What is there to do in Fort Wayne

[Cru]

I'm in FW for the evening, what is there to do?

edit: other than the strip clubs, I'm with my dad and wife.

which part of Ft. Wayne?

 

[Cru]

Coliseum and ....?

There is Putt Putt and Go Karts at Coliseum & Speedway (right by the Giant American Flag)

Lake? maybe? I don't remember, I'm on the east side of town.

 

[OneBadV8]

I'm not the most familiar with that area, but still Putt Putt isn't far away from there. Seems like most things are on the North side or the south side, not much in the middle.

Jefferson Point (I-69 & 14) has the Rave Movie Theater and its an outdoor mall kind of like Hamilton Town Center.

Putt Putt is off of coliseum and speedway drive.

Jefferson Point Mall is off of exit 105 A off of I69, with Rave Movie theater.

There is Crazy Pinz Bowling/Entertainment Center off of Lima/Hwy 3

Go to eat at Ziffles if your at east colisium area. It is great BBQ with a fairly large menu and is located at Georgetown at the intersection of State and Maplecrest.

Powers Hamburgers downtown FTW !!

My fav. place to eat is Rack and Helen's in New Haven, 15 minutes away. Lake ave. rose garden. Dick's sporting goods, Gander Mountain. Snickers comedy club.

Is this something going down soon, because hockey season is coming up before too long. Nothing better in Ft Wayne than Komet hockey.

But Snickerz is fun, two largeish malls, all the normal eating joints. Personally I think most of the Ft Wayne landmark restaurants suck such as Coney Island.

If you are looking for a nice Italian place check out Biaggis, its on the south side of town but Ft Wayne isnt really that big so its 15-20 from the north side anyway. Paulas downtown has good seafood.

thanks for the ideas guys, I am back in Noblesville now, but I'm sure I'll be back in FW visiting again sometime so I'll keep these ideas around.

There used to be some adult entertainment establishments over there

Haha used to be, there still are tons of them.
That along with tons of resturants... hince the nickname Fort Fat as Ft. Wayne was voted in the top fattest cities several years ago....and there are also tons of churches.

On a more serious note if you are in town this weekend, you should stop by the Johnny Appleseed Festival.

Jonny Appleseed festival is going on today and tomorrow. Pretty cool festival. Other than that...not much happens here. lol

Never mind...FWP9mm beat me to it.

There is a lot to see and the kettle corn is great. I can only eat two bags a day!!!

Well, Today was the first time I had gone since I was young. That being said...It was AWESOME. Good food, interesting stories, good music and cool shows that had to do with the Civil War era. Muzzle loaders being shot, cannons going off every 15 minutes drum-lines, etc. And to be quite honest, everything was priced quite nicely!

And the kettle corn...OH...the kettle corn.....

My only complaint was the crowd. It's only a 2 day event....so EVERYone and their brother was out to see it. Shoulder to shoulder people. But totally worth the trouble.
