Wind Down At Walnut Park in Webster

The park contains two playgrounds, a jogging track, a gazebo, and a small pavilion area with a few picnic tables. Among all of these amenities, locals tend to rave about the jogging track the most. This track is a soft asphalt material that differs from the ones you’ll find in any other park. Plus, there are many trees along the path so it provides plenty of shade for those warm summer days.

Main Event: From Laser Tag Arena to Indoor Ropes Course

Other bowling alleys, laser tag arenas, and mini golf courses can't hold a candle to Webster's Main Event, regulars say. That's because this family fun center doesn't just have one of these kid-friendly attractions—it has all of them. Bring along your entire brood and play a round of laser tag in Main Event's decked-out obstacle course, complete with secret passageways, glowing arches, and creeping fog. There's also a bowling alley, brought into the modern era by screens over the lanes and soft colored lighting.

Mini golf, karaoke, and arcade games are all available at Main Event, as well, but perhaps the most unique attraction? The Gravity Ropes. Perhaps more aptly described as an indoor ropes course, the Gravity Ropes give kids a chance to test their agility as they're hoisted aloft. The midair obstacle course features all necessary safety precautions, but that shouldn't detract from the thrill as you or your child scramble across rope bridges and climb various other structures.
