There’s nothing quite like spending a few hours at the roller rink to don a pair of skates and experience the glide that comes from a smooth, polished wooden floor. It’s also a great way to get exercise, especially if you’ve been working at home for more hours than you care to consider. Interskate Roller Rink is a family-friendly place and entry is reasonably priced so everyone can get out of the house for a while and have some exhilarating fun. 

Tuesday nights are bargain nights with reduced admission and rental pricing. You can bring your own skates and pay for admission only. Other special nights are Jam Night on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month and Adult Night on Thursday and Sunday Nights. Come early on Jam Night to learn the fundamentals of skate jamming, then try out the moves on the roller rink while up-tempo music plays in encouragement. Not sure if you can get on a pair of skates and not fall? Interskate has inexpensive skating lessons with skate rentals every Saturday morning.

BENDT Distillery 

Formerly known as the Witherspoon Distillery, the BENDT Distillery handcrafts a variety of spirits using locally sourced ingredients that are handcrafted by people who have a drive to make the best drinking spirits possible. The distillery sources corn and malt from local farmers to help support them and those who supply the farmers with what they need to produce quality grains. The grains and other ingredients are brought to the distillery for fermentation and distillation, then aged in barrels, and eventually bottled after spending at least nine months in a barrel. 

BENDT Distillery produces blended whiskey, bourbon, wheat, rye, malt, light whiskeys, and experimental batches of agave spirits, rum, brandy, gin, rum, and other liqueurs. The distillery hosts live music and tasting events along with tours held every Friday and Saturday. The tours are given multiple times throughout the day on both days, and it’s advised to make a reservation as the tours sell out quickly. If you’re looking to taste the spirits on offer, you can come to the tasting hall and whiskey garden to sample the wares along with small bites menus for something to nibble on in between sips.

Paintball and the other activities available at Gel Splat are great for bonding exercises and fun for the whole family and friends group.

Safety comes first at Gel Splat Paintball no matter what the activity and age of participants.
