Center for go-carts and arcade, mini-golf at Pirates Island, a sightseeing walk on the Gulf State Park Pier the longest in the Gulf of Mexico, a ride on the Ferris wheel at The Wharf, a ride on the roller coaster at Waterville USA, a hike in the Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge and shopping at Tanger Outlet Center.
