Named “Attraction of the Year” by Alabama’s Tourism Department, OWA is the state’s newest major destination. Highlighting OWA’s 520 acres are charming Downtown OWA and the amusement-park thrills of The Park at OWA. OWA (oh-wah) is inspired by the Muscogee Creek word for “water.” OWA is home to a host of annual events, firework displays and holiday entertainment. The Park features 23+ thrilling attractions; hours for The Park can be found at VisitOWA.com/hours. Downtown OWA is an admission-free, pedestrian-only entertainment district, open daily featuring big names like Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen and Legends in Concert as well as coastal favorites like Murder Creek Distillery and coming soon, Gravity Island Watersports! You can even stay the night at the award-winning TownePlace Suites by Marriott. Future plans for OWA include a luxury RV park and indoor water park.
This place has such potential and I’m sure when more stores and restaurants come in it will be even better. We walked around and looked at the few things that they offered and ate at the Wahlburgers restaurant it was so nice and clean and not crowded at all. Can’t wait to come back when they have more to offer.

The Park at OWA is Coastal Alabama’s newest and largest amusement park with splash pad and 23 thrilling attractions!

Food options are available at the Veranda or the air-conditioned Shady Arbor. From individual day tickets to Season Passes to free non-rider entry, it’s simple to enjoy The Park on a budget. Park hours vary seasonally, so check the OWA website for Park hours.
Best staff at an amusement park! I saw several reviews about overweight people not being able to ride things and staff being rude so I was very nervous and didn’t buy a ticket for myself. After I got there I asked an employee and she assured me I wouldn’t have an issue and if I did they would gladly refund my money. I am SO GLAD I asked! I was able to ride everything there comfortably. The park was extremely clean and every employee was extremely nice and helpful. I was also very impressed with the games. They were all easy to win, nothing like typical fair games where you’re spending $50 to win a $1 teddy bear. The food line was the only long wait really but the food was worth it bc everything we got was so good. There weren’t places setup to get just something drink which was disappointing because we had to wait in the long food line just for water but that may have been due to Covid. Gift shop had plenty to choose from and lots of places to eat and shop outside the park. Lines for rides weren’t too bad and I think they would be even better if not for Covid regulations. I highly recommend this for all ages and will be coming back for sure.

Adventure Island is a family oriented facility with several ways to entertain: arcade, laser tag, go-karts, putt putt and more. There are 2 putt putt courses that are well maintained, shaded (at times) and enjoyable. There is some step climbing involved but it is not difficult.

Adventureland Theme Park has been the place for family fun in the Dothan area for 20 years. Adventureland is home to mini golf, bumper boats, go karts, batting cages, and a large arcade filled with exciting games. From Half Court Hoops to Skee-Ball to the NASCAR arcade game, there is a game here for everyone. People love winning tickets playing Deal or no Deal and Plinko too!
This place is wonderful and a lot of fun. It’s clean, well maintained and expertly staffed as the employees rotate and work all attractions as needed. We did everything except the batting cages and we had a blast! Time permitting, we will return if we are visiting the area again.

The Track Family Fun Park in Gulf Shores features fun for the whole family, ranging from thrill rides like the Skycoaster to family go-kart tracks, miniature golf, bumper boats, Kids Country rides, an arcade, and more. The Track’s signature attraction is the elevated, multi-level Wild Woody go-kart track, where drivers race up three and a half stories and then circle back down with an exciting drop at the bottom. The Wild Woody, Super Track and Family Track feature both double and single karts for racing. The Spinning Coaster made its debut in 2017. With rolling curves and cars that spin while zipping along the coaster’s track, the Spinning Coaster is a great pick for a first-time roller coaster experience.
My son challenged us to a round of putt putt. Went to The Track because they have several other things to do after the round of putt putt. From go-karts, blaster boats and super awesome arcade. This wasn’t my lucky night my son beat me bad, my wife beat me by one stroke. Let’s say I didn’t win but we had a lot of fun. It’s a pretty tuff course but my son did shoot par again I did not.
