South Sound Kids Calendar For Sunday

August 10, 2014 by Maegen Blue

Lots of fun things to do with kids around Auburn, Tacoma, Gig Harbor, Olympia, and the rest of the South Sound today!

Summer-it just keeps being awesome! Here is a list of family friendly options today.

Sunday

All Over

The last significantly low tide on a summer weekend for this year is today. There are organized events in the Gig Harbor and Olympia area (scroll down), or head here for a post on low tide exploration to find out how to check the tide tables and find a beach near you!

Need to keep cool? Head here for my list of every sprayground, wading pool, fountain, and water feature in the South Puget Sound! 

We’re supposed to have temperatures in the 90s by Monday. If you need to plan ahead, I have an extensive list of beat the heat strategies for families here. Please do lather on the sunscreen and check on pets and older neighbors.

Check for a Sunday  Farmer’s market!

South King County

Auburn Days  vendors, kids’ activities, entertainment, and more!

Pony rides, face painting, and bounce houses at Emerald Downs   I believe these activities start at 1PM, but I’m not sure, so you may want to call and check.

Open Hours at the Mary Olson Farm in Auburn  free and open for families to explore every Saturday and Sunday  Donations are welcome

Free interactive showing of Frozen at Calvary Lutheran in Federal Way  

Greater Pierce County/Tacoma

Renaissance Fair in Bonney Lake Game of thrones, anyone? I haven’t ever been to this. If you have, and you can tell us how family friendly it is, I’d love for you to leave a comment! There was a brief deal on Amazon Local, but I can’t find anything current

The South Sound Estuarium has reoopened at its new location 11-4 weekends

Don’t forget you can always check this year’s great, big South Sound Summer Guide!  It’s all your favorite things for summer with the kids in one, great place!  

Trying to plan for next week? Head to the, “Summer,” tab in my menu bar for quick info. on summer camps, VBS, free kids’ activities, and much, much more!

I also have a great list of summer camps in the menu bar, a round up of savings on family fun on the deal page, and much, much more!
