US National Whitewater Center
Recreation
15 mi
Remember how important recess was when you were a kid in school? It not only meant a time away from studying, it was also a time to relax, rejuvenate and reenergize. Like most adults striving to create a “recess” outside of work, we too wanted to continue this idea. Our goal was to create a unique place that would allow people to escape their daily routine to spend some time outdoors. That idea came to fruition in August 2006, with the opening of the U.S. National Whitewater Center (USNWC). With over 24 activities, a restaurant, live music shows and events, we’ve deemed this the perfect playground for both children and adults. Recess is back.

In the mood for a variety of local beers and a delicious bratwurst? Stop by VBGB Beer Hall & Garden and play a round of giant chess, ping pong, or oversized connect 4. Are you the clubbing kind? Get along to Saddle Up for a country-themed evening, or Label, where the Ivory Lounge represents the finest in upscale club interiors and everyone from DJ Complete to Calvin Harris rocks the house on the regular. If you need to take your special someone out for a lavish meal, Osso’s unique menu and interior are exactly what you’re looking for.
