Putt Putt Golf on Rio Road is a fantastic non-drinking activity to enjoy in Charlottesville. Be sure to check their hours because the business is having some staffing issues right, but if they are open, Putt-Putt Golf on Rio Road is an A+ non-drinking activity in Charlottesville!

Kegler’s is a large bowling alley with an arcade, pool tables, a restaurant and, of course, bowling. During the week, you can find cheaper prices than the weekend at Kegler’s. We love the disco bowling night. Bowling is certainly a fun non-drinking activity in Charlottesville.

The only museum in the United States dedicated to the exhibition and study of Australian Aboriginal Art. Our mission is to advance knowledge and understanding of Australia’s Indigenous people and their art and culture worldwide. Working with living artists, international scholars and arts professionals, we provide a wide range of learning experiences to the University community and the public through exhibition, research and educational programs.

The Kluge-Ruhe Collection came into being in 1997 through a gift by American businessman, John W. Kluge (1914-2010). Influenced by the Dreamings exhibition in New York, Mr. Kluge began collecting Aboriginal art in 1988. Over the next decade he compiled one of the finest private collections of Australian Aboriginal art in the world.
