Additionally, families can enjoy various sports and fitness activities such as basketball, dodgeball, and soccer throughout the day, with a particular Family Zumba class at noon.

The day’s festivities continue with fun swims and Stick ‘N Puck sessions, where regular admission fees apply, and pre-registration is recommended due to space limitations.

The Preschool Activity Room will host free drop-in activities for the little ones. In contrast, a sensory-friendly drop-in session will provide a calming environment with quiet music and sensory crafts.
