leisure time is spent in outdoor activities

Leisure time in the 1890s-1900s was often spent engaging in activities such as reading, attending live theater performances, participating in social clubs, playing musical instruments, and outdoor sports like tennis and croquet. Popular forms of entertainment included vaudeville shows, traveling circuses, and amusement parks. Technology like phonographs and early motion pictures also began to influence how people spent their leisure time during this period.
