Activities in Rio; Pool, Cinema, Bowling, Darts and Go Kart
Are you looking for where you can do activities in Rio like pool, darts or bowling? Maybe you want to go to the movies? I for one try to get out once a week to play pool with my friends.
Hustling at Clube do Taco in Copacabana.Pool Playing pool, or sinuca as they call it here, is popular and there are quite a few places around. Go to
Pool in Rio
to find out where they are. Cinema Just click
Cinema in Rio
and you will get all the info you need. Bowling Boliche in Portuguese, is not a really big game in Rio. You will find it in some of the shopping malls and it´s more for the wealthier since it´s quite pricey. The connection with American culture is strong. The two places I have listed are both in Barra de Tijuca and are accessible by bus from Zona Sul. Barra Bowling, Barra Shopping, Av. das Américas 4666, Barra de Tijuca map, phone 2431-9566. 20 lanes. Open latest from 12h. Site:
