Boystown
Located in Chicago's North Side, this vibrant neighborhood is known for its exciting nightlife and for being one of the largest LGBTQIA+ communities in the city. It's the host of the annual Chicago Pride Parade, and a must-see in the area is the Legacy Walk on Halsted Street, where you can learn about the contributions of the LGBTQIA+ community while admiring the colorful street art and rainbow crosswalks. Check out the unique shops and then grab a bite at one of the area's delicious Thai or Mexican restaurants. At night, visit one of the neighborhood's bars to enjoy a drag show, concert, and tasty cocktail. Consider taking a food or walking tour of Chicago that stops by Boystown. – Tripadvisor

Archery Arena (Dodgeball Archery)
Archery Arena is the first and only dedicated Combat Archery facility in Cincinnati. Think dodgeball with specially made bows and arrows. Battle it out with friends, co-workers, and strangers! Strategize and win! It’s a fun, safe, and addicting sport that gets progressively more intense at the session progresses. Book individual tickets or come as group. Great Team Building Activity.
