Drinks & Nightlife
Downtown. After serving dinner, kol becomes a dance or drinks place. Also has the coolest game place (Press Start) in the basement below (entrance just outside and to the east) So much fun, but bring your change. Also, check for age requirements. At night I believe it is 21 and older.

My favorite place ever. But PLEASE, do NOT go near the buffalo/bison. They are big and can be very mean. They do not have great tolerance for tourists. Inside the car is best. Much more wildlife here, horse trails, and lakes for fishing.
