The best things to do in Skowhegan

“Spotlight Cinemas at The Strand brings first-run films to a restored historic venue with three theaters, a welcoming lobby, and the kind of concessions that make you forget dinner. It’s the easy, in-town pick when you want a new release without making a whole trip of it.”

“Central Maine Family Fun Bowling Center nails the local vibe with adult and youth leagues and kids’ birthday parties, plus an arcade and food court to keep everyone fueled. After you crush a few frames, slide into the Outback Tavern or find some fresh air on the Paradise Patio.”

“Whether you're sneaking in weeknight laughs or corralling the kids, Gifford's Mini Golf delivers easy local fun, a relaxed mini course, and scoops made from local ingredients by the Maine brand many of us grew up with. Close to Vassalboro, it’s the sweet spot between bragging rights and brain freeze.”
