I kinda like that it shows only one activity at a time. If one doesn't like it, they can always spin for a new one. Makes it better than the typical, google seo farmed lists. Also, let's you focus on one and make a decision.
In regards to the costs, again, what's low cost for one might be different for another. My archery club allows you to show up and try it for a session (or two) before enrolling. Astronomy nights don't cost us anything or much fuel, if at all. Been to plenty of board game nights where there were no entrance cost.
I agree, I like being forced to make a decision on an activity sequentially. Prevents optimization, which is a common way to spin around doing nothing.
