Things to do in Silver Spring, MD
There are quite a few things to do in downtown Silver Spring. Setting aside the fact that Washington D.C. is ten minutes away, and that opens up the avalanche of things you could probably do, Silver Spring itself offers more than just a handful. From theatre performances to historical sites and art galleries to serene parks and eclectic shopping.
- Lumina Studio Theatre on Pershing Dr.: The theatre is one of the best experiences in Silver Spring. Well they all are, but this one’s a favorite among patrons and theatre goers. There are five other theatres and choosing any one of these will result in a wonderful experience in contemporary theatrical performances. Try either Bonifant Theatre on 949 Bonifant St , Mont.Coll. at TP Black Box Theatre on Phila. & Chicago, Montgomery College Cultural Arts Center on 7995 Georgia Ave, Round House Theatre on 8641 Colesville Rd, or Round House Theatre Education Center on 925 Wayne Ave.
- Steven T. Hanks Art Gallery on Eastern Ave.: Steven Hanks is a gifted artist from a long line of artists. His work strikes a chord with people of distinctive style and eye for balance and color. There seems to be a number of artists in this small suburb aside from Mr. Hanks. When you are in Silver Spring do take a moment to visit him.
- Roadhouse Oldies on Silver Spring Ave.: If you are one of those that loves oldies, like Motown, or you feel good with James Brown, or you like daydreaming with Aretha Franklin, you have to stop by this place. They have every hit and album that you can think off and they will put your selection on a CD while you wait.
- Jesup Blair Park on Georgia Ave.: If you are into sports and fancy working out on your trips, then you will become familiar with Jesup Blair Park. They have two tennis courts, baseball and softball fields as well as a soccer field and a playground. It’s a good way to get the heart pumping while you’re in town.
- White Oak Duckpin Lanes on New Hampshire Ave.: Nothing beats heading over to the lanes and racking up a few goods strikes and spares. It’s an unexpected thing to do but when you’re away on business, living out of a suitcase for weeks, after some time just about the only thing you can do on a regular basis is go bowling. This place is a fantastic spot to do just that.
