Holy coldness, Batman.
Have you seen the weather
for the next week?
At the time
this video drops,
it'll actually be the coldest day
of the week.
Up here in Rapid City,
we're looking at -60
degrees, potentially windchill factors.
That's a bit cold.
Oh, sweater weather.
Finally sweater weather.
Hey Everybody!
It's Tristan
Emond with Mindful Living Realty.
A REALTOR
right here in Rapid City,
South Dakota,
the gateway to the Black Hills.
Today
we're going to talk about what you can do
when it's cold outside.
You know,
aside from just snuggling
under a blanket all day,
sometimes you just got to get out
and do things.
And of course, since it is so cold,
I ain't going out there
and taking pictures.
So let's get online,
check out
all the different websites of places
you can go and do stuff in Rapid City.
So let's start with
some of the crafty things you can do in
Rapid City.
Pottery 2 Paint.
Sit down
and spend a couple of hours
painting a bowl, a cup,
a figurine, a Christmas ornament,
whatever you want.
There's also Prouty Pottery
that not only has painting classes,
but also canvas painting classes
and a lot of other things.
Plus, learn to create your own
clay pottery.
Canvas 2 Paint downtown Rapid City.
Get together
your family and friends
and paint
a masterpiece
- guided masterpiece to help you paint -
even though you probably won't do that
good of a job.
:) If you feel
like a little more activity,
you can always go bowling.
Robbinsdale bowling
not only has bowling,
but it also has a lot of fun events.
You can also check out
Meadowwood Lanes
on the west side of town.
Or you can test your skill
with billiards, pool and darts
at the Breakroom, Downtown Rapid City.
There's also fun things to do,
like the Black Hills Escape Rooms, VR Den
and Press Start Arcade and Pizza.
Now, even for you older people,
there's a lot of fun here at Press Start.
Go downstairs.
You get your classic eighties
gaming: Pac-Man, Ninja
Turtles, and Space Invaders.
There's also a number of arcades
and fun things to do at the mall.
And of course, while you're at the mall,
take some time go walking around.
Check out the food court and go shopping.
Or it's a great place
to get your steps in out of the cold.
And let's not forget about
a little guy fun at Flags and Wheels.
Bumper Cars. Car racing.
Laser tag. Paintball.
What more do you want?
Oh, I had no idea
laser tag still existed.
Yeah well I enjoy it before it becomes
cool again.
I give it two months.
I believe it. This is awesome.
Then go up Highway
16 a little bit to Putz N Glow mini
golf course.
This is a fun
mini golf course with black light
and some pretty fun music.
If the kids are cramped
and you really need to get them out
and get their energy out,
check out the Get Air Trampoline Park.
I don't recommend
you jumping in the foam pit.
Getting out of that
thing...It's a challenge.
You can also take them out to
Run Wild up by Summerset.
It's like your McDonald's
playland on steroids.
Of course,
there's always things to do at the YMCA,
the Roosevelt Swim Center,
which includes a walk in pool
with a lot of cool things
for the kids to play in, a lazy
river, vortex pool,
plus racquetball courts and events
such as yoga and fencing.
Or you could be a little weird
and go to the ice arena.
This week the ice arena is
actually is going to be warmer
than it is outside.
But hey, go inside.
Have some fun skating around.
At least you'll be outside
of those cold wind chill temps.
Or experience
the waterslides at WaTiki Water Park.
If music is more your thing,
Aby's is a newer venue
that has really been exploding
on the scenes.
Look at all these different events
going on from Wednesday to Sunday.
All sorts of different things
happening down at Aby's.
The Performing Arts Center of Rapid City
is home to Black Hills
Symphony Orchestra,
the Black Hills Community Theater
and many other fun and musical events.
Don't forget to check out the Monument
Civic Center
for concerts, events
and all sorts of other things
happening during the winter time.
There are a number of museums
and art galleries downtown Rapid City.
Check out the Dahl Fine Art Center
for their changing displays
and also sometimes they have events
here at the Dahl.
And of course,
there's nothing better to do
when it's cold than go to the movie.
There's the AMC classic,
which is your traditional movie theater,
with straight back seats.
And Golden Ticket Cinemas,
which is a little bit
more of your luxury movie experience,
complete with food and lay back seats
and online reserved seating.
What about trivia night?
Trivia night can be a lot of fun
to take up a couple hours
in the cold, cold nights.
A couple of places
to have trivia night
or Hay Camp and Wobbly Bobbly.
And hey,
there's a whole lot of breweries in town
to get together with your friends
and just hang out.
Perhaps you'd like things
a little bit finer.
In which case,
you can check out the wineries
around downtown Rapid City.
Or maybe a sports bar is more your theme.
There's a
few of those as well,
and a number of these places
will have live music.
Check out Joe's Place
that has live music every Friday.
Plus karaoke.
Plus, they've got eleven
flat screens and great food.
You'll also find events
and live music
at some of the coffee shops in town.
And of course, we've got our restaurants.
Did somebody just do a video
about restaurants? Hmm.
How about that?
When I started putting this together,
I was amazed at
how many different things
you can do inside in Rapid City.
Thanks for watching.
Have an amazing day.
Stay warm and #LOVEWHEREYOULIVE.
