Temperatures Are Up: Here’s Our Top Five Cool Down Countdown

The southern summer sizzle is on, so here's our top five ways to cool down at Broadway at the Beach!

5.) The Great Indoors

Whether it's the depths of the deep blue sea or into the great unknown, you can escape the scorching temperatures with a trip to Ripley's Aquarium and WonderWorks. At Ripley's Aquarium, sharks, seahorses, stingrays, urchins and even mermaids will fascinate from the bottom of the ocean right in front of your eyes! At WonderWorks, you can stay in out of the heat and stand up against hurricane force winds, control a NASA spacecraft and even lay on a bed of 3,500 nails!

The summer isn't always about the rising temperatures, but also about the afternoon downpours. What better way for you and your friends to escape Mother Nature's woes than at Backstage Escape Games!

4.) Cool Down at Dave & Buster's

Looking for food, fun and a cool spot to hang without having to hurry through the heat while walking from place to place? Dave & Buster's offers all the food, fun and games all under one roof! From their tempting appetizers and ice cold drinks to a giant game of Pacman and Mario Cart, you and your whole crew can beat the heat while trying to beat each other in a new family, friendly atmosphere!

3.) Lighten Up & Eat Up

When it comes to noshing during the summer months, Broadway at the Beach offers several options for not-so heavy meals that are perfect for fueling up as you're trying to cool down on a summer day or night! From salads at Hard Rock Café, to subs at Extreme Pizza, to classic burgers at Johnny Rockets and fresh seafood from Landry's or Joe's Crab Shack, you're sure to find dishes to delight your whole crowd without piling on the extra pounds.

2.) Stay Hydrated & Out of the Heat

It's safe to say we all know that staying hydrated is the best way to keep from melting during the summer months, and when it comes to sipping on something sweet, Broadway is the place you can't beat! Whether you're in the mood for craft brews from Liberty Brewery & Grill or American Tap House or something carefully crafted from the top shelf at Good Time Charley's, Senor Frogs or Wet Willie's, you can stay hydrated all summer (and all year) long while enjoying the cool company of your best friends and family!
