6 Fun Alternatives to Hanging Out On Campus

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

As much as we all love Fairfield U, we’d be lying if we said it isn’t nice to get off campus every once in a while. Luckily there are a number of fun things to do in the county of Fairfield!

 

1. Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo- Bridgeport, CT.

You’re never to old to appreciate cute animals, plus it’s the only zoo in the state!

2. Sheffield Island Lighthouse- Norwalk, CT.

Because who doesn’t love a lighthouse and a boat ride tour of marinas, yacht clubs and waterfront properties? 

3. Rockin’  Jump- Trumbull, CT.

Have a lot of pent up energy from sitting in class all day? Rockin’ Jump has wall-to-wall trampolines that’ll leave you sleeping like a baby that night. 

4. Hotspot Glass Studio- Fairfield, CT.

Now this place is really, really cool. Anyone is welcome to go in and watch the expert glass blowers work their magic- or you can take classes and take home your masterpieces! 

5. SoNo Ice House- South Norwalk, CT.

Still feeling guilty about not following your dreams to be a professional ice skater? SoNo Ice House can let you and your friends live this dream for a few hours with their two NHL sized rinks. 

6. AMF Milford Lanes- Milford, CT.

Bowling is undoubtedly one of everyone’s favorite pastimes. Just don’t forget to bring a pair of socks! 

Just your average college sophomore. Except not.
