This is wonderful winter wonderland! Amazing views of lights to get you in the Christmas spirit! I…read morehave not been in here in a while. They were not doing this when I use to live here. My understanding, they recently started doing this 7-10 years ago. Apparently it gets better and better each year. I found out it was featured on a hallmark movie Christmas in Mississippi for reference. But apparently they have been to this amazing event for a while now. Especially since they remodeled the park. And the icing on the cake. The new attraction of the new aquarium. Located in the heart of downtown Gulfport, in Jones Park on the corner of Highway 90 and Highway 49 at Gulfport harbor. They do not have any parking spaces next to the event. However, they do offer close proximity parking to either walk over from the west side of the marina. East parking in the aquarium garage. They offer free parking and shuttle/buses (provided by your local CTA for both ends. It's a free service but welcome a little Christmas gift if you desire. I recommend parking at the garage since it is well lit and easy to walk if you desire since they built the new overpass from the aquarium to the park. The west end has plenty of parking but not as well lit but closer to the event. In my opinion. Speaking of the bus service, they have plenty of them and service is great and quick. Do not be discouraged if you are waiting for a while for them. Cause you will not. A few minutes tops. That was my experience. I noticed that if you have person that requires extra attention. You can drop them off at the front of the park. And they will gladly assist you. Also guide you to find the best place to park. They encourage you to have the best experience possible. Admittance fee can vary on what day you go. They do accept cards. No discount at the booth that I am aware of. They have a train service that will take you around the park and enjoy the park lights. If you do not want to walk around the whole time. Please reach out to the ticket office for details. They also off few rides in the park (carnival) and delicious food (fair type) hot chocolate, and hot coffee ( or cold/frozen too) . They have plenty of the upscale portable restrooms on site for your convenience. Definitely recommend check it out if you are on the coast. Nice little trip to the coast and especially exploring what other great restaurants and attractions the hosts. Especially plan accordingly to go in the early evening to get the full experience of Christmas lights and weather permitting. Per this article, remember to dress appropriately, it can get kind of chilly in the evening since the temperature drops and of you get breeze. Fun for all ages and great group or family event. In my opinion. The staff is amazing and willing to help you out with your stay. World class experience! Service with a smile!

Decent selection for movies when in the area. Reserve seating so nice to get tickets in advance…read more Typical concessions options but do have a bar too if you prefer something else. The seating is nice power recliners but could use a few updates as lots of leather was cracking and the chairs squeaked when reclining could disrupt the movie.

Normal movie concessions. We got a big popcorn, a fountain drink and an icee. No complaints and I liked that they gave us smaller bags to distribute the popcorn for the kids. I love that they had a ton of butter stations for the popcorn and it was pretty clean overall. We did go first thing in the morning, so YMMV lol. The seats were recliners, but looked and felt worn down. One of my kiddos couldn't even recline their chair so we swapped. Not a deal breaker but a little disappointing nonetheless. Overall, I'd say this is a decent theater.

I've been coming to Biloxi for years and somehow have never been in town at the same time as the…read moreShuckers, until today. It's a small park, and not a bad seat in the park. I brought my 6 year old niece and we had home plate box seats in Sec. 102, Row 4. The net now goes all the way down baseline into outfield, so Ticketmaster seating chart is inaccurate. Had I known that, I would've bought the cheapest seat towards the outfield. Tickets for my game, June 2026, seemed to run $11-30. It's easy to enter and exit the park. There's a small pro shop and plenty of food and drink vendors but prices are high, on level with what you'd pay at a MLB game. $5 water, $10 hotdog, ball caps were $30-50, etc. Their website seems to offer a lot of game night promos, it was 2 for 1 night when we went but finding out what was on special was difficult when I did finally get answers after asking 3 staffers, it really wasn't a 2 for 1, more like combo deals. Our game ended up being suspended due to weather but they offered the opportunity to return for free to a future game this season. In the end, the experience was OK. In the future I'd come back but I'd buy the cheapest ticket and eat beforehand.

Parking is easy and cheap. The ticket prices are reasonable. The Shuckers have a lot of giveaways and family nights and fireworks every Friday. The atmosphere is very friendly and local and laid-back. We go whenever we can and we always have a good time. The food is actually pretty good. Of course it's a little pricey, because it's ballpark food. Lots of food to choose from - hot dogs (of course), pizza, chicken, BBQ, nachos, popcorn, the usual stuff you expect to see. Lots of beer options, draft beers or cans, in whatever variety you like.

With a giant mound they can slide or roll down to soft AstroTurf, they can rumble and tumble while parents enjoy a beverage, worry-free. The outdoor space also has ample seating for groups small or large and lovely porch swings for maximum relaxation. The interior is just as lovely. The tvs are generously sized so you can be sure to catch that sporting event you wanted to see. They also have two golf simulator rooms you can rent. We haven't tried them yet but it's definitely on the to-do list. So far I have tried four of their drinks: two of the three seltzers, the sour and the Mexican beer. They're all fantastic and fairly priced. I have also tried the spicy boiled peanuts and the pretzel and those are an excellent addition to the drinks. The staff are friendly and welcoming and are always happy to answer questions about the products. This is a great place and you should definitely check it out!

First off the idea of this place is fantastic. My visit was not as exciting. So let's break it…read moredown. Location and layout was great. Beer offerings were mostly good albeit some were better than others but that is purely a personal taste opinion so no judgement. If you are a man you will probably be treated better I witnessed several of the female staff clearly not responsive to female customers. Under no circumstances open a tab. Mine was riddled with tons of incorrect charges thank God I was not drunk or I would not have caught it. Side note it was corrected once I demonstrated I was very much sober and not happy. Food was mediocre and they were out of everything. Obviously most are there to drink but if you offer something have it in stock and serve it warm or properly. Outside area is interesting but I wonder why they want kids there. The brewed soft drink was a strange cream soda like beverage honestly it was not bad. I will return because I believe time will help them work out the kinks. It was not 5 stars but it was not a 1 either so hopefully it will improve.

The first annual St. Clare Oyster Festival was fun!…read more I discovered this festival by accident. I happened to be driving down US 90 when I stopped at a traffic light. In the neutral ground (median for those of you reading this in Mississippi) was a sign advertising this festival. I couldn't find much information online, but I figured, what the hell? Later that day, my youngest and I decided we'd give it a try. This was a typical Catholic Church festival. There were lots of crafts for sale, bounce houses for the kids, and a stage with bands. Considering that the festival had Oyster in its name, the oyster offerings were pretty sparse. I'll cut them some slack since it was the first year, but I expected more than two or three different oyster dishes. We did get two dozen charbroiled from the Silver Slipper and those were pretty good. I consider it a testament to my parenting skills that my youngest loves charbroiled oysters as much as I do. After eating oysters my kid decided she needed something sweet. There was a container of cupcakes that had a $5 price tag. I thought that was kind of steep for one cupcake and I was right. That was for the whole box and they couldn't sell them individually. So guess who ended up with a dozen cupcakes? We had a lot of fun at this festival. I hope next year is just as fun. If you see the signs, I recommend you visit this family friendly festival in the town of waves.
