    Check out a Movie

    Marcus Theatres

    This is probably one of the most obvious options, but checking out a movie is always a fantastic option. Grab a snack, beverage and sit back - forgetting the fact it is frigidly cold for a few hours.

    Get Active

    Adventure Zone

    Take a few swings at the batting cages, climb the rock wall, play a little laser tag, or hit the arcade down in Canal Park. It's a great chance to get active when it is so cold out. If that isn't enough, you could make a day of it and grab some food before or after you hit up Adventure Zone.

    Take A Swim
