Places for teens to hang out with friends?

A swimming pool, an arcade room, a cinema/TV room, a bar, a nightclub, camping trips, a park, the gym, etc.

I have a “teen center” with a few activities like ping pong, foosball, a TV, speakers to dance to, and a skating rink. They like to play foosball the most when I set group activities to “play pub games”, IIRC.

Even in real life my teens hung out in our basement rec room or in our garage. Everyone always ended up at our house afterschool and sporting events etc. I do the same in the game.

In my games, they hang out at the bars and drink. It's an option.......js.....

For some strange reason Maxis programmed that Teens hang out at parks late in the evening, so if you want to meet other Teens, you can go there, teens spawn in parks in the evening.

Yes, I am aware how weird that sounds.

A lot of my teens hang out at the plane lot in strangerville. I turned it into a park which attracts teens I thought it would be a “cool” hangout for them

The stuff packs offer some fun activities for teens, like a bowling hall or a cinema. I found a great cinema on the gallery

The Bluffs!
Sometimes I start as early as child stage with a couple of friends - and then it just becomes their little hangout as they grow older together. A great place for both children and teens.

Coffee shops are a good one aswell if you have get together, a good place to do homework and socialize

I have the GT and Bowling packs, so I create a teen bowling club. It is a good way to make friends and find romance for my teens I've found. Plus, with DU, when they go off to Uni, they get a 200 simolean bowling scholarship.
