Folks looking to get active after a long bus ride can head around the block from the terminal to Wild Walls Climbing Gym on West Second Street. There visitors can buy a day pass and boulder without any previous experience. Inquisitive minds can head one half mile west from the terminal, on West Main Street, to explore physics, biology and chaos theory exhibits at Mobius Science Center -- except on Mondays, when it's closed.
Travelers can catch a cheap movie with bottomless popcorn at Magic Lantern Theatre, four blocks northeast of the terminal on West Main Street. In the evening, enjoy a concert or comedy act at the Knitting Factory, one half mile west of the terminal, on West Sprague Street. Gibliano Brothers Dueling Piano Bar and Music House, on West Riverside Street, less than a half mile from the terminal, hosts weeknight karaoke and weekend piano performances.
Several restaurants line the streets surrounding the Spokane Greyhound station. If you're hungry for breakfast, head one block west on West Sprague Street to Satellite Diner. Try the Hen Fruit on the Red River: hash browns covered with cheese, chili and two over-easy eggs. For lunch, eat at Herbal Essence Cafe on nearby North Washington Street for hearty sandwiches, salads and soups. Santé, on West Main Street, provides sustainable dinner fare in farm-to-table fashion. Travelers on a budget will appreciate Thai on First (named for its location on West First Avenue) and the Red Lion BBQ and Pub on North Division Street -- all mere blocks from the terminal.
Two popular parks are within walking distance of the Spokane Greyhound terminal: Riverfront and Pioneer Park. Four blocks north of the terminal on the Spokane River, Riverfront Park has a number of elaborate attractions. These include an IMAX Theater, miniature golf course and amusement park rides. The park also has a number of peaceful trails with views of the Spokane Falls. Pioneer Park, less than a mile south of the terminal off South Stevens Street, is a woodsy city park great for lounging.
