We love aviation so we may be biased. It is a family friendly museum and there is something for every age to enjoy. Highly recommended. Pro tip: if you purchase a membership, you get reciprocity too many different museums. It may be worth it even if you never come back.

A really neat place where the price of beer changes with supply and demand. Prices are constantly changing like the stock market and local craft brews are plentiful on the menu.

Golf

Three different 9 hole golf courses that are challenging but doable. It’s not Augusta National but given it’s location right down the road, the convenience factor makes it a favorite.
