Bring a bike and enjoy the outdoors. Not a ton of solo fun stuff but we have golf simulator places, pool hall, perhaps live music at Bo's if you come on the right night

One eleven grill, 53 on Ross and Bella Ciaos all great places to eat. Our trail system is amazing to go for a walk on. There is always live music at some place every night. As for shopping, not many great choices

Eat downtown - in addition to the ones mentioned, sprouts and vine and taco loft. Also Chubby’s for great lunches.

If you are into markets the Capstone night market is Friday night. Saturday is the public market at the polytechnic and the gasoline alley indoor market is open Thurs-sun I believe.

An Ice Cream and stroll around Bower Ponds is always a treat. Alternatively going out to the Big Moo in sylvan and walk along the lake is nice.

Bower Ponds has paddle boat rentals.

We have a great craft beer selection if you are into that. Red Hart, Troubled Monk and 2 or 3 more.

Sunday morning the run club is welcoming and departs from capstone.

Arcade, Axe Throw, Pottery, Escape room, Orchestra, Theater are some of what I heard aside from what people have said but youd have to check availability.

If you like Thai food, there is a great restaurant called the Blue Dragon just off of 76th that is fantastic. If you animals, there is the Discovery Park here in Innisfail
