  FAMILY FUN DAY AND NIGHT IN GRAND JUNCTION By Amiee White Beazley
Go Bananas! Bananas Fun Park has everything a kid would want to get them dizzy with excitement – mini golf, batting cages, go-karts, bumper boats, lazer tag, an arcade and the always wild Congo Café. It's a perfect location for kids' birthday parties or group events. The best part is Bananas Fun Park is open all year round, so no one is ever left out of the fun. Be sure to check out Bananas' newest special – "10 Buck Tuesdays." From 5 - 10 p.m. entry is only $10 and gives you unlimited access to mini-golf, bumper boats, lazer tag and the inflatable play yard. Pool Party In the heat of summer, there is no better place to cool off than outdoors at the Lincoln Park-Moyer Swimming Pool and Waterslide. From Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend make a splash at this cool complex's 50-meter outdoor pool, waterslide, diving boards, or the shallow-water instructional tank. Don't care to swim? The pool has an extensive grass area, concessions, shade shelters and enough pool deck
Climbing the Walls? Kids love to climb. So why not hook them up with an instructor at Core Elements and set them free on any one of the climbing walls. Meanwhile, parents can indulge in the abundant wellness and personal training activities. And if you're looking for late-night fun, hit Core Elements this summer for Movie Night – unlimited climbing and a movie for one low price. Daily/monthly memberships and punch-passes available. Score Big You must explore GJ Scores' 48,000-square-foot bowling-based entertainment center this summer. Why? Thirty-six bowling lanes, six big-screen TVs, 10 full-size, tournament-grade billiard tables, 30-plus arcade games and the one and only GJ Scores Restaurant – a great spot for pizza and burgers. Why would you ever need to leave? Iceberg Ahead! Grand Junction's first, year-round ice rink, The Glacier Ice Arena, is scheduled to open in Summer 2006. Open seven days a week, the rink will have daily public skate, lessons, hockey programs, figure skating, broomball leagues, a skate shop and, of course, yummy food. It's a great way to get some exercise and have a great time with your kids.
