Get Out: Five Ideas For Your Weekend
Sip wine at the chef battle, swim at the movies and meet Cinderella this weekend.
This weekend has some great events for both kids and grown-ups. Kids will love exploring a new learning center, meeting Cinderella and floating in a very special movie theater. Grown-ups will love sipping wine, browsing art galleries and the easy-on-the-wallet free and affordable prices of those aforementioned kids' events.
Our goal is to make the Get Out planner as reliable as possible, but keep in mind, some events change at the last minute. We advise calling ahead just in case.
