Besides bars/clubs/restaurants, where else do you go/do when you want to get out of the house?

• Public swimming pool
• Public library
• Public park
• walking path by the river
• espresso bar
• public bath (with the little one)
• friends house
• family (in law) house
• mall / department store
• cinema
• walk or bicycle around the neighborhood
• supermarket

Walks around town

Bike ride

Gym

Walk along the stream looking at the mallards

Trail running (as soon as I get started with it...)

Park/square bench, filled thermos and something to read

I just meander without purpose, going whichever way feels good. The unaimed arrow never misses.

I live in a walkable city so I have a lot of options by just going outside on foot.

The park. Sometimes for a walk, sometimes for a bike ride.

Grocery store or something nearby. Get a snack or something for dinner.

Thrift store, though that's a bike ride or train ride.

Library. Just browse the stacks.

Bookstore, less often, but sometimes it's fun to see what they have.

Record shop, rarely, because I don't have a record player but a few friends do, and I might see something they'd like.

Sometimes I just walk around without a goal. See what there is to see around here.

the beach. chicago set it aside for public use instead of reserving it only for the rich and now the lake front is several giant parks with at least one beach on each one and lots of other stuff to do.

i prefer the beaches w/o children (eg hollywood) where you can spend all day & night having a good time until the police make everyone leave and they have a restaurant & bar on the beaches that's really convenient and with a beach friendly dress code on the adult beaches.

I like natural areas on the whole but also cityscapes. Riding the metro system with something read can be nice to. Belonging to a maker space is nice to. Its like one of those old timey social clubs but cheap and with a cool art/craft vibe.

I don't have a place! It's becoming a major problem.

Thrift stores.

Hiking

Forest walk with dog.

My neighborhood is mostly concrete and apartments, but a few blocks away it’s multimillion dollar houses, well kept lawns, and huge shade trees. So I cross the 8 lane highway to get there and enjoy walking around and looking at their expensive shit for free.

Local arboretum and other gardens are nice. Parks. Boating, if the weather is right for it.

Board. Game. Clubs.

They are f___ing awesome!

-Gym

-Dance Studio

-Concerts

-Free Events (there's always something on Eventbrite)

Museums, art galleries

Movies/cinemas

Hiking on trails or just walking

Shopping mall, even just for window shopping

The beach if nearby

Library

The river, the park, a forest, anywhere but a bar, a club, or a restaurant.

Kart racing, I'm talking about the 200 cubic centimeter karts on outdoor raceways. When taking part in the group I'm usually the only girl there and I've come 1st enough times that people in the groups know me as a person worth challenging. I love feeling those lateral G's even though I always end up with bruises on my inner thighs afterwards!

Mountain bike riding with friends mainly. Also just bush walkkng/hiking.

If you want something more consistent join a group especially one organized around a common activity. When I moved to a new city I joined a local game stores weekly DnD game. It was $5 per week and we played in person every week. It was the same rotating cast so it was fun to meet the same people.

I just joined a running group. While a few are crazy distance runners who do multiple marathons a year, including those who do multiple ultra-marathons a year, there are more casual people like me. Its great to exercise every week and then we get to chat afterwards when we go out for food. These are common in most cities and there might even be more than 1 to try out.

The great things about these groups is you can skip a week without any issue and then just join back in. A shared interest allows you to chat about that as a jumping off point. Also some of these are a wide age range which is interesting to see people in different stages of life.

The dog park!

There's not much else around, where I live. The crowd at the dive bars are so not my kind of people. I used to explore the country backroads too, but at this point if I'm going to be alone I'm probably reading (or writing like right now).

Park, plant nursery, or Sonic- an American fast food restaurant where you drive up and park or they have a couple of outside tables and it's pretty good for people watching.

Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

Unfortunately I get off work at 11pm and not much is open that late so I rarely go out.

Grocery store if I need to just get out.

Thrift stores if I’ve got more time.

Driving out to a restaurant far outside of town if I’ve got more time.

Grocery store, liquor store, basement.

Parks. Not every state / city has good ones. We have awesome parks where I live. Not so much when we went to visit my family last month.

Hiking, socialist work or socialist socializing, friends, that's mostly it

Cemeteries

Just walk around the neighborhood or bike around town, me.

gotta find hella spots in your city to chill with yourself or someone. Also finding some cool places to drive around, go shopping at random small trinket stores or smoke

The areas of the city center that aren't overrun by filthy tourists or the park

Basketball court

With an achilles injury and a great apartment, I'm only leaving for shopping and various appointments. Why the hell else would I go out in this mess? :-D

We have an incredible local park with a great greenhouse that has tables you can sit at and read and have coffee.

To my back yard, where I light up the firepit, and drink whiskey

My yard. I've gotten really into my gardens and hardscaping.

Mountain biking, hiking, skiing, or golfing.

Life outdoors is so enjoyable and cathartic.

The woods Parks Mountains Just outside Music Fairs

Free:

Pokemon go walk, go to park, play with the dog, sit on the porch, go look at the river or go downtown and walk around, or to the beach.

Paid:

Zipline! Expensive here but fun! Mini golf, roller skating, bowling, or zoo. Busch Gardens if we have a pass for the year.

Mall. I live close enough to one and I can catch a bus that has a stop close to an entrance. That, and there's a shop I can go to for things like loose dice for something like 99¢ per diem and new and used manga.

Beach.

Gym and dog parks.

Coffee shop

Mountain biking, beach, rock climbing, climbing gym, snowboarding, trail run, photo walk, games night, camping ... I like where I live!

Political organising and the occasional house party/social event. Sometimes I just go for a walk/wander about, have found some interesting places that way.

why all of your answers relatively the same and rather un-unique?
