Cork & Board is Jefferson City's one and only board game pub featuring 150 curated board games for play. Stay as long as you like and play as many games as you want. “Game Gurus” are at your service to help you pick out and set up your games, or you may select and play without assistance. While you’re playing, the Gurus are there to serve you drinks and food to your heart's content.

Donning the same classic vibe since the rink’s opening in 1982, Sk8 Zone is a fun space all are welcome to enjoy. Rent a pair of skates or bring your own to circle laps on the floor and break out some dance moves to the overhead tunes!
Ice Cream Factory
At Ice Cream Factory, they take pride in providing a place and experience for families to create the perfect memories. They know how important it is for families to spend time together, and they think it's easy to come together around ice cream. Scoop up some of their fan-favorite flavors like blackberry cobbler, rocky road, or gooey butter cake!

The word “boring” isn’t in Strikers’ vocabulary, as there’s no such thing as a boring night here. In addition to several bowling lanes, you’ll find more than 50 arcade games and HD simulator studios with access to 30+ sports and 120+ games for all to enjoy. Grab a bite between games and fuel up with pizza, burgers, appetizers and more from the in-house restaurant.
