Kids love arcades- parents do not. Why? Because your child plays one game and then comes and asks for another quarter. By the end of the trip, you end up spending way more money then you wanted.
Deep Creek’s newest local business, Fun Unlimited, has the answer to this dilemma- you pay hourly. They are currently offering specials where the first hour is $15, the second is $10, and $5 for additional hours.
The arcade offers over 90 games, including 30 vintage ones!
Located in Deer Park, Maryland, right near Deep Creek Lake, is Flying Scot Sailboats. Since 1956, the company has excelled in producing Flying Scot’s- a Sailing Hall of Fame design! These boats are speedy, safe, and dependable.
Coming to Maryland in 1958, the company has grown through out the years into a Deep Creek staple. The current owner, Harry Carpenter, worked his way up from the bottom: working at the sailing school as a college student, to the factory, and now he is the owner of the whole business!
Deep Creek Sailing School offers junior weeks, adult weeks and private lessons.
