5 places to visit while in DeSoto County for youth sports tournaments

Youth sports tournaments are a big deal in DeSoto County, Mississippi, and we sure love hosting them! If you’re looking for family friendly restaurants and activities to do when your athlete isn’t in action, we’ve got you covered.

1. Enjoy breakfast at Staks Pancake Kitchen - Your tastebuds will thank you for visiting this Southaven restaurant located at Silo Square. Your kids will love the Birthday Cake Pancakes topped with a vanilla glaze and rainbow sprinkles. The Classic “Stak” is light, fluffy and filled with flavor, making it the perfect option for the picky eaters in your life. For those young athletes that need a hearty meal before their big game, Staks also has omelets, french toast, grilled cheese sandwiches and breakfast tacos. 

2. Have lunch or dinner at OB Pizza Co. - This isn’t just regular ol’ pizza! Located in Olive Branch, this local establishment takes pies to another level. The combinations created by top-notch chef Jon Ma will make this lunch or dinner hard to forget. Try the Hungry Man if your kiddos need a good post-game meal to refuel or if you’re feeding the whole fam. There is an outdoor patio, as well, if you would like to enjoy your food in the fresh air. 

3. Jump around at Urban Air Adventure & Trampoline Park - Do you have kids along for the ride that need to burn off some energy while their siblings play ball? Urban Air is the perfect place to do so. Not only can they jump from one enormous trampoline to the next, but this park has a ropes course, bumper cars and tons of other fun activities. 

4. Bowl a strike at Strike Zone Bowling Lanes - Strike Zone Bowling Lanes in Southaven is THE place for family fun. With 32 lanes, this facility can host your whole crew. If you have little ones in tow who would prefer to play arcade games, they have those too! 

5. Visit Bolin Grove Farms – Spring means sports, but it also means fresh, seasonal fruit. You can pick your own produce at this Hernando farm. From blueberries and blackberries to nectarines and raspberries, you can get it all here. 

 

 

You and your family certainly won’t be twiddling your thumbs or suffering from “hanger” when at the top of the Magnolia State for youth sports action. Now, let’s play ball!
