5 Activities To Try After 60

You’ve probably been told to try walking, golf, or a book club. All good choices—but what if you want something that makes your friends say, “You did what?”

1. Go On A Truffle Hunt

Join a guide and a trained dog to search for these prized culinary treasures. It’s part woodland outing, part treasure hunt—with the dog doing most of the detective work.

2. Try An Introductory Glassblowing Workshop

Watch molten glass become a colorful keepsake while learning alongside an instructor. Choose a beginner workshop and ask how much of the process you’ll do yourself. Your next conversation piece could be one you helped create.

3. Take An Improv Comedy Class

No script, no memorization, and no requirement to be the funniest person in the room. Beginner improv is about listening, playing along, and getting comfortable with the unexpected. A lifetime of peculiar encounters might finally come in handy.

4. Spend An Evening Looking Through A Telescope

Try a public observatory night or an astronomy club gathering. Let someone help you find planets, star clusters, and other wonders you’ve been walking underneath for years. Bring curiosity—and a warm jacket.

5. Become A Citizen Scientist

Help count birds, photograph wildlife, or document plants through an organized project. Choose one that provides instructions and fits your interests. An ordinary outing can become a small contribution to a much bigger discovery.

Pick the one that makes you curious. You don’t need a new personality—just a willingness to have an unfamiliar afternoon. We can help you find events listed above, drop us a line at info@letsgetupandgo.com with your location and we can send you details.
