Today we’re kicking off a new feature on Iowa City Moms Blog called Weekend Wednesday. Every Wednesday we’ll be sharing our Top 5 picks of the events going on in the Iowa City area over the coming weekend! So, if you’re trying to figure out what to do this weekend, we’ve got you covered!
Our picks for Feb 28-Mar 2
FRIDAY
STEM FAMILY FREE NIGHT at the Iowa Children’s Museum. Admission is FREE to all visitors from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM sponsored by Rockwell Collins
SEUSSICAL at The Coralville Center for the Performing Arts (Put on by Regina High School). Our favorite Dr. Seuss characters have been brought to life, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie, and a little kid with a big imagination — Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos. **SHOWTIMES AVAILABLE THURS, FRI, SAT, SUN
SATURDAY
MONEY IN THE BANK, sponsored by Iowa City Moms Blog and MidwestOne Bank (1906 Keokuk St, Iowa City) from 9-11 a.m. This is a great event for kids of all ages (and even adults) to learn more about money: what it looks like, how to save it, and how to spend it wisely! Come for snacks, games, and a certificate for MidWestOne to match the required opening balance of $10 to open a Kids Club Savings Account.
TRY HOCKEY FOR FREE DAY, 3:00 p.m. @ the Coral Ridge Ice Arena. Try Hockey for Free Day provides kids a completely free opportunity to get on the ice and experience youth hockey for themselves. Certified coaches will be on hand to teach your child the basics of hockey with equipment provided.
SATURDAY NIGHT SKATE, 6:oo-9:00 @ the Robert A. Lee Community Recreation Center. Every Saturday night, free skate (which includes free skates AND skating!) is offered in the Robert A Lee Community Recreation Center gymnasium. No matter if you’re young or old, with family or friends, an experienced skater or a beginner, everyone has a blast rolling around – and staff is available if you need assistance.
