Things to Do in Conyers

Gleaming bowling balls rumble down 40 polished wooden lanes at Junction Lanes Family Entertainment Center, where clusters of bowlers lace up multicolored kicks and spend an hour waltzing to the tune of clattering pins. On weekends, regular lights and just-whitened smiles give way to the black lights, strobe lights, disco balls, and rousing music of cosmic bowling.

Mini golfers can head over to Junction Linx, a course awash in neon obstacles and vivid arboreal murals. Sculpted lions, rhinos, and alligators snap at passing putters in the jungle-themed portion of the course; homages to patriotic landmarks surround the other nine holes, featuring replicas of the Liberty Bell, the Lincoln Memorial, and Jack Nicklaus’s backyard.

At The Depot Grill, players sink teeth into piping-hot pizzas from Buchi Z Pizza, creamy scoops of Bruster’s Ice Cream, or steaming buns loaded with Nathan’s Famous hot dogs. This sustenance shores up gamers so they can hone their reflexes at the arcade.

Currently the Director of Instruction at Keith Jarvis Golf Academy, Keith and his staff of qualified instructors call upon his 24 years of experience as a professional player and coach to enhance each lesson. Students perfect swings for extra distance off the tee and practice short-game precision for more one-putts and fewer galleries showered with sand. Lesson programs incorporate the wireless 3D K-Vest, worn to limit extraneous movements and develop muscle memory during the swing, and Tomi putting equipment, which helps putters develop a consistent stroke.

The training staff at TLEC leads students toward their riding goals on picturesque grounds, instilling the necessary basics for riders of all ages. The staff helps tackle areas that may include horsemanship, grooming, tacking, and riding styles such as English and Western.
