Forksful of cool New Year’s Eve to-dos

When temps are a little below ideal, Forks has plenty of ways to keep the fun rolling indoors. Start with a strike (or at least a few laughs) at Red Ray Lanes, where bowling is the perfect cure for cabin fever. If the kids are craving splash time, dive into our water parks. Choice Health & Fitness offers not only a pool but also basketball, racquetball, tennis, pickleball courts, fitness classes and a Kids Zone interactive play area that are all open from 5 AM to 8 PM. For bigger waves, head to Canad Inns’ Splashers of the South Seas. The region’s largest indoor water park comes complete with a bustling arcade, piping hot pizza and snacks to refuel after the fun. Step into the lobby of Canad Inns for nonstop fun—kids can jump in the bounce house, everyone can show off their moves on the dance floor, a family-friendly DJ will keep the energy high and the night caps off with a spectacular balloon drop at 10 PM. Want to celebrate before the calendar flips? Northern Air Action Park may be closed on New Year’s Eve and Day but you can party early with trampolines, laser tag, a 30+ game arcade, Hologate Virtual Reality and their premier indoor karting track. If your idea of the perfect night out is sinking into a cozy heated recliner, munching on buttery popcorn and catching the hottest new blockbuster on the big screen, then River Cinema 15 is the place to be. From premieres to fan favorites, this premier spot turns movie night into an Oscar worthy experience. And when the evening arrives, bundle up for a magical drive through Lincoln Park, where the annual Lions Christmas in the Park light display sparkles between 5:30 PM and midnight.
