Personally, I was scared that Bournemouth would be just a ‘dead town’ with nothing much to do. However, it’s quite the opposite, once I got to Bournemouth and actually began enjoying the lifestyle here. The nightlife is great, but for this blog, I will focus more on places you can go with your friends to do fun activities.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Crazy Golf – Mr Mulligan Bournemouth
    \nIt’s located in the BH2 Leisure building and in front of the Hilton Hotel. The normal price for a student is \u00a39 but if you go after 7 pm on Wednesday, you’ll get it for \u00a35 per person! You can book your tickets online here: Mr Mulligan<\/a><\/p>\n
  2. Bowling + Arcades – Bowl Central
    \nThis place is located near the Pavillion. Bowling is just \u00a37 per game for each student and the arcades offer student price as well! You can make the reservation for the bowling alley here:     Bowl Central<\/a> and you can just walk in to play in the arcades with your student ID.<\/p>\n
  3. Laser Tag – Laser Quest Glen Fern Road
    \nYou can come here on Tuesday as they do ‘Student Tuesday’ with offers \u00a38 for 3 games! Student ID will be required and you can make your bookings here:     Laser Quest Bournemouth<\/a><\/p>\n
  4. Museums – Russell-Cotes Museum & Art Gallery and Poole Museum
    \nThese are good places you can go with your friends and get to know more about Bournemouth. The stafs are very friendly and they often have an interesting exhibition going on. They also have a ‘play area’ where you can do fun activities with your friends.\u00a0 Russell-Cotes Museum & Art Gallery offers a student price of \u00a34 and you can make your reservation here:     Russell-Cotes<\/a><\/p>\n
  5. Adventures – Old Harry Rocks and Corfe Castle
    \nIf you and your friends would like to go for an adventure nearby, these places are totally worth it. You can get bus number 50 by MoreBus to Studland, and from the bus stop, you can walk through the farms and hills towards Old Harry Rocks.<\/p>\n

    I would take bus number 40 by MoreBus to Swanage and stop at Village Centre. It’s just walking distance from the bus stop and you can walk around the village as well! Or if you fancy walking around the Isle of Purbeck, you can walk from Studland to Corfe Castle.<\/p>\n
