Families will have the opportunity to get active as they interact with nature, play games, and participate in arts and crafts activities within Centennial Park, and receive free morning entry to the Parthenon.

“The Kidsville Family Walk serves as an opportunity for children and their families to get outdoors in the winter,” said Justin Branam, Centennial Park Conservancy’s Vice President of Programming. “We’re excited to celebrate Valentine’s Day while getting everyone moving in Centennial Park, with a healthy dose of nature, active play, games, art, and fun for the whole family.”

Highlights of the Kidsville Family Walk include:

  • Storybook Walk: Read the children’s book “Your Are a Raccoon!” at multiple stations as you walk along the banks of Lake Watauga.
  • Games: Winter Olympics-inspired games like ice cube hockey, sled pulling, and tabletop curling
