If you've been searching for a family-friendly event leading up to Thanksgiving, look no further. The Rec Center Banquet Room at 3700 Monterey Drive is hosting a Turkey Bingo event on November 26 from 11 a.m. to noon. Aimed at kiddos from ages 6 to 12, the event promises a "gobbling good time," with the chance to snag some awesome prizes.
There's no need for previous bingo experience, so newbies and veterans alike can jump into the fun. The cost for residents is a modest $8, while non-residents will be dropping $11. Just make sure to register by the November 16 deadline if you want to secure a spot for your little turkey. Interested families can register online, according to the St. Louis Park announcement.
But wait, there's more – right after the bingo, the west rink of the same Rec Center invites everyone to lace up for Turkeys on Ice. From noon until 1:30 p.m., you can enjoy free holiday ice skating on November 26. It's an all-ages kind of deal, and whether you're a seasoned pro or your ankles bend like fresh Thanksgiving noodles – there's no cost to participate, and even the skate rentals are on the house. No reservations are required, making it the perfect spontaneous slice of pre-feast fun.
So before you stuff yourself with turkey and debate politics with Uncle Bob, why not glide across the ice or shout "Bingo!" like you mean it? With activities that cater to different interests and a price tag that's honestly hard to argue with – free skating, everyone? – It seems like the Rec Center might just be the place to kick off the holidays.
