From the Desk of Lak Vohra, Editor of PartyDigest.com:
I wanna give thanks to the Lady Entrepreneurs of Panama City Girls who like to take the party indoors for the sake of another business – thanks for taking one for the team ladies! We love you and can’t wait to make a special cigar just for you! Playboy TV is watching you!
Each year, millions of people visit the Panama City Beach area of the Sunshine State. They are mainly coming to do all the splendid things that nature provides along the Gulf of Mexico, but they also seek out additional activities to help balance the trip. Most visitors will not end up spending all day outdoors, especially as the weather heats up and tropical storms roll in. The good news is that there are plenty of things people can do when visiting the area to help create a comfortable balance for all ages.
“We have a lot of amazing things happening at Wonderworks, and we are glad that so many people think of us when they are ready for indoor fun,” said Darren Grooms, general manager at WonderWorks Panama City Beach. “Whether you want to plan your day around an exciting adventure here at the upside-down house or add it to your itinerary when an indoor break is needed, we are ready for all visitors.”
The Panama City Beach area is filled with so many fun activities for families to explore that it’s a good idea to know ahead of time some of the options to add to your itinerary. Here is a list of things to consider doing when visiting the area so there’s a balance of fun, memories, and ways to keep cool:
Indoor activities. It is imperative that everyone visiting the area have at least one indoor activity in mind because they are likely to want and need it. Kids especially will need a break from the sun and heat, making an indoor activity ideal. WonderWorks Panama City Beach is the top indoor destination for fun, learning, and hands-on activities that people will not want to miss. Explore four floors of exhibits and attractions that are sure to spark the imagination.
Beach time. No trip to the Florida Panhandle would be complete without spending time at the beach. Grab some snacks and sunscreen and hit the beach. Those looking for a pro tip will want to go to the beach in the evening when the sun goes down. It creates the most pleasant and unexpected experience. Those who wish to stay after sunset can plan a bonfire on the beach in designated areas for a unique way to wrap up the day.
Water Sports. There are plenty of water sports to consider, with something for all families. Options abound, including jet skiing, boating, fishing, dolphin tours, paddle boarding, and snorkeling. Whether doing these with a local guide or heading out alone, plenty of fun awaits in the refreshing Florida water.
Cool Springs. Those looking to cool off and keep it outdoors will want to plan a stop at a nearby spring. Florida is home to more fresh springs than any other place in the world. The springs stay cool all year, around 72 degrees Fahrenheit, and remain crystal clear. Check out Williford Springs, Cypress Spring, Morrison Spring, or Vortex Spring for the coolest outdoor activity around.
State Parks. Some great state parks in the area provide ample opportunity for fun in the sun. Don’t miss Saint Andrew State Park or Camp Helen State Park; both offer beach activities and other nature exploration opportunities.
“Spend some time at the beach in the morning and when it heats up and you’ve had enough, come inside WonderWorks for a fantastic afternoon of adventure,” said Amanda Hinzman, sales manager at WonderWorks Panama City Beach. “We provide the best indoor fun for families because there’s truly something for everyone.”
WonderWorks Panama City Beach offers fun and educational opportunities all year long. They include laser tag, a ropes course, the Xtreme 360 Bikes, other physical challenges, a virtual reality Grave Digger monster truck ride, the Bubble Lab, extreme weather experiences, a look at space discovery, illusion art, and much more. There are also team bonding activities for groups such as field trips, sports teams, bus tours, student activities excursions, etc. Advanced registration is required to receive a discounted group rate, which can be made online at: https://www.wonderworksonline.com/panama-city-beach/groups/.

