It’s a chain from Colorado, but still a good place to be social. Has karaoke rooms, shuffleboard, pool, bowling, and pinball!

It’s a zoo! Even if you don’t want to pay the ticket price you can go past the front gate and check out the shops, snack stands, and mountain goat exhibit. Take the bikes on the Max and zoobomb when you’re done! (Careful, not too fast, now.)
Pro tip: visit the rose garden on the way back to Lovejoy.
