With some long breaks coming up, now would be the best time to familiarize yourself with some popular hangout spots so your Thanksgiving break won’t be a dull one.

1) The Cedar Park Rec Center
With the fall and winter breaks coming up, what better way to work off the candy and turkey than to spend sometime shooting hoops at the Rec Center. Not only that, but it’s a great way to spend time being competitive with your friends. Whether it’s playing basketball, lifting weights or jogging around the track, the Rec Center is a great way to get some exercise and hangout with friends.

2) Milburn Park
After being remodeled, Milburn Park has exploded into one of the ultimate hangout spots, with things like rock climbing, volleyball and BBQs. Or if you prefer, there are smaller attractions like playscapes and multiple benches and tables, most complete with awnings.

3) Veterans Memorial Pool
What better way to spend swimming season then at one of the most fun community pools offered in the area. The pool is divided into several areas, a shallow section ment for little children, a large normal section for everyone to hangout, and lasty a diving section complete with half slide and a diving platform. If you are looking for a water park experience without the water park price, then Veterans Memorial Pools is for you!

4) Main Event
Open to people of all ages, Main Event offers the unique experience of what they call: Eat, Bowl, Play. They feature “state-of-the-art” bowling, multi-level laser tag, multiple food kiosks, and a full arcade. Prices are low too! 5 dollars a day for unlimited bowling, and 10 dollars a day for unlimited everything!

5) Topgolf
Top golf is arguably one of the best driving ranges offered in the Austin area. There are many games besides just hitting balls down the rang. Top Golf: Their signature game, players score points by hitting balls (assigned using our microchip technology) into any target. The more accurate your shot and the farther the distance, the more points you earn. Top Chip: For fans of the short game, TopChip uses just the red target (five shots), yellow target (five shots) and green target (10 shots). Hit the correct target and you’ll score points, but hit the wrong one and see your points disappear. And of course Top Drive: Break out your big guns, and take aim at our farthest targets. Not for the faint of heart, this game challenges even the most experienced and powerful drivers. Not only this, but much more too!
