Especially For KidsLocated a mile east of College Road on Oleander Drive, Jungle Rapids, a multi-faceted amusement park, is open all year. Offering go-karts, laser tag, kid’s jungle, climbing wall, golf, lazy river, kiddie area, million-gallon wave pool, and a water park with slides, Jungle Rapids is fun for the entire family. Tregembo Animal ParkOn the way to Pleasure Island, chances are the kids will probably talk you into stopping at Tregembo Animal Park on Carolina Beach Road. If you don’t have any kids, stop anyhow and enjoy viewing more than 90 species of live animals including giraffe, lion, tiger, zebra, bear, monkeys, wallaby, camel and everybody’s favorites - pot-bellied pigs, lemurs and pygmy goats. A word of caution - some of the attractions listed above may be closed or have restricted hours during the off-season, so be sure to call first if you’re planning a visit during that period. |
