Cinema being a firm favourite. Some require support to go to the nail and hair salon or the barber. We have an avid football fan, and also a huge car fanatic who loves going to car shows. One of them loves crafts and knitting. Other activities they enjoy are listening to music, Disney movies, party nights and concerts.
