Video games
Oh good call! Thank goodness hubby has games to choose from!
Bowling, arcade, Sky Zone (indoor trampolines), go kart racing, bake something, movies (rent or theater)
Love the sky zone idea! Thank you!!
Sky High. Take a day off work and school and go when no one is around at like 10am (if you are covid concerned). Jumping on trampolines for 2 hours is amazing. Great workout and sure shot way to #1 in the kid's heart. Make a day of it and get food and ice cream after, then nap and movie night. Best Funcle of the year award! (Assuming you are a guy).
I'm in my 30s and still do this occasionally for my bday.

Outdoor stuff in the snow is still going to be fun for a 14 year old. Maybe cook dinner together, if you have a Nintendo switch there are super fun games to play, or have a contest to find the best bad movie on Netflix and crack up commenting on it.
With teenagers, shoulder to shoulder is usually better than face to faceâŠ
That's a good way to think about it! Thank you!
ask him what or where he wants to eat all the time. young people love getting to exercise some agency (as small as choosing dinner option seems). If youâre on a budget, you can give him a list of options and ask him to choose
Family fondue night
Take him to Vegas!

Aww bless you OP, thats sweet that you want to make sure he has funâșïž
My aunt would just roll her eyes and sigh whenever she got asked to watch me as a kid. She would just put some old vhs movies on and mostly ignore me.
That makes me so sad! My nieces and nephew are honestly such a blessing I've always wanted to get more time with them!
fireworks are always a good crowd pleaser
Indoor paintball. Shooting range(if youâre into that stuff). Sneak him a beer and donât tell the parents.
Board games or card games. My nieces this age love to play games with me and stay up late and eat junk food.

When my nieces and nephews come over for a couple of days, I tell them to think of something theyâve always wanted to do, and we do it. I give them ideas that I can manage, of course. Bowling, arcade room, try a new restaurant/food.
