Great for those nights you want to remember! (Or forget, as is the case with going to a place called "Shot Bar") You can spin the wheel to get free shots at the bar, and a fun place to go if you want to dance.

Arts & Culture
If you want art museums, we've got them here! And if you're more of a science / natural history buff, they have that here as well. Highly recommended - especially the dinosaur exhibit at the natural science museum.

If you sit on the lawn, the plays are free, but definitely get there early. They have regular plays, concerts, shows, and if you get tickets in advance you can sit closer to the stage, but sometimes, bringing a picnic and a blanket or chairs to sit on can be a lot more fun.
