Happy Thursday! It’s summer. The weekend is nigh. There’s lots of fun to be had for the coming week. Here are Macaroni Kid Franklin's top picks for things to do in the Williamson County with kids the week of June 11-17. Click on the links for all the details!
1. Franklin Hot Air Balloon Classic & Glow
Question: What’s better than hot air balloons floating through the sky? Answer: GLOWING hot air balloons floating through the sky! The Park at Harlinsdale Farm is hosting this wonderful family event. There will be a kids zone, live music, food trucks, crafts, and more! Buy your tickets here before they run out.
Saturday, June 12 @ Harlinsdale Farm
2. Father’s Day Nerf Wars
Maybe glowing lights aren’t your thing. That’s okay. Instead, you should check out Nerf Wars at MPact Sports in Franklin. This week, they are honoring Dad a week early with Father’s Day Nerf Wars. Why not purchase a pizza package too and make it one big party!
Saturday, June 12 @ 6:30pm
3. Gone Fishing: Catch & Release Pond
Here’s another early Father’s Day event—Gone Fishing: Catch & Release Pond offered for free at Bass Pro Shops in Opry Mills. This is a great event for kiddos who have always wanted to learn to fish!
Saturday & Sunday, June 12 & 13 @ Bass Pro Shops in Opry Mills
4. Learn About Birds - Preschool Story Time
Get excited... The Williamson County Main Library Branch is back to regular hours as of this week (yay!), and they are offering a special evening story time all about birds. Pack the family up after dinner and head over for a fun family learning experience your preschoolers will love! Register here.
Monday, June 14 @ Williamson County Main Branch Library
5. Tinkering Thursdays @ a’Museum
Actually, a’Museum offers fun activities all week as well as open play hours. Tinkering Thursdays—for future engineers—is just one of their many offerings. You can also have your kids try Bubble Fun on Mondays & Saturdays or Science Fun on Tuesdays. You’ve got all summer. Why not try them all?
Tinkering Thursdays are from 2pm-3pm at a’Museum in Columbia and free to members. Regular admission price for non-members.
