5 Places to Be Without Alcohol in Delco #FiveFriday


 
Are you tired of the typical night having drinks and going to the same restaurants, or maybe you are just not a fan of the bar scene? Of course the Delaware County area has its array of nightlife, but it seems that restaurants and bars are the only focus. But what about the people that don’t enjoy bars but still want to have a memorable and exciting night? With the spring weather finally arriving, and summer just around the corner let these five places make it a night you won’t forget, without having alcohol included.  

 




 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
With this quaint, and rustic theatre being located near the heart of Media it is truly a staple in the art community for Delaware County. The building is a contributing structure in the Rose Valley Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places. With its roots in the artisan/craftsman movement at the turn of the last century, the building itself is a site to see. Take a step back in time as you are seated in a very intimate theatre, with the audience and actors alike engaging one another. Get lost in the beauty of the theatre, and the marvelous story telling portrayed by the company. With performances running through spring and summer, Hedgerow could be the perfect place for art lovers and history buffs to attend each weekend. Also attendance will not break the bank with ticket prices listed at:

·         Adult - $34

·         Senior- $31

·         Under 30/Student- $20

 




 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
With the MLS season just kicking off, watching the Philadelphia Union at Talen Energy Stadium could be the perfect night out. Listening to the roar of the 18,000+ fans cheering can’t help but make you fall in love with this sport. The fans themselves are truly a sight to see, especially the iconic “Sons of Ben” who lead the crowd in chants and put their own “Philly” attitude into the mix. Come see one the fastest growing teams in Philadelphia, and learn how to “Doop” with the fans. With many promotional nights going throughout the season, like Delco Night, this could be a wonderful night out for the entire family, and sports fans alike. This too is also a money saver with some tickets starting as low as $27.

 



 
 
 
 
 
Now you can’t think spring without thinking baseball, and the Blue Rocks offer exactly what you need to get your baseball fix. With Frawley Stadium located in the Wilmington Riverfront, spending a spring night there could not get any better. Come see rising stars play their way to the major league, with every “monster” home-run and last second diving grab. And why not top off a Friday night game with a spectacular fireworks display that will sure be a site to see lighting up the riverfront. And don’t worry if you miss your chance that night, the Blue Rocks offer fireworks every Friday night. They too are a huge money saver with general admission tickets being $8 for children, and $12 for adults.

 




 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Now if you’re the type of person who likes to take risks for a chance of big rewards, then Harrah’s Casino might be the perfect spot for you to spend a night out. Now with Harrah’s being considered to have the best variety/selection of table games in the Philadelphia area, you could try your luck with any game you please. Also with 2,000 slots available you could sit back and try your luck landing the “triple cherries”. But if table games aren’t for you, and you’re looking for a little more excitement in your gambling, why not hit the racetrack with Harrah’s having betting on horse races seven days a week. Also Harrah’s has become known for not only gambling, but having an array of excellent shows as that could sure entertain you throughout the night. With so much excitement just a few minutes away you will surely become a repeat customer.

 




 
 
 
 
With summer quickly approaching why not beat the heat at IceWorks, and cool off while you lap it up on the ice. If you enjoy ice skating, or would like to learn how then IceWorks could be a great spot. Come check out their “Open Skate” events for the public for only $10 (free for children under 4). But if you’re more of a hockey type of person and have no team to play with, then IceWorks has the solution. Having “Open Hockey” events allows you the opportunity to play hockey without having to worry about finding a team. Just show up and enjoy a pickup game of hockey along other players in the area. With “Open Hockey” only costing $10 this is a very inexpensive way to play for athletes, and if you are a goalie then we have great news for you. Goalies can step on the ice for FREE at “Open Hockey”.
