    In the sticky Activities and Resources in Galway you can find suggestions. Also look in old posts - this is not the first time someone wants ideas for non-alcho stuff to do.
    Myself, I plan to attend drumming classes and learn French this winter.
    May even join a theatre group. And a sports team.
    Every Wednesday there's stand up in Roisins for a fiver if you're a memeber.

    See? Loads of stuff.

    stuff to do rather than stuff to watch

    If you mean Gorilla games instead of Monkey business (?), it's closed down.

    Theres a go cart place out in Oranmore or a much better one out in Tynagh near Loughrea ,there was one in Liosban yonks ago but it was pretty ****.
    Dont know bout paintballing may have to travel a bit further for that.
    I think Bikos suggestions were good to be honest,something for individuals and groups.Saying they're for pensioners gives the grumpy teenager impression,no offence.
    Why not take up wind surfing, theres a school in Rusheen Bay.
