No need to drive all the way to a theme park for some family bonding time! There are tons of family-friendly things to do in Brandon. Whether you are looking to chill or for some adrenaline-pumping fun, there is something for every weekend.
Check out our master guide below on the best family-friendly things to do in Brandon and let us know what your favorite is!
? Top Golf
One of our favorite things to do in Brandon is to visit Top Golf! Whether you are a pro golfer or can barely hit the ball, this spot is fun for everyone. Play one of many game styles and hit balls in the designated spots for scoring. The screens in your group’s bay will track your score, great for the competitive ones in the family!
If golf is not your thing, there is also a state of the art game indoor room with video games, pool, and other activities if you’re looking to escape the heat or the rain.
We love this spot for large groups because of their large high top tables and couch areas for big parties. Each bay gets a designated server to help you out with the golfing system and to take care of your food and drink needs.
Their huge menu features yummy brunch, snacks, and dinner meals like burgers, tacos, and salads!
