Taking A Staycation For Spring Break? Check Out All the Ways to Keep Your Kids Busy!

From March 16 to March 20, 2020, Des Moines Parks and Recreation is hosting a range of family-oriented activities designed to entertain and engage children during spring break. The Imagination Playschool will offer indoor play options, including a bounce house, for children aged seven and under, available Monday through Friday. For those interested in the arts, the Drop-In Art Program invites kids of all ages to explore creative projects tied to St. Patrick's Day, facilitated by award-winning storyteller Maureen Korte. Sports enthusiasts can join mini-clinics focusing on soccer, baseball, and basketball, with age-specific drills and skills competitions.

Each activity has a nominal fee for adult spectators, making it accessible for families. Additionally, a Nature Program will be held on the final day, allowing kids to build and personalize birdhouses, fostering a connection with wildlife. These events not only promote physical activity but also encourage community bonding. More information can be found on the Parks and Recreation website.
