Parents' Afternoon Out

Eastside Family Y
12/13/25 - 12/13/25
VIEW

What might you do with four child-free hour less than  two weeks before Christmas? Finish up some shopping, start some baking, wrap some gifts, or maybe just take a bubble bath? Well, now’s your chance to make it happen!

Kid Zone and Child Care staff are planning a fun afternoon with movies, crafts, board games, and activities for kids ages 3 – 10. We’ll also have pizza, Christmas Cookies, cocoa, and a visitor from the North Pole! Kids will make up official wish lists (we’ll be on hand to help the little ones) to give to Kris Kringle, who is scheduled to make an appearance sometime during the afternoon. We’ll return the wish lists to parents in Top Secret envelopes as a keepsake, along with small polaroid Santa pics.
