Today is Kids 1st Day which is a chance to get out there with your little (or big!) ones and do some really fun things together all around the city for little to no cost! There are over 50 locations participating in Kids 1st Day with activities all across the city ranging from discounts on froyo at Kiwi Kraze and family swims at the YMCA to free mini golf at East Park and a treasure hunt through Eldon House. This is a GREAT opportunity to try out something new or different with your kids. Try some dance lessons, aikido, crafts or a new play space for free!
Activities are ongoing throughout the day, but not all activities run all day! Please check the time BEFORE you go to avoid disappointment!
HOW IT WORKS
Have a look at the MAP or list of activities by area in the city: NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST or CENTRAL to plan where you want to go!
At your first location, pick up a Kids 1st Day Passport for each kid and have them get it signed at every stop you make.
Submit your passport after your THIRD stop (make sure it’s signed!) for a chance to win some really cool PRIZES.
When the day is done and you’re crashing at home, go online and fill out the SURVEY for another chance to win.
