Howzit Everybody!
School’s out, and suddenly every keiki has the free time of a retiree with the energy of a double espresso. Lucky for you (and your sanity), this weekend is stacked with kid-friendly fun—glitter tattoos, ukulele classes, free movies, and even a Dumbo-sized Dive’n’Movie at Wet’n’Wild. Whether you're trying to entertain the little ones or just trying to sneak a moment of peace while they balloon-chase a stilt walker, we've got events that’ll keep the whole family moving (and hopefully, napping later).
