Top Active Leisure Sport in Latvia

Check the event calendar before you go. I went on a random Saturday and ended up missing an exciting race because I didn't look ahead!

Bring your own snacks and drinks. The food options were a bit pricey, and I wish I had packed something for the day.

Try to arrive by 10 AM to snag a good parking spot and beat the crowds. The later it gets, the more chaotic it becomes.

I recommend booking your lane in advance, especially on weekends. It gets super busy and you'll waste time waiting around otherwise.

When you’re done bowling, check out the arcade section. I didn’t realize how much fun it would be and the prices are pretty reasonable too.

If you're visiting with kids, plan for a few hours and let them burn off their energy. Keep an eye on their jump time though, as it’s easy to lose track!

My advice is to wear comfy clothes and bring some water. You’ll definitely work up a sweat jumping around, and staying hydrated is key!

I think you should try to go during the weekday afternoons if possible; it was way less crowded, and we had a lot more room to jump.

Think about bringing a refillable water bottle. The heat can sneak up on you during hikes, and it's way cheaper than buying bottled water inside. I had to pay way too much for a small bottle.

I suggest downloading a map or trail app before heading out; cell service can be spotty and getting lost is no fun. Trust me, I learned that the hard way!

My advice is to download offline maps before your trip. Cell service can be spotty, but I got lost a few times. It was adventurous, but not ideal for time-saving!

If you're into history, don’t skip the Turaida Castle. The entrance fee is reasonable and the views are stunning. I thought I'd skip it, but it turned out to be a highlight!
