It has new furniture, new games and a larger-than-life gaming experience. Students can enjoy multiple 3-D high-definition televisions and gaming consoles that will impress even the most seasoned gamer.

Not into video games? Spend some time on the new indoor sports courts or scaling the climbing or boulder walls.

Membership to Two50 is free. Parents must register students, and participants must have a membership card.
