Saturday kicks off with Game Day for the whole family and ends with a themed party or game-room activities in Family Night Out, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., $60 per child depending upon activity. Parents can participate or take advantage of the program to score an evening to themselves.

The Coconut Crew Interactive Camp offers supervised activities for ages three to 12. Full day programs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. cost $100; morning and afternoon sessions cost $70. All programs include lunch.

For $15 per hour, the Family Entertainment Center also provides monitored free play for kids ages five through seven.
