All Ages Fun

Years ago the national press declared us a family town, then they decided that we didn't welcome families. The truth of the matter is that, then and now, about ten percent of visitors are under age 21 (the lowest age breakdown monitored). But with a population of almost two million, many with families, there are more things than ever to do with children. Teens, however, are still looking for activities.

Jillians, located downtown in Neonopolis, is addressing this need. (They also offer a great birthday bowling package that is one of our favorite excursions.) Kids can bowl, play pool, challenge each other in a game arcade and dance to all ages bands. Take the whole family down for an evening of fun.
