The 8 Best Fun Activities & Games in Corolla, North Carolina (NC)
You won’t find superstores or theme parks in Corolla. What you will find is a slow-paced vacation destination with vast, isolated stretches of beach. Corolla is the perfect place to gear down, relax and forget about your hurried life back home. While quiet dinners and strolls on the beach are mainstays of Corolla’s lifestyle, other more action-oriented recreation options include kayak tours, Jet Ski rentals, deep-sea fishing charters, and go-karting. No visit to Corolla is complete without climbing the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, a 158-foot high structure built in 1875 that still flashes at 20-second intervals to warn ships hugging the chain of barrier islands. Next on the must see list is the Whalehead Club, a 21,000-square-foot Art Nouveau home that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A truly unique experience in Corolla is taking a tour of the Spanish Mustang Reserve, where you can see wild Spanish Mustang horses grazing in their natural habitat. Horse lovers will also enjoy the Corolla Wild Horse Museum located within the restored schoolhouse of Corolla Village. Kids have an opportunity to paint their own wild Colonial Spanish Mustang. For some great family fun, play the Grass Course, a miniature golf course on all natural grass.

Kites are the main focus of the shop, but there is something for everyone, in every price range and for every age. We weren’t necessarily there for a kite but still managed to leave with some good items. The layout of this store is great. It’s not overstuffed with product and what is there is good quality. The owners’ daughter was friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our conversation.

We visited Corolla Adventure Golf and bumper cars earlier today and had a spectacular time. We saw some ratings from 2016 that weren't too encouraging but we decided to give it a try. We checked in ( we had a coupon for buy 18 holes get 9 holes free) and paid $10 each adult. There are several colored golf balls to choose from, and various size clubs as you would expect. 4 vending machines are available with drinks and snacks (although 2 were out of order) There are 3 courses to choose from consisting of 9 holes each. Each course has a couple of "easy" holes and some more challenging ones. The putting greens are in great shape and the course itself is beautifully maintained. We arrived about 10 am and finished around 12pm. The course was getting crowded by the time we were leaving at noon. There was only 2 other groups when we arrived, so morning seems to be a good time to visit, at least in our experience. We had a great time, and would definitely visit again.
