From the moment the ball drops for the first time onto the hardwood and the eventual sound of pins tumbling down, you know that you are about to experience the best in bowling if you find yourself at AMF Riverside Lanes. This state-of-the-art recreation facility prides itself in creating a fun, family-friendly atmosphere in which the whole family can enjoy bowling as well as other amenities like a video arcade, a snack and concession area and even a pro shop.

The type of performance you are getting ready for will be elevated to an even higher level when you experience it at the Culver Center for the Arts. This entertainment facility is one of the most respected in the country, as its dark walnut doors and naturally lit interior set the stage for a performance that comes to life thanks to the expansive stage and stunning acoustics. Whether it is a symphonic performance, a dazzling stage play or a graceful dance recital, you can be assured that you will have the opportunity to catch every nuance when you see it at the Culver Center for the Arts.

Break the kids away from their cell phones, video games and computer screens and get the whole family moving when you take everyone out for a day of fun at Riverside's Don Derr Park. This sprawling and inviting area offers a little something for every member of your family. One of the more popular features of the park is the PlayBooster and PlayShaper playground components that offer a challenge as well as a good dose of exercise to any child who climbs all over them. The Gemini Sidewinder 2 is another notable attraction, as are the many slides, swings, and seesaws that make Don Derr Park such a fun and exhilarating place to take the whole family.
