Every weekend Macaroni KID Sioux Falls shares our picks for five low-cost things to do with your kids locally over the coming week. 


1. Spray Parks 

Have you been to one of these yet this summer? It’s definitely on my fun-do list with mine and the good news is that although the pools will be closing soon, the spray parks typically stay open a few more weeks so you can extend summer! Just show up! Pioneer Spray Park - link above lists hours as well as deets on when various pools will be closing around town Hayward Spray Park


2. Mobile Recreation Unit

Many things are winding down for the summer but the mobile recreation unit still has a few stops! Take a break from athletic and school prep to. Have some fun as a family at one of these stops. Just show up! On Wednesday this week it will be at Baaker Park in the morning from 9-11AM and at Prairie Trail from 6-8PM 


3. Summer Art Moms Open

Our Holiday Boutique has been so popular, we've decided to open it up for 9 months in 2023. Come support 50 local makers and small businesses in our fun and happy gift store. Affordable prices and unique pieces including antiques, baked goods, upcycled items, jewelry, stationary, pop culture items, live houseplants, candles, farmhouse decor and so much more. Just stop by! This week open 10-5 Thursday - Saturday and Sunday 12-4


4. fit Make and Take It

Both caregivers and children experience stressful moments, but how we handle those moments is what matters. Caregivers and kids will learn techniques to help de-stress and make their own super-squishy stress ball! Registration requested so that enough supplies can be provided. Sanford CHILD Services, Thursday August 17th 5-6PM 


5. Riverfest 

Party on the Big Sioux River at Downtown Riverfest with live music, a variety of activities, food vendors, display vendors, cold beverages, and more! Just wander in! (Parking can be tricky) Kory and the Fireflies will be there from 9:30-11 PM Fawick Park, Saturday August 19th 4-11PM
