Lumberjack Alley
Lumberjack Alley is a great location for blowing off some steam and practicing your ability to hit a target… with an axe. You and your best friend will have a heyday getting this together. Located in Stars & Strikes, if you want more fun pick from mini golf, bowling, and more.

High Point makes for a great physically-active outing, also good for blowing off some steam. They have a very large climbing area including a kids section, both of which are loads of fun. Expect your forearms to be sore, though.

Sometimes, simple is better. Enjoy a nice picnic or stroll around Jones Farm Park where you’ll see some ducks (and if you’re lucky, ducklings) and can look at the beautiful houses surrounding it. If you like fishing, bring your poles and knock yourself out.

When: Monday-Sunday: 6AM – 8PM
Importance of a friend-date
It’s been rough being outside lately in North Alabama, so take precautions and keep an eye on the weather as you will. Huntsville has a lot to do, and in my opinion it’s not fun unless you do it with someone, so hit that friend up for a friend-date you’ve been meaning to connect with.
