Mid-Summer Checklist: 5 Things to Do with Kids in Green Bay Next Month

Parents, we’ve officially made it to the middle of summer break. If the kids are starting to repeat the dreaded phrase "I'm bored," don't panic. July in Green Bay is packed with low-cost, high-fun activities designed to keep them entertained, active, and out of your hair for a few hours.

Here are five mid-summer ideas to add to your family calendar this week:

• 1. Catch a Movie Under the Stars: Head out to Titletown for their free outdoor Movies at Titletown series. Bring blankets, grab a spot on the lawn, and enjoy a family-friendly film on the giant screen under Ariens Hill.
  
  
• 2. Free Animal Encounters: Take a trip to the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary. It’s completely free to enter, and you can buy corn for a few quarters to feed the ducks and geese, walk the beautiful boardwalks, and check out the live wolf and otter programs.
  
  
• 3. Dig into the Imagination Station: On Sunday and Tuesday mornings, Titletown rolls out the giant blue foam blocks at the Shopko Optical Playground. It’s a fantastic, free way for younger kids to build, create, and play with other local children.
  
  
• 4. Wading Pool Mornings: If you have toddlers or younger kids who aren't quite ready for the big aquatic centers, remember that the city's neighborhood wading pools (like Astor and Marquette parks) are open and offer a gentler, more relaxed environment to splash around.
