It's a ways drive out to South Center, but fun for kids and family - Japanese style arcade entertainment including bowling, pool, karaoke rooms, video games and arcade games with prizes. Always great to pop next door for some coffee, tea or baked Taiwanese goods at 85 Degrees. Open pretty late. Fun for adults too.

Sightseeing

Go for people watching, the views of the sound and to grab a snack and maybe something to take home to eat later from the market. I often like to get flowers from down here. Do not park or drive a car down here. Expect crowds, don't go rushed.
