What to with a 16yo boy...

My nephew is coming Thursday with a friend and we are doing a bunch of stuff to celebrate his 16th birthday. He is my sister's Godchild, so all this fun is her present to him! Thursday we are hitting up an I-Cubs game, Friday we are going to adventureland...no ideas past that and they are here until Sunday. Trying to think of cheap ways to feed them too! Teenage boys can eat a TON!!!

Re: What to with a 16yo boy...

  • If they are not from around here, they may want to go to JC Mall to check out the girls...so to speak.  My neice was here earlier this summer and I know that girls are a bit different than boys but she was into checking out the "scene".  I felt so old!  LOL!  They may also want to do some back to school shopping if they don't have the stores that we have here.

    Moive in 3D if that is something that is not around where they live.

    Water Park since it's hot as all heck.

  • I would check out Cascade Falls.  If the weather is still hot it would be a place to cool off and the slides and stuff would be fun for him. 

  • All Play, Climb Iowa, Sleepy Hollow (batting cages, mini golf, go-carts)

  • The malls, the Ankeny aquatic center, if they are into science at all, I've heard really good things about that body worlds vital and they could check out an IMAX.
