1. Catch ‘The Cat in the Hat’ on the Big Screen

Mark your calendar for November 6, when The Cat in the Hat hits theaters. In the wonderfully whimsical tradition of Dr. Seuss, this is an animated theatrical feature film full of mischief, magic, and mayhem.

Along the way, audiences are transported on a fantastical journey through a world they’ve never seen before. Watching it in theaters is an easy family outing, a cozy afternoon in the dark with popcorn, and exactly the kind of experiences that work for kids and grown-ups alike.

2. Strike, Spare, and Cheer at Bryan’s Bowling Center

Regardless of the time of year, bowling alleys are one of the most loved go-to spots for family fun. Bryan’s Bowling Center is a classic choice for a relaxed, laughter-filled outing. Bumper lanes keep younger bowlers in the game, while older kids and adults can bring a little friendly competition.

Split into teams, make up silly nicknames, and cheer for every pin, even the ones that wobble and refuse to fall. It’s an easy plan for a weekend afternoon, a birthday get-together, or a rainy day when everyone needs to burn off some energy. For simple, social things to do near you, bowling never goes out of style.

3. Games, Go-Karts, and Nostalgia at Captain’s Quarters

If your family loves a little friendly rivalry, Captain’s Quarters Arcade and Go Karts is a stop worth making. The arcade brings back the golden age of gaming with a nostalgic token and ticket system that lets kids (and parents) rack up prizes the old-fashioned way.

Prefer speed? Go-karts let you satisfy your need for speed as you compete against family and friends on a newly designed, incredibly fun track. And no one has to go hungry or thirsty, since on-site concessions offer a variety of snacks and drinks to keep everyone fueled and refreshed. It’s one of the most exciting fun places near you for a high-energy family day.
