Entertainment

Picture this (rare though it may be). . .

It’s a rainy, gloomy Friday afternoon in Athens. You can’t visit one of the local attractions because it’s after hours and they’re closed. Your kids are complaining that they don’t have anyone to talk to (Hello?) because all their friends are back home. You don’t want to go to sleep in your hotel room because there are still six perfectly useful hours left in the day to have fun. Besides, you’re bored, not tired. So what do you do?  Athens after dark can be very entertaining if you know where to look!

Athens is quickly becoming known as “where Austin comes to play” – music, that is.  A number of quality music venues such as the Lakeview Lodge and Tara Winery host both well-known and newly discovered artists on a regular basis.

Let the good times roll at Athens Bowling Center! Twenty-two lanes of pure excitement are waiting for you and your family to enjoy. It’s all in your form. Perhaps you tiptoe down the lane ala Fred Flintstone? Just remember what Fred always forgot – let go of the ball!! Strike!

Roller rinks will never go out of style and give a whole new meaning to the term “4-wheeling.”  Don’t be afraid to strut your stuff at Good Times Skate and show your children how you can turn corners with precision, and skate backwards. You may or may not fall, but you definitely will see a spike in your adrenaline levels. Both regular and inline skates are available.

Finally, you can lose yourself as you become totally engrossed in the latest film release at Athens Cinema 4. Action, romance, mystery, or comedy, whatever your choice – it’s probably showing on one of four big screens in Athens.

Rain or shine, weekday or weekend, let US entertain you!
