Bowling

Bowling is a great, active way to spend time together as a family. With options like ball ramps and gutter rails, it is a game for nearly any age and ability. So strike (punintended!) up a friendly family competition with the usual game rules or mix it up with silly challenges like bowling with your eyes closed or using your non-dominant hand or bowl sitting down. However you do it, NoCo offers several bowling venues from which to choose.

Escape Rooms

Seek clues to solve puzzles in a limited amount of time in order to “escape” a room or set of rooms. Most suggest players be a minimum of 10–12 years old depending on setting, plot and degree of the challenge.

Indoor rock climbing

Climbing walls offer both physical and mental challenges for all ages. While best for kids ages 7 and up, several gyms work with those as young as 5 years old. Proper safety gear is available to rent or included with admission. Some businesses offer youth-specific programs. The City of Fort Collins offers family climbing days as well.
