What are some places around the Cleveland area that have activities similar to fun n stuff? |
Travel Info Like cosmic bowling, roller skating, laser tag, that sort of thing. Or any suggestions of something a bunch of 17 year olds would like to do on a Friday or Saturday night? Travel Tips I know when I was 17 (which wasn't long ago - I'm 21) my friends and I really liked to explore Cleveland and do different things. We lived out in the suburbs, but we take excursions to neighborhoods and parts of Cleveland we had never been to. It depends on where you live I guess - but the suburb we lived in was not much fun and there wasn't a lot to do. Here are some things I remember doing: -We'd drive out to Ohio City and Little Italy to try new restaurants and new food, and walk around the neighborhood. Ohio City is esepecially an AWESOME place to visit on Saturday afternoons when the West Side Market is open, because it gets so busy and its really fun to people watch. The whole surrounding neighborhood is cool to explore than, because all the unique shops are open then too. www.ohiocity.com -One night we went downtown and took the Rapid from Tower City to Shaker Square to get some lite dinner and see a movie. The theater there is really cool, the Rapid is fun, and its a lot of fun being on the Square. www.shakersquare.net -Seeing live music at the Grog Shop in Coventry Village. Its a really cool music venue, and the neighborhood is really funky. Mongolian Barbecue and Tommy's are really fun restaurantIts I'd recommend. Coventry is where all the college students in Cleveland hang out. It reminds me of Greenwhich Village in NYC. www.coventryvillage.org -This was a little closer to home for us - but we would pack food, take some music, and go to Huntington Beach in Bay Village to watch the sunset. It is a pretty popular thing for teenagers to do around there. http://www.clemetparks.com -In downtown Cleveland at the Mall (not the shopping center, but the large grassy lawn) they have regular events sponsored by Parkworks in the summer. Free outdoor movies (really cool), free music, free use of lawn games like bocce ball and badmitton. Check out the parkworks website for more info. I highly recommend the movie nights. http://www.parkworks.org/meetonthemall.h... -Sometimes my friends would get dressed up and go to the Warehouse District on W.6th Street. We couldn't go to clubs, but on evenings we were bored we'd go there. Most of the restaurants are a little pricey, but we'd like to go just for the ambiance and share apitizers instead. The Metropolitan Cafe has really good gourmet pizza. If you and four friends split three apitizers - it isn't that much money. Its a lot of fun to sit outside at one of the sidewalk tables and people watch. People get really dressed up, and drive really nice cars. Its just a cool place to be. http://www.hydeparkrestaurants.com/metro... -Another option would be to visit E.4th St. instead of W.6th St. They have a brand new trendy bowling alley, the House of Blues, and a cool comedy venue. There's also a variety of restaurants there now and I think a pizza place and mexican restaurant are going in soon too. http://www.east4thstreet.com/ I hope you try one of those excursions out and have fun. I would have recommended this one mini-amusement park with laser tag, go-karts, mini-golf, etc where I lived, but it closed last year. I guess I do remember another place called Laser Quest in Fairview Park and a laser tag/whirleyball complex in Bedford Heights. Others Cedar Point is all that comes to mind. Cheers Swings n Things (Olmsted Falls)-has games, laser tag, batting cages, go-carts Good Times (Avon lake or Avon?)-similar to Swings n Things Roll Arena Skating Rink (Elyria)-rollar skating, rock climbing, laser tag (I think) Most bowling allys have cosmic bowling and games and sometimes a dj Dave and Busters-games (including pool, basketball shooting, video) Take them to Whirly Ball, which is in Bedford. You try to throw a softball sized wiffle ball into a basketball hoop with these plastic scoop toys, while you are driving bumper cars. It is great. My family did it to relieve the stress of my mother's funeral. Your group will not want to leave http://www.whirlyballcleveland.com/... |
