Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 119 reviews
A paddle from BeachnRiver Kayak Rentals self-guided tour begins at the Bon Secour River --- a river rich with history, wildlife and plenty of photo opportunities. You embark, then return, to a tree-shaded, privately-owned white-sand beach launch. As captain of your own Eco Tour, you choose where to explore in Single or Double Sit-on-Top Recreational kayaks. You will paddle through a long stretch of shady, "still" water (meaning free of currents,wind and wakes) observing native flora and wildlife such as turtles, cormorants, pelicans, mullet and occasionally dolphins. In a typical three-hour paddle you will also observe a unique river culture that showcases tree houses, festive personal docks and homes ranging from "river shacks" to Southern Gothic mansions. It is possible to purchase freshly-caught shrimp directly from a shrimper docked outside his home! This kayak tour appeals to beginners and independent folks who yearn to experience a water sport seeking uniqueness and tranquility.

Our teen girls loved the H & M when you first pull into the outlet center. I even found some pieces ( less than $20 outfit) and changed immediately after being out in the rain and 90 plus degree weather for hours. It was refreshing before the long ride home. Crocs store had great sales, and we went in two of the restrooms and they were very clean and overall well maintained all stores had masking signage and number of persons Allowed posted on store signage or door helpers available to deal with the new Covid rules. We went in the Nile store and Forever 21 and made purchases. The Rock and Roll Sushi was hectic and the staff behind the counter appeared very stressed, so we left. We went and picked up sushi from the Publix across the street and all was good. Overall and enjoyable time and we keep coming back to these amazing outlets when we are in the area. Smoothies at peach wave were good too. The staff was super friendly and helpful there!

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.

To copy a title of one of Tina Turner's songs, this was "Simply the Best"! This was an awesome concert! Theater, lighting, seating, and set made you feel like you were in Las Vegas. The people impersonating Tina Turner, Elvis, and Michael Jackson made you feel like they were really those people. They were very talented musically, their mannerisms, speech, costumes were spot on. I felt like that was the real Michael Jackson on stage. Highly recommend!

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.

We go about every two weeks when we have the grandkids and the experience is always the same, "GREAT"! All the employees are super friendly, the facilities are super clean! We always get the pizza deal from the restaurant (on site) and the kids just love it - My wife and I also eat in the restaurant quite often when we are out and about and the food is always fresh and hot - They have a really good selection on the menu and something for everyone - The bar area is also nice and refreshing - Never a problem, always a great experience and a really good bang for your buck - Tell them "BoxCar Willy" sent you by.

Love the atmosphere here! No admission necessary, this is a cool spot to visit to enjoy the theme park surrounding without the cost. There a several small shops, a public restroom facility, a few restaurants, an ice cream shop and an arcade, plus there’s a nice little courtyard area where you can catch some of the OWA acts and activities depending on day and time of visit. We’ll be returning this weekend to enjoy live music, GLOWA and a fireworks show all without paying park admission!