Located just a handful of hours from New York City, Central New York is filled with hidden gems. Visitors and locals alike are able to enjoy world-famous waterfalls, state parks, exciting attractions, and the bustling city of Syracuse at the heart of it all. Once people learn of all the unique things to do in the Syracuse area, they can’t resist adding them to their New York itinerary. Family fun awaits around every corner, so it’s a good idea to start planning your next vacation or stay-cation.
“There are so many great activities to do in this area!” said Jon Cascella, general manager at WonderWorks Destiny. “We are thrilled to be one of the places many consider a local gem. It’s great to plan lots of activities, but being able to add one like WonderWorks that provides a fun indoor place for the family is gold.”
Those planning a visit to the area will want to consider these family fun activities that are locally renowned:
- WonderWorks. This is a must-do for all families and STEM fans. The indoor amusement park for the mind features activities and hands-on exhibits that everyone will love. With over 100 hands-on exhibits and the World’s Largest Suspended Indoor Ropes Course, families will stay busy for hours learning and laughing. Challenge each other on the Canyon Climb, check out the Extreme Weather Zone, learn about sound and light, and step into simulators like the Wonder Coasters and 4D XD Motion Theater. WonderWorks is conveniently located inside Destiny USA, New York’s largest shopping, dining, and entertainment destination.
- Rosamond Gifford Zoo. What family wouldn’t love a day at the zoo? Check out the indoor and outdoor exhibits, visit the many animals, and more. There is much to explore here, including wildlife trails, an elephant preserve, a wide variety of animals, and a café to grab lunch. The zoo hosts many exciting events throughout the year including runs, educational talks, and the popular Brew at the Zoo.
- Onondaga Lake Park. Spend some time outdoors at this beautiful park that features over eight miles of trails. There’s also a concrete area open to inline skaters, skateboarders, and BMX bikers, multiple playgrounds, bike rentals, and more. Plenty of fun for everyone can be found here, so be sure to take a camera because there are some excellent photo opportunities. Plus, you won’t want to miss Onondaga Lake Park’s annual Lights on the Lake drive-through, one of Central New York’s favorite holiday traditions.
- Local Museums. It’s always nice to expand one’s horizons by checking out a local museum. Be sure to stop by the Everson Museum of Art to see the permanent and temporary collections and possibly take in some of their special events. There are over 11,000 works of art to explore.
- Quirky Stops. Some quirky little stops help make a trip more interesting, such as the 24-second shot clock marker in Armory Square. The clock honors the rule change in basketball that is said to have saved the National Basketball Association. While visiting that one, several other historical markers are within walking distance, including the banks of the Erie Canal. Syracuse is also home to the world’s only upside-down traffic light, where the green light is on top and the red light is on the bottom.
“Family fun abounds in this area of the state,” said Paige Perry, sales manager at WonderWorks Destiny. “Plan a whole day of playing, making memories, and exploring. Have a great itinerary, but keep a little time open just in case something unexpected pops up!”
There are many exciting improvements and additions on the horizon for the city of Syracuse, from the I-81 Viaduct Project to the development of a brand-new aquarium. So, whether you live there or are planning a vacation to beautiful Central New York, Syracuse is the place to be.

It also offers group rates, birthday parties, scout weekends, homeschool days, and corporate event packages. For more information, visit the site at: https://www.wonderworksonline.com/destiny.

Budget-friendly weekend getaways: travel smarter in 2025
A weekend getaway doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. With the right approach, you can enjoy a refreshing escape without overspending. From finding the best travel deals to making the most of loyalty programs, there are plenty of ways to stretch your budget while still experiencing a fantastic trip. The Consumer Experts at www.Coupons.com have compiled their top tips on how you can travel smarter in 2025 without sacrificing quality.
Book last-minute deals for big savings. If you’re flexible with your travel dates and destinations, last-minute deals can help you save significantly. Airlines and hotels often slash prices to fill unsold seats and rooms, making it possible to grab a discounted rate just days before departure. Websites like Coupons.com offer promo codes and travel deals for major airlines and hotel chains, helping you secure the best prices on short notice.
Bundle your travel for deeper discounts. Booking your flight, hotel and car rental together can lead to serious savings. Travel websites often offer exclusive discounts when you bundle services, reducing the overall cost of your trip. Many online travel agencies, including Expedia and Priceline, provide package deals that can help you cut expenses while still enjoying a comfortable stay. Using available coupon codes can add even more savings on top of already discounted rates.
Maximize loyalty rewards and cashback. Frequent travelers can benefit from loyalty programs that offer points, discounts and even free stays. Many airlines, hotel chains and car rental companies provide perks to returning customers. If you use a rewards credit card, you can earn cashback or travel points on your bookings.
Explore low-cost destinations. Some destinations naturally offer better value than others. Cities like Austin, Nashville and Charleston provide a mix of culture, history and entertainment without the high price tag of major tourist hubs like New York or Los Angeles. If you’re looking for a nature-focused retreat, national parks like Great Smoky Mountains or Shenandoah offer stunning landscapes with low-cost accommodation options, including campgrounds and budget-friendly lodges.
Find affordable accommodations. Hotels aren’t the only option when it comes to lodging. Budget-conscious travelers can explore alternatives like vacation rentals, hostels and even house swaps. Many platforms, including Airbnb and Vrbo, offer discounted stays for last-minute bookings or extended weekends. Checking for available promo codes before booking can further reduce costs, making it easier to find a comfortable place to stay within your budget.
Alexander Ketter, Consumer Expert at www.Coupons.com, commented:
“Weekend getaways don’t have to be expensive if you know where to look for savings. By taking advantage of last-minute deals, booking travel bundles, and leveraging loyalty rewards, you can enjoy an affordable trip without compromising on quality. The key is to plan strategically and make the most of available discounts.”
