Art aficionados will most definitely not want to miss the opportunity to take in the incredible works and exhibits that are on display at the Mobile Museum of Art. The art that is presented here spans several historical periods, the most notable of which are the ones culled from the 18th century. Also, the rotating exhibits are always highly compelling as they not only offer various artists the chance to have their work seen in a highly-regarded spotlight, but they also help broaden the museum's already far-reaching artistic scope.

Mobile Ballet is the Gulf Coast's premiere ballet company and school. This group of highly talented performers works hard all year long to bring you an impressive schedule of events. Among some of the ballet's most recent performances include Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, and Carnival of the Dance. Also, the Mobile Ballet School offers classes for aspiring dancers who range in age from 3-years-old to adults. When you are in the audience for one of the ballet's many performances, you will be immediately struck by not only the brilliant dancing but also the detailed sets and meticulous costumes.

It's great when the kids can get some great exercise and have a great time doing it. That is exactly what they will experience when you take them to Mobile's Xtreme Paintball. This sport isn't for the fainthearted, as it is not played indoors but out on an expansive and highly challenging outdoor field. Whether it's a birthday party, a special family occasion or just because, the whole family will love the intensity and the non-stop adrenaline rush that a round of extreme paintball at Xtreme Paintball can bring. Field hours on the weekends vary depending on the number of participants.

If your plans include heading outdoors for a great day of fishing on the water, you owe it to yourself to experience the natural beauty of Polecat Bay. This breathtaking body of water is located near Mobile and connects to the Gulf of Mexico. Along the way, there are many places to prepare, fuel and launch your boat out into the waters for your aquatic adventure.
