Destinations / North America

Introducing the Gulf Coast’s newest attraction: Hippie Fish! Family travelers are invited to experience this new site, in Mississippi’s historic Centennial Plaza Resort, for a day full of fun activities.

 

The Gulfport-based attraction features two 18-hole putting courses, a full-service restaurant, world-class arcades and more across two levels of entertainment. Both golf courses were designed by Harris Mini Golf and lie beneath live oak trees. Each hole is packed with unexpected twists, challenging shots and more.

Even when the weather is bad, Hippie Fish features an indoor option for those wanting to experience something beyond the beach but still feel connected to the coastal atmosphere.

 

Kids will be spoiled with choice in the indoor arcade, boasting 130 arcade and redemption games, as well as more than 230 player positions. From games of skill, immersive virtual reality and beyond, there’s something for everyone.

For a lunch or dinner break, Hippie Fish is home to an on-site restaurant serving coastal, casual fare. Think nachos stacked high with sauteed shrimp, crawfish, jalapenos, pico de gallo, sour cream and guacamole; over-the-top burgers; baskets; and crispy flatbreads.

 

Hippie Fish is now open Sunday–Thursday, 11 a.m.–10 p.m., and Friday–Saturday, 11 a.m.–11 p.m.

What is a Salvaged Stay and How to Plan One

Salvaged stays are an emerging trend in travel that let family travelers enjoy a unique way to experience a destination. Rather than staying in a destination’s big-ticket resort hotel or a cookie-cutter vacation rental, travelers look to the world’s repurposed properties, like abandoned mills and defunct train stations-turned-hotels that have found new life. These renovated properties are a lesson in sustainability and give families a chance to discover a unique view of the history of a destination.
