Reading (Pennsylvania) activities: What to do in Reading (Pennsylvania)
There are a few clubs around, along with the Sovereign Center which houses many sporting events including the Reading Royals, the local hockey team and the Reading Express, an IFL indoor football team. It first opened its doors in September of 2001 and began hosting several different events. The center has attracted many famous artists including Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, the Blue Man Group, Matchbox 20, the American Idol Tour, Rod Stewart, Kid Rock, and Clay Aikan. The Sovereign Performing Arts Center also hosts many traveling productions such as the Nutcracker around the holidays and the Reading Symphony orchestra, a surprisingly excellent group given the town it's in.
The Reading Phillies play at Reading's baseball stadium, causing the town for a time to acquire the rather dubious title of "Baseball Town, USA".
There are also many golf courses in the Reading area. One inparticular is The Reading Country Club. It is 18 holes in the outskirts of Reading in Exeter Township. It is a challeneging public coure measuring 6,1612 yards and a par of 71. The course had been open since 1922 and in 1937 Byron Nelson, a Masters Champion, was the golf pro. Later in 1940 Henry Clay Poe became the golf pro at The Reading Country Club. Many more golf pro's came after them, but these two are memorable enough to have a room named after each of them in the clubhouse, that is now a beautiful restaurant. Within the clubhouse, you can either enjoy the excellent food in the Grille Room or on the Porch. The Grille room is a casual atmosphere where there are 6 tvs to watch the latest sporting events and a beautiful bar where you can enjoy a drink after a round of golf or while you're waiting for your table. But if you'd rather a more romantic atmosphere try dining in the Porch.
Another great place that everyone will enjoy is Berks Lanes. It is located in Sinking Spring, PA at 3190 Shillington Road. Whether you want to join a league, glow bowl, have a birthday party, or just hang out with friends and family, Berks Lanes has something for everyone. They have an extensive food menu, an arcade, billiards, bumpers for kids, and a lounge.
