Summer Fun for the Family in Ft. Myers

• July 11, 2014

The amusement park is a uniquely American summer experience immortalized in our popular culture.  Remember this Mariah Carey video? 

If you’re staying in Ft. Myers this summer, be sure to check out these local amusement hot spots, which are sure to thrill, or perhaps even soak!

Sun Splash Family Water Park

Sun Splash is one of Florida’s largest waterparks and is renowned for its 14 acres of waterslides and great variety of attractions.  Here you’ll experience the thrilling Cape Fear, which plunges guests into a tunnel of darkness as well as more placid slides such as the Pro Racers for kids.  A unique feature is the sand-dollar walk, which tests participants’ agility. 


 

Zoomers Amusement Park

Step right up!  Zoomers Amusement Park has it all!  Open seven days a week, Zoomers offers a fantastic array of games, rides and attractions including go-karts, mini-golf, mini-bowling, arcade games, a mini-rollercoaster and a tilt-a-whirl. 
 
The go-karts at Zoomers are exceptionally fun.  A special slide track has been designed to simulate the experience of driving on ice.  A track full of twists and turns makes this one of the most thrilling go-kart experiences around.
 

Castle Mini-Golf

Simply put, Castle Mini-Golf is Florida’s best miniature golf course, holding top spots on Trip Advisor and Yelp.  This lush and immersive course features waterfalls, water fountains and magnificent tropical plants. 
 
A poppy colour scheme is also something enthusiasts of American theme parks might appreciate, from purple ‘fairways’ to golf balls that span every colour of the rainbow.



The theme of this summer is fun at the BEST WESTERN PLUS Beach Resort Hotel.  For even more fun, check out Holiday Water Sports Rentals, located right in front of our hotel on the beach, where you can rent wave runners, sailboats, kayaks and paddleboards.  Book your stay with us today!
