Your night. Their EdVenture.
Thursday, November 19 | 5:30–9:30 p.m.
You’ve got plans. We’ve got the kids.
Parents, consider this your sign to take the night off! Drop the kids off at EdVenture for an evening of play, discovery and adventure while you enjoy some well-deserved grown-up time.
Whether you’re planning a date night, dinner with friends, holiday shopping, or simply a night out without the kids, we’ve got the little ones covered!
Heading to Vista Lights? Even better!
Make EdVenture your starting point for the evening. Kids Night Out attendees can park for free in EdVenture’s parking lot, drop off the kids, and hop on the Vista Lights shuttle right from our lot. Enjoy an evening of holiday festivities, local shops and restaurants, festive entertainment, and the annual Vista tree lighting—then take the shuttle back to EdVenture when you’re ready to call it a night.
Or skip Vista Lights altogether and simply enjoy a few kid-free hours to yourself. You play, explore and unwind. We’ll take care of the adventure. Everybody wins!
