August is National Family Fun Month, where families are encouraged to take time out of their hectic schedules to spend time together. It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you have fun together! Being a family club we strive to provide many opportunities for families to be active and have fun. Here are a few suggestions on how your family can celebrate Family Fun Month.
Family Bike Ride
Grab your bikes and go for a ride together! Enjoy the scenic bike trails of Milwaukee while doubling as your exercise for the day. Don’t have bikes? There are plenty of local cycle shops that offer rentals.
Go to the Zoo
The Milwaukee County Zoo is one of the best family destinations, because who doesn’t love looking at animals, riding the safari train, or enjoying some tasty food? There’s so much to discover at the zoo, and each trip back will be a unique experience with plenty of fun for all ages.
Cook Together
Cooking as a family is a great bonding experience. You’ll feel more connected when everyone contributes to the meal in some way. Not only is it fun, it can be a great way to influence your kids to eat healthier.
Come to the Club!
We probably sound like a broken record at this point, but our Monthly Family Calendar is FILLED with tons of events and programs you can do as a family. It’s really difficult to summarize the program schedule because it changes monthly, but here are just a few examples of recurring activities. Be sure to check out the complete Family Calendar to plan your next outing!
Family Carnivals
Our Family Carnivals, or Family Fun Nights as they are sometimes called, are our flagship family social events. These seasonal events incorporate numerous activities for the kids, including themed carnival games, our giant inflatable bounce houses/slides, crafting stations, and more. You’ll also be able to enjoy carnival-style foods likes snow cones, cotton candy, and hot dogs.
Family Movie Nights
If you need a change of scenery for your family movie nights, we’ve got you covered. These are typically held by the outdoor pools, great lawn, in the lobby, or the Quad (depending on the host club) with our giant inflatable movie screen. We usually have games if the kids need additional activities, and refreshments so you can enjoy your favorite snack while watching the movie.
Family Open Swim
While your family is certainly not limited to swimming together only during these times, we specifically designate open swim times for families that want to hang out and socialize with one another. Half of the pool is reserved for families.
Family Tennis
Whether or not you have any tennis experience in your family, Family Tennis is a fun way to either introduce your kids to the sport and learn together with the instruction of tennis pros, or just simply practice together. We’ll play games that make learning tennis techniques fun.
