Say Goodbye to "I Don't Know"
Getting a group of your friends, family members, or coworkers together can be tricky, and when you finally do, it can be difficult to decide how to spend your time together! This post offers up 5 fun activities that will hopefully rid you of playing the game, "I don't know, what do you want to do?"
Escape Room
Form stronger bonds and stronger brains with this group activity! Escape rooms are fun with any group. They require you to work as a team to solve puzzles and escape the locked room. Tactical Escape 101, located in Oakwood Mall, offers 4 different rooms to choose from, all with a different theme. I went to Tactical Escape 101 with a student organization and had an absolute blast. You can make reservations for your next outing on their website, or give them a call!
Action City
From a trampoline park to a huge arcade, Action City has everything you could ask for to have a fun-filled day for all ages. Action City offers all sorts of daily passes and party options to cater towards your group. Also, if you're looking to extend your fun at Action City, stay at the attached Metropolis Resort, that way you can have more time to check out all the exciting amenities they have to offer! Last but not least, don't forget to pay a visit to Chaos Water Park. That's right, there is truly something for everyone!
River Prairie Park Yard Games
Sometimes you want to spend time outside, but don't want to just sit around. River Prairie Park has the solution for you! You can rent various yard games at the Altoona Parks and Recreation office for $5 an hour. Available yard games include badminton, ping pong, giant Jenga, yard dice, Kubb, and Bocce ball! The park has plenty of lawn space for all your gaming needs, so head on over for your next sunny get-together.
Canvas or Pottery Painting
More of an artsy group? Even if you're not, it's still just as fun! Stop into Craving Canvas & Ceramic Studio for a canvas or pottery painting party. Craving Canvas offers instructor-led canvas painting, or if you so wish, you can choose from their wide selection of ceramics and paint your own! I painted mugs with my boyfriend for our one year anniversary and we had a wonderful time. Now we have a keepsake to remember the day! Check out Craving Canvas' website to learn more and give them a call to reserve your party's spot.
Wine Tasting
Infinity Beverages Winery and Distillery offers daily wine tastings and tours perfectly equipped for an enjoyable group date. Located on Mall Drive, Infinity Beverages has a goal of producing unique wines and spirits. You can stop into the lovely Tasting Lounge to enjoy samples, wines by the glass, and specialty drinks. Or, you can book a Tour & Tasting in advance on their website to learn more about Infinity's history and see the winery and distillery.
