I have officially run out of things to do with my 16 year old boy, I am close to becoming an uncool dad. Are there any recommendations to keep me relevant?

He loves video games, we go here occasionally https://sites.google.com/site/gamesnatsite/

Three Rivers Paintball is a blast. I've gone with my nephews. They have paintball and a form of it with smaller plastic balls called air soft but we never played that. They're open all year I think and mostly on weekends. My nephews have everything needed but you can rent everything. It's intense.

I thought about that but I don't want to get shot on my day off.

Steel City Indoor Karting in Monroeville. These aren't kids karts, these are high powered electric indoor go karts that will do about 35 MPH (though when fully tuned they can do 50 MPH) and pull over 1 lateral G around turns.

It's a very nice facility and well run, plus they also have some basic arcade games inside too. They just opened up in June.

I do have to warn you though, this place is incredibly addicting. There's an old saying that if you get your kids into racing, they'll never have enough money for drugs.

ski/snowboard at seven spring/hidden valley. great winter time way to get outdoors and be active. Definitely not the cheapest of sports to start, but very worth learning in my opinion.
