8 Free Things to do in Gulfport That You Shouldn't Miss
Gulfport, Mississippi, one half of the Gulfport-Biloxi section of the Gulf Coast, was very nearly destroyed during Hurricane Katrina. The city has been gradually reconstructed, and the surrounding natural areas have been rebuilding themselves as well. Visit the barrier islands that form Gulf Islands National Seashore, a parkland along the Mississippi Sound. A ferry runs from Gulf Port to Ship Island, with unspoiled white beaches and tidal pools, boardwalks and historic sites to explore.

For a free attraction staffed by volunteers, this place is amazing. Various elaborate train displays ranging from HO to ride-on trains. Our grandchildren and their friends loved the whole museum, especially the self-propelled cars. Plenty for youngsters to see and do. A great place for a birthday party.
4. Chandeleur Brewing Company

Reviewed By DarkonIV - Saint Peters, United States
We sat at the bar and sampled several beers, learned some things about their beers and the local lore & scene, and left with a small collection of beers to enjoy later, some branded glassware and memories of a fantastic visit. Music props to Ms. Hadley Hill who was fantastic. The scene vibe is industrial chic, the view into the brewery operations is nice even for a small brewery operation like this. The bar staff was helpful and friendly. You can bring in food to enjoy with your samples or pints as food service is partnered with and provided by a nearby restaurant (will review it positivity on their TA entry).

The welcome centre has pamphlets for a wide variety of attractions across St. Petersburg and surrounding area. Probably the best thing about the welcome centre is the great local volunteers who staff the centre. They will provide a vast amount of information about places of interest that may not be advertised. The volunteers are all very friendly and helpful. It is open based on volunteer availability so check the posted hours.

You can certainly stop by to see the sky-high rocker. You can also take some time to explore the showroom full of beautiful custom-made furniture. There are huge pieces, complete dining and bedroom sets and small items, rocking horses and magazine racks. Then take a few more minutes and visit the factory. You might catch them making one of their beautiful rockers. You can choose from many styles. We have one of their rockers and a custom designed bookcase that we enjoy every day. So stop for the novelty or order something hand made for lasting enjoyment!
