While Printscape offers public skating on Friday and Saturday, Saturday is usually less busy. Anyone looking for a more relaxing activity might enjoy Saturday public skating more.

Looking to kill some time with friends or family? Finding things to do here in Western PA may seem like a tedious task, but there are more options than it seems. Here are the five best options, rated by fellow Trinity Students! 

#5- Top Golf

While being immensely popular for birthday parties, Top Golf is also a great place to host a get-together with friends or family. They are open every day of the week, with the pricing based on the date and time. Availability is tight, so it might be wise to book ahead instead of trying to walk in. Anyone under the age of 18 must be supervised by an adult after 9:00 p.m. People under 16 must be supervised at all times.  To see prices and booking times, visit topgolf.com. 

#4- West Pike Bowl

Bowling can be fun for anyone at any age. West Pike Bowl is open every day, and they offer a variety of pricing based on days and times. On top of just public bowling, there is an arcade in the building and they host special events such as cosmic bowling that takes place every Friday and Saturday night. To see prices and other important details, go to westpikebowl.com 

 #3- Escape Room South

An escape room is a great way to test a group’s teamwork and problem-solving skills. They offer a variety of rooms with varying difficulty levels for $30 a person with enough space for a party of 2-8 people depending on the room. All party members need to sign a waiver, and the party must be accompanied by someone 18 or older. To check out and reserve a room, visit escaperoomsouth.com. 

#2- Printscape Ice Rink

For an activity more in the festive mood, ice skating is a great place to hang out and watch your friends fall on their faces. Public skating happens every Friday from 8:30-9:50 p.m. and every Saturday from 1:15-2:45 p.m. Admission is $12 per person, but space is limited, so be sure to be the first in line to prevent being turned away.

This place is available by appointment only Friday- Monday. They take groups of 1-9 people, and the pricing is $40 per person. However, minors must be accompanied by a person 18 years or older.
