Come On In, There's Plenty to Do!

There's plenty to do indoors in Lincoln City; that's why we say the beach is just the beginning. On those rainy or stormy days when you're looking for indoor activities, start with a little storm watching. If you have the right vantage point to look out over the Ocean, you can actually see the fronts come it. For the more active, you can hone your golf strokes at Chinook Winds Golf Resort's Indoor Driving Range or the Putt N Bat or teach your children the lost art of the strike at Delake Bowl, located at 316 SE Highway 101 (they have billiards, too!). If you've had a busy day and want to be entertained, sit back and see a play at Theatre West, or take in your favorite movie at the Lincoln City Cinemas 6-Plex or Bijou Theatre.

Community Center / Driftwood Library / Casino / Putt and Bat / North Lincoln County Historical Museum / Movies & Live Theatre

A great place to start is the Lincoln City Community Center, on NE 22nd Street (behind Oceanlake Elks). Call the lifeguards at the heated indoor pool (541-994-2131) or click here for the schedule of recreational swims with a waterslide, laps and classes. The facility also houses the senior center and meal site, fitness center, a community bulletin board, and a state of the art basketball court, walking track and rock climbing wall.

Another popular gathering place is the Driftwood Public Library, located in the second floor of the Lincoln Square building (801 SW Hwy 101, next to Price N Pride). Citizens are justly proud of the library's selection of books, tapes, and periodicals, as well as its bright and colorful children's reading room.

One of the most popular indoor spots in Lincoln City can be found at the Chinook Winds Casino Resort, on the north end of town. The casino's resort boasts a 247-room full service hotel, six restaurants, a video game arcade, live evening entertainment, child care, and of course, a few games for adults. For more information on featured entertainment and amenities please visit the Chinook Winds Casino Resort website.

Teach your children the lost art of the strike at Delake Bowl, 316 SE Highway 101 (billiards, too), or the gentleman's game of miniature golf at All-American Putt-N-Bat. For a smorgasbord of athletics, head to Chinook Winds Golf Resort (just north of town), which offers one-day memberships that include basketball, racquetball, Nautilus equipment, aerobics, free weights, and an indoor driving range, one of the largest in the Pacific Northwest.

		To exercise your mind, visit the North Lincoln County Historical Museum, 4907 SW Highway 101 in the Taft district of Lincoln City. Learn how the community developed and how the Native Americans and white settlers lived many years ago. The archive houses an exhibit dedicated to the city's eponymous President Abraham Lincoln, as well as a rotation of special showings dedicated to other eras in the region's history. The museum was recently remodeled and opened new exhibits.

Or, take in a movie at the historic Bijou Theatre, 1624 NE Highway 101 (541-994-8255). It's an old-time movie house with first run flicks. Or, for a more modern environment, visit the Lincoln City Cinemas 6 movie theater, 3755 SE High School Drive (541-994-7469), for the latest movie releases.

And if live theater is your ticket, Theatre West presents Lincoln City's local talent at their best, 3536 SE Highway 101. www.theatrewest.com

No matter what, don't let the showers get you down. Grab inexpensive plastic rain suits, windbreakers and umbrellas, available at stores all over Lincoln City and hit the beach!
