Once a summer destination for city residents, Jamaica Pond is now a tranquil urban oasis, perfect for paddling or rather tame sailing. A 1.4-mile paved path circles the glacial kettlehole. Rowboats and sailboats are available for rental at the 1913 Tudor boat house. The pond is even stocked with fish, though you'll need your own equipment and a MA fishing license.

Codzilla
‘Boating’ may not be the proper word to describe this activity, which takes place on a 2800HP speedboat that cruises through the waves at speeds of up to 40mph. Painted like a multicolored shark with a big toothy grin, the boat has a unique hull design that enables it to do the ocean version of doughnuts.

Jillian’s & Lucky Strike
Bowling, billiards, and gettin' jiggy with it. That's what you can do at this enormous, three-story entertainment complex, which also has seven bars and a full-service menu. On the 2nd floor, the 50 pool tables are in pristine condition. Upstairs, the high-tech bowling alley has only 16 flashy lanes, so sometimes it's a long wait.
People also come here to play darts and table tennis and to ogle members of the opposite sex. After 8pm Jillian’s has a strict no-sportswear dress code that is enforced, as is the 21-and-over age policy.

Kings
For an over-the-top tenpin experience, roll a few at Kings, where high-tech lanes are lined with neon lights and surrounded by trippy graphics. Behind deck is an enormous cocktail lounge done up in a style reminiscent of The Jetsons. If bowling is not your game, there is also billiards, shuffleboard and skeeball.
Contrary to that, this is not the Jersey Shore: mind the dress code. Also, you must be 21 or older after 6pm.
