The best things to do in Celina

“Set in a historic National Guard armory, The Armory of St Marys nails that old-brick romance locals love... big, light-filled hall, pretty garden ceremony spot, and legit suites for getting ready. Book the teen-center groom room and your day even kicks a little support back to local youth.”

“Family-owned Plaza Lanes Celina is home for the Celina Bulldogs and Parkway Panthers, and it’s where league regulars and casual crews meet for strikes, solid pub grub, and a full-service bar. Weekend Thunder Alley drops the lights, and the on-site pro shop plus online ordering keep the fun rolling.”

“Grand Lake Pickleball keeps things simple with online-only court booking in a controlled access facility, plus play, events, and lessons that make it easy to jump in at your pace. If you're local, it's the spot to find regular games, sharpen skills, and meet your future doubles partner.”
