Turning a restaurant into a destination
While mom and dad enjoy drinks while watching the big game on the patio, their kids are off on a self-guided, safe adventure overhead. More and more restaurants along coastal destination and tourist hotspots are maximizing the guest experience by broadening the type and number of attractions they offer. Gone are the days when a single claw machine and arcade golf game constituted “entertainment.” This new brand of restaurant are keeping guests on property longer. Better yet, they’re continually bringing them back as repeat customers.
Entertainment hotspot in Pensacola Beach
Laguna’s Beach Bar & Grill in Pensacola Beach, FL, has become an entertainment destination. Located on the Santa Rosa Sound, Laguna’s has maximized every bit of it’s square footage through watersports, attractions, live entertainment and retail shopping. RCI Adventure Products has been fortunate enough to be a part of this incredible transformation. Laguna’s features a Sky Trail® ropes course, complete with Sky Rail® ziplines, a Sky Tykes ropes course for kids 4-and-under, outdoor Clip ‘N Climb climbing structure and a Sky Tour® zipline experience. The zipline attraction takes guests on a smooth, long ride far above the patio, live music stage and go-kart track. It integrates seamlessly with the Sky Trail®, allowing guest to move from one attraction to another.
