What are some exciting places to visit in Panama City, Florida?

My mom and I are going to Panama City, FL for my dance nationals, and we will have 2 free days there. What could we do there that we would enjoy??? We were considering going to Gulf World Marine Park. We really don’t want to spend that much money. Help?

….look at “visitpanamacitybeach.com” for various activities on the beach.Check out Pier Park,and Coconut Creek Mini Golf and Maze,for a nostalgic mini golf “Goofy Golf” is on of the Original Mini Golf courses.
Also A glass bottom boat trip to shell Island is worth it.
