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.

Visitors and nature lovers alike will marvel at the natural attractions that can be found in the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge in nearby Gulf Shores. This sprawling 6,000-plus-acre wildlife refuge preserves the coastline's native flora and fauna as well as coyotes, foxes, American alligators and countless species of migratory birds. And in addition to those visually stunning inhabitants, you will also encounter some creatures that are a little out of the ordinary. These include the Alabama beach mouse which is on the endangered species list. You can also get even closer to all this natural beauty by hitting one of the many trails that allow you to explore the park at your own pace.

The long and winding history of Mobile is everywhere. The city offers many chances to see and learn about what all came before, but the USS Alabama Historical Trail offers a chance to see it for yourself on your own long and winding journey. Stroll by antebellum homes, historical museums, and even old cemeteries. Plus, as you move along this recreation trail, you will be able to enjoy some of Mobile's natural amenities like live oak trees and blooming azaleas.

The love between you and your sweetheart is a feeling, but it's also a chemical reaction that gives you that indescribable feeling. So, it makes sense that science is a big part of your special love equation. Explore even more science when the two of you visit the Gulf Coast Exploreum Science Center on a romantic date. This facility features various exhibits that will appeal to both kids and adults. A fun, interactive and inviting environment make learning feel more like an adventure!
