THE WEEKEND GUIDE FOR LAKE COUNTRY

AND THE GREATER WAUKESHA COUNTY AREA HAS ARRIVED

FILLED WITH THINGS TO DO THIS WEEKEND WITH KIDS!!

PLEASE THANK OUR WEEKEND GUIDE SPONSOR:

GOLDFISH SWIM SCHOOL IN BROOKFIELD

Join Goldfish Swim School in Brookfield for a very special Sunday afternoon family swim! Through the month of November, they will be celebrating movies and watching a movie during family swim each Sunday.

Their Celebrate Movie series is co-sponsored by 4 special businesses in our community. This week the event is co-sponsored by Sunset Playhouse in Elm Grove.

Sunday afternoon family swim cost is $5 per child, up to $15 for the whole family.

You must make a reservation for each member of the family attending. Tickets will go live at 9 am on day of event.

TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE

Parent or guardian must accompany children in the pool unless child passes a swim test or wears a Coast Guard approved life jacket.

Waivers must be filled out prior to entry. If you are not currently enrolled in lessons, or have not yet filled out a waiver, a waiver can be filled out when you arrive.

Currently enrolled families are eligible to use existing make-ups for payment.

Ready for the chilly weekend? Do you think the snow will stick? We had parent-teacher conferences earlier this week, and the teacher showed us some art and writing by our kindergartner, about Christmas. She said since the snow, all the children have been talking and writing about Christmas. Are you confused about the season and holidays as well?

While Christmas might be a ways off yet, holiday events are coming right at us this weekend, like Hartford’s Holiday parade! If you are not ready for all things red and green yet, no fear, head to Trainfest, Jurassic World, the Christmas Fantasy House in Delafield and more non-holiday fun! Be sure to tag us in your weekend fun, and we’ll be sure to share in our Facebook or IG stories!

Did you know we have a HOLIDAY PAGE dedicated to All.Things.Holiday in Waukesha County and beyond? We do 🙂 Check it out and let us know if we missed any fun!

Lastly, Lake Country Family Fun did our research, like we do, and found all the fun things for you and your family to do this weekend, too.
