Family fun
t r u o c r u o y n i s ’ l l The ba We know that most kids only need simple toys to while away the time, so leave the dollhouse and remote controlled car behind. Instead, just find a ball.
TEXT: Edda Kentish PHOTOS: shutterstock REYKJAVIK AND AKUREYRI Round objects feature in various pastimes. Like bowling. We suggest heading out to in Keiluhollin Egilsholl (literally “the bowling palace”) in the capital’s suburbs, or the creatively-named Keilan in Akureyri. You can even bookend your visit with round food (i.e., pizza or burgers). EGILSSTADIR For activities involving bowling balls in miniature, head out to the mini golf course out east in the town of Egilsstadir. Make a day of it and challenge each other to complete the course in the most strokes instead of the fewest. EVERYWHERE Find a football or dodge ball and pick an empty-ish spot to pass a ball around. Parkas and jackets are excellent construction materials for make-shift goal posts, and everyone speaks the language of football. We strongly recommend avoiding piers, though. Fishing balls out of the ocean is difficult at best, dangerous at worst.
