Settle in for Cinema
Pull up a lawn chair or lay down a blanket and settle in for an evening surrounded by the excitement of bubbling kids and your favorite Disney characters during the Valley’s free Outdoor Movies in the Park. Held among the greenery of Mirabeau Point Park, this event offers the perfect excuse to escape the house for a night under the stars.
Complimentary crafts and activities designed to ignite their creativity and imagination will entertain little ones before the movie magic begins at 7 pm as the sun dips below the horizon. Mark your calendars for evenings bound to bring smiles to the whole family. This summer’s lineup is Disney’s Elemental on Friday, July 19, and Disney’s Ratatouille on Friday, August 9.
Make a Splash
Valley pools open on Saturday, June 15, and will make a splash in your summer plans without draining your budget! With a nominal open swim, lap swim, and aqua fitness fee of $1 per person (children 5 and under are free with a paying adult), there’s no reason to stay dry this summer. For even more savings, the weekend family discount gives free admission to one child 12 years and under with a paying adult. Whether it’s the water slide at Park Road Pool, the lazy river at Terrace View, or the zero-depth entry pool at Valley Mission, there’s an attraction for everyone in the family.
Closing dates for each pool vary, so here’s a link to the updated aquatics schedule to help you plan your summer swims. For those with passionate swimmers in the family, opportunities for swim lessons and swim team await—registration opens April 22. Don’t forget about the iconic Paws in the Pool event at Valley Mission Pool on August 25, because the dogs deserve a day out, too!
