Winter can be cold and dark with not a lot to do, but Kennesaw and Marietta have a lot of warm and fun places to visit; here are some ideas for a date night, a weekend out with friends or simply enjoying your own company close to home.
Bowlero
If you cannot decide between an arcade or a bowling alley then this place is for you. Bowlero is the largest owner and operator of bowling alleys in the world. There is plenty to do with food, bowling and a huge arcade. It is also a great place to take pictures with your friends. Stop in to see how great your bowling skills are and how they will improve.
Marietta Square Market
Everyone has run into the struggle when nobody they are with can decide on a place to eat. At the Marietta Square Market, there are plenty of choices to grab a bite of food. They have a variety including bubble tea, vegan cuisine, burgers, crepes and more. Afterward, you can visit the rest of the shops and walk around the historical square.
Marietta Cobb Museum of Art
Another great activity on the square is the art museum with rotating exhibits throughout the year. They also have events including Open Night Receptions. The art features local artists and their work along with the inspiration behind it. This is something that art lovers or people who want a calm night out will certainly enjoy.
Monster Minigolf
If a peaceful activity is not for you, then there are many other options. Monster Minigolf is fun for all ages. It includes glow-in-the-dark minigolf, an arcade, laser tag, virtual reality attractions and more. Bring out your competitive side and have fun with all the activities they offer.
Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History
Learning the history of your town and railroads can be very amusing. At The Southern Museum in Downtown Kennesaw, student tickets are half off with a Talon Card. There are five featured exhibits plus a gift shop to buy your own small train. On a rainy or sunny day, this is a nice place to relax and learn compelling facts.
Just Kilin Time
To kill time while it is cold outside you can paint your own pottery. In the Atlanta area this is the oldest paint-your-own pottery studio around. Walk-ins are accepted for groups of six or less on the Marietta square. You can choose a mug or a plate and bring out your creative side with painting.
Escape Rooms
There are many escape rooms and they never get old. Mindscape Escape Rooms is only a four-minute drive from the Kennesaw campus. They have three different rooms to pick from and your group can be up to nine people. If you have over an hour between classes or just want a challenge then this is the perfect option.
Now, go explore your college town and take advantage of the fun and cozy places around you.
