Pick your nickname, dress light and get ready for a few entertaining hours at Lasertron. In addition to its 9,200-square-foot laser tag arena, this facility also has a go kart track, mini-golf course, arcade and billiards tables that the both kids (and adults) can enjoy. Stretch your legs and get outdoors for a few hours on the 5.7-mile Amherst Canalway Trail. An excellent trail for walkers and bikers, it takes you along the banks of Erie Canal, which is full of animal species and recreational boats cruising the canal.
Only a short drive from downtown Amherst, participate in some friendly competition at Monster Mini Golf. What makes this 18-hole golf course unique is the cool graphics surrounding the walls and putting greens. Make one of your nights a comedy night at the improvisational comedy show, Buffalo ComedySportz. As two teams of “act-letes” compete for the biggest laughs, a referee calls fouls and gets suggestions from the audience. Since there are no scripts or pre-planned scenes, you can visit this intimate venue multiple times.
The closest spot to hit the links is the Grover Cleveland Golf Course. Only a five-minute drive from downtown Amherst, this 18-hole golf features 5600-yards of green space, a practice putting area and well bunkered greens. Finish your trip with a night show at the MusicalFare Theatre. This not-for-profit musical theater company is located on the Daemen College campus and performs new and traditional musicals in an intimate 136-seat theatre.
