When people think of traveling to Puerto Rico and having fun things to do, it’s safe to bet that most folks think of beaches and having fun in the sun. But there’s just so much more to the island than that. While most would bring up the nightlife, the food, or any other number of great things to do, you might want to consider…
Where To Go For Fun and Games in Puerto Rico
1. Salsipuedes Aventuras (Best for Escape Rooms)
If you have never been to an escape room, the basic concept is that you and several others are locked in a room that follows a given theme with a story framing the experience. The story and the room provide clues and puzzles that can lead you to escape. Difficulty levels can vary across different rooms, but a countdown clock is one of the inherent challenges of all escape rooms.
Rates at Salsipuedes are $27 per person for groups of 2-4 people, $25 per person for groups of 5-9, and $22 per person for groups of 10 or larger.
2. Dave & Buster’s (Best Arcade)
Dave & Buster’s has been around since the 1970s, and recently, they opened two locations in PR. For the uninitiated, D&B provides the experience of a full arcade along with casual dining. Throw in a sports bar with plenty of TVs, and you can catch a game just as easily as you can play one.
3. Predator Gaming Center (Best for Bowling)
If you happen to be staying in Dorado, you will want to check out Predator Gaming Center, currently Dorado’s only bowling alley. With vibrant decor, food, and drinks, Predator is strikingly fun! They have spared no effort in creating an environment that’s great for the whole family, so be sure to pin this to your must-see list.
4. Sector Sixty6 (Best for Everyone)
One challenge of family vacationing is getting people to agree on what to do. Sector Sixty6 is out to fix that. There’s something here for everyone!
- Arcade: Sure, you can play video games at home, but as Gen Xers and Millennials will attest to, there’s nothing quite like the experience of an arcade!
- Bowling: The roll of the ball… the crash of the pins… the cheese on the nachos! The cozy lanes are just the place for the pinhead in your group (sorry, I had to get one more in there).
- K1 Speed (Indoor Karting): Rev the engine, burn some rubber, and give your all in a go-kart race to decide who has to pick up the bill at dinner! The stakes have never been higher.
- Rope Course: Do you want to get a bit more hands-on? Test your skills on the indoor rope course! It’s trickier than it looks!
- Top Eliminators Dragsters: Indoor karting isn’t your speed? How about an actual 300-horsepower drag racer? Zero to Sixty in 4 seconds is enough to get anyone’s adrenaline pumping.
5. Distrito T-Mobile (Best for Full-Day Fun)
Another place where you will find fun for the whole family is Distrito T-Mobile. Located close to Old San Juan, you can choose to stop by after some sightseeing or spend the whole day here. There are plenty of places to eat and plenty of things to do!
- Toro Verde Urban Park: This is the metropolitan version of the famed Toro Verde Adventure Park in Orocovis. Two zip lines, a rope course, and an Arcade have all you can ask for to scratch your itch for adventure.
- Coca-Cola Music Hall: Catch a concert at one of the newest venues in San Juan!
- Arena Medalla: Eat, drink, and be merry at this two-level 12,500-square-foot sports restaurant. Try The Medalla Sliders!
Conclusion
As you can see, there are tons to do when staying in Puerto Rico, so much so that the hardest thing isn’t finding something to do. It’s choosing what to do! We hope this guide makes that choice just a little bit easier.
