    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

    Perhaps you could tell us a bit about what you would like to do? Then we can tell you if this is available in Galway.

    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.
