Samena Swim & Tennis Club, Bellevue

This athletic facility, popular for its swimming lessons, hosts Kids Night Out almost every month. Kids can indulge in pizza and a movie after swimming with their friends, all while you tackle your to-do list. 

The facility also plans occasional field trips for kids that give parents even more time to run errands. The next one is well-timed for the holiday season: During the Winter Wonderland Kids Day Away in December, kids will be whisked off to the ice rink before returning to Samena for pizza and a movie. Drop the kids off and then get that holiday shopping done!

Ages: 5–12 (5-year-olds must be in kindergarten)

Price: Kids Night Out is $55 per member and $65 for nonmembers. Kids Day Away is $95 per member and $105 per nonmember.

Time: The next Kids Day Away is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 13, 2025, 2:30 p.m.–8:30 p.m. Kids Night Out events happen almost every month, usually on a Saturday from 5–8:30 p.m. Check the calendar for future events.
