Hudson, WI Indoor Activities

Bowling balls have been barreling down the lanes of Drkula’s 32 Bowl for nearly half a century. Perhaps by osmosis—or maybe unintentional design—the brick and wood building roughly resembles a bowling pin turned on its side, with the roof veering outward above the bowling alley and veering inward above the adjoining Drac’s Pub. There, the kitchen staff refuels bowlers with a surfeit of 1/3-pound burgers, pub sandwiches, and beer. Outside the pub, Drac’s Sand Bar hums with chatter from the patio and cheers from its four sand volleyball courts.

Pilates is fast becoming the number-one exercise in America, right after walking and cow tipping. Join the craze with today's Groupon, which gets you five Pilates mat classes for $35 at Alotapilates, a $100 value. The certified instructors at Alotapilates have been shaping bodies, attitudes, and adorable clay ashtrays since 1997. Mat classes are offered on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday at convenient morning and evening times, so it's easy to slip in a workout before work or after a long day of bow hunting. Check out Alotapilates' class schedule for class times and call ahead to schedule your class. The neighbor's dog has eaten all of your prized flowers: Don't fly off the handle and create a rift between you and your neighbor that no amount of friendly fence talk and accidental-mail exchange can heal. Simply compromise by asking his dog to marry you. The bonds of matrimony will be even stronger than those of pet ownership, and soon the phrase "that filthy mutt is tearing up my flowers" will be replaced with "my lovely spouse is working in the garden." Congratulations!

Discover your inner Davy Crockett with today's Groupon. For $5, you get admission to the 40th Annual Minnesota Sportsmen's Show any day from Wednesday, January 13, through Friday, January 15, at the Saint Paul River Centre. Gawk at great outdoorsy goods (RVs, motor homes, travel trailers, fishing boats), attend free fishing and hunting seminars, plan your next excursion, and witness a water-skiing squirrel purchasing a motor home.
