Activity Overview
Think of all the things that you were told not to do in school and finally do it here! The McMenamins chain has converted this old elementary school building into a hotel, movie theater, and a dining establishment. The result is a fun and unconventional experience.
Things to Do
- Take a trip down memory lane and remember your elementary school days. Do you miss having lunch at your school cafeteria? Take the family and dine at The Courtyard Restaurant.
- Get tickets to watch the screening at the theater. Experience watching movies at the school's old auditorium with an optional glass of ale or wine. Check their website for the showtimes.
- For an adults-only night out, order your favorite drinks at the school's old boiler room now turned into a multilevel bar - The Boiler Room Bar. If you wish to go on 'detention' and puff some cigar, go straight to The Detention Room.
- If you're up for fun night filled with music, visit the Honors Bar for some classical and operatic music or if it's reggae that your looking for, then the Cypress Room bar will definitely suit your mood.
- Take time to look at the different artworks, photos, and furnishings in the building. Get a history pamphlet from the 'Principal's Office' to get to know more about the Kennedy School and its history since it was built in 1915.
