Falmouth Family Fun
Whether you’re searching for a rainy day adventure or things to do before or after the beach, Falmouth offers something for everyone. Ryan Family Amusement has long been a staple in downtown Falmouth, with candlepin bowling, arcade games and game rooms for birthday parties and special events. Located in Town Hall Square with easy access and ample parking, it’s just steps away from Eight Cousins – Falmouth’s famed book store for both young and old. Take a spin on the hand-carved Carousel of Light at Mullen-Hall Elementary School and head over to Falmouth Public Library for special events, lectures, and author talks for all ages. In the summer season, Falmouth Village Association presents outdoor movies on Wednesday evenings, while Thursday nights are reserved for the Falmouth Town Band at the bandshell overlooking Falmouth Harbor.
