What has been your experience with Parents Night Out at Public Venues?

Anonymous
Places like myGym and Pump it Up, etc..

Do you do drop off at random “fun places”?

I only do this at places my kids have previously visited thru open gym times. Right now our rotation includes My Gym Silver Stars and Dynamite. I prefer this to a baby sitter if logistics work out.

They are too late for my little kids. I've only done the one at JW tumbles from 5:30-9 or so, but my kids are exhausted and don't want to be playing at 8pm. My little one wants to be asleep.

Also, I don't want to go out to dinner at 5:30, so it feels like a waste of time. It's also usually more expensive than a sitter would be.

We did it once at Once Upon A Dream, which seems pretty low key, with another family so our preschooler has a friend and the adults went out to dinner.

Ive done it twice through KAH but it goes too late so I dont feel like I get my moneys worth out of it because I pick my kid (7) up at 8 instead of 9. Even 8 is late though and she is a mess getting through shower and bedtime.

Thought about doing it at Color me Mine but again it goes until 9. too late for us.
