Things to do in Greensboro, North Carolina (NC): The Best Fun Activities & Games

December 23, 2021 Marissa Gamble

Greensboro, North Carolina loves nightlife, shopping, and horses (8,000 buyers per year go to the Sharpe Family Horse Farm.)  Greensboro lives up to its name in the host of gardens, science centers, and arboretums. The Bog Garden features a living wetland ecosystem. History is also at home here with museums dedicated to the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and the Civil Rights movement. After a day of sightseeing, visitors flock to the Four Seasons Town Center for dinner, shopping, and a movie.

The Idiot Box

The Idiot Box Comedy Club is an award winning venue featuring stand up and improv comedy. Home to the Ultimate Comic Challenge every fall and the NC Comedy Festival every Spring.

Reviewed By MaryM791 - Greensboro, United States

The Idiot Box is a great place to take an improv or standup class as well as an excellent venue to see hilarious comedy performances. The tickets to stand up shows are a true bargain. You get a headliner and several diverse warm-up acts who are funny across the board. The improv performances on Saturdays are great. The venue is at a new location: 2134 Lawndale Drive, Greensboro NC 27408 on the lower level of Geeksboro Coffee House, which is a destination in itself. Stop by, grab a beverage, play a board game, hang out with friends, and then head down to The Idiot Box to be supremely entertained.

Breakout Games - Greensboro

This isn’t your average outing or everyday experience—Breakout is for those who would rather solve mysteries than watch someone else have all the fun. With different rooms that follow unique story-lines, you and your friends will have 60 minutes to escape your adventure of choice by cracking codes, solving puzzles and following clues. Part problem solving, part adrenaline, end-to-end fun!

I've been to Breakout twice now. Once with my adult kids and once with my office for a team building event. Both times were a blast! Katey and Kady were phenomenal Game Masters. The staff makes the experience even more fun with their humor and wit. You have one goal: escape the room in under 1 hour. You’ll solve puzzles, crack codes, find hidden items, and more in order to escape. There are multiple rooms to choose from and each have unique characteristics sure to please everyone in your group. We did Hostage Room and the handcuffs and blindfolds made for an interesting start to throw us off, but it didn't work, as we escaped in time! I would highly recommend Breakout for any age group. Whether you're looking for quality family time doing something other than a movie or going out to eat, looking to build teamwork with your co-workers, celebrating a birthday, or looking for something unique to do for Date Night...Breakout is the way to go.

Great idea for a team event with 10 VR stations and great professional staff that helped get those up to speed on VR. The place itself is new, very clean, well lit and nicely decorated.

My husband and I were visiting from out of town and stumbled upon this place. The staff members (especially Vanessa!) were so kind to us. We have two teens and a four year old and they all had a blast!! Trampolines, rockwall, something they call bashballs, jousting! I don't even write reviews for places, but I thought they really deserve it! The place was a real find!

Safari Nation

Safari Nation is a Family Entertainment Center, also known as a Children’s Fitness Center. In 2012 in Greensboro, NC, Safari Nation was founded by a husband and wife who believed that parents needed a good place to take their children to play. The business soon became widely popular because of the clean, safe, and secure environment offered. It gives kids a chance to burn some energy, regardless of weather conditions outside, while parents can relax as their kids have some fun. All parents know of the importance of physical activity in childhood, and Safari Nation’s play areas encourage physical activity in a way that is fun. With a jungle gym, zipline, bumper cars, toddler playground and inflatables, children are more motivated to burn calories and stay fit as they laugh and play with others.

Took my six year old son here for some indoor fun on a cold day. We paid one price just for him and the don't charge for adults. Great facility for young children 5-12 and for toddlers under 5. They have a Sperate play area for smaller children so they don't get hurt. Great indoor facility with play area including slides, bounce houses, bumper cars, jungle gym and zip line for kids. Staff was very friendly and all prices were very reasonable. Definitely coming back.
