recreations
Things for fun
Recreations are activities pursued for enjoyment or relaxation rather than work—hobbies, sports, games, or pastimes: The park offers recreations for all ages.
The word also refers to instances of recreating something, though this sense usually appears hyphenated (re-creations) to distinguish it: The museum featured re-creations of ancient artifacts.
