I told you all I’d be letting you know about more fun happenings at Green Oak Village Place! The outdoor shopping mall has some great family friendly activities coming up I wanted to share.
{If you aren’t familiar, Green Oak Village Place is located south of Flint and about 15 minutes from Ann Arbor off of US-23.}
FREE, FUN ONE-MILE WALK WEDNESDAYS
Each Wednesday, June 4 – August 6 {no event July 2}, Green Oak Village Place will be hosting a fun one-mile walk in partnership with the Michigan Recreation and Park Association and the Southern Livingston County Recreation Authority {SELCRA}. The organizations will be set up at the west end of the mall to register walkers from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. and from 5-8 p.m.
Each registration earns walkers an entry into the Walk Michigan grand prize drawing for a trip for two to the Labor Day Jazzy Walk Weekend at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. This includes the famous Governor’s Walk across the Mackinac Bridge. An additional entry for the trip can be filled out by presenting a receipt for a purchase of $10 or more made before the walk from a store at Green Oak. {Drawing will be held August 8. Winner will be notified on August 11.}
BONUS FUN FOR FAMILIES:
Morning walkers: Visit Barnes & Noble from 11-11:30 a.m. for a fun story time before walking.
Evening walkers: Enjoy $2.99 kids meals and activities at Salsarita’s before walking.
I will be lacing up for the June 4 kick-off right around 11 a.m. Feel free to join me! You won’t miss me — I’ll be the pregnant lady pushing a double stroller. I’m excited because it will give me the opportunity to peek inside all the shops and scope out a lunch spot 😉
SUMMER FAMILY FUN NIGHTS
Throughout the summer, Green Oak Village Place will also be hosting a series of family fun nights — all for FREE! From 7 p.m. – 11 p.m., visit one of the plaza’s many restaurants for family dinner specials, then check out a bounce house, arts and crafts area, and an outdoor movie shown on a giant inflatable screen. The theme for each night is as follows:
June 21: Game night with bubbles, hopscotch, hula hoops basketball, jump rope and more. Movie: Wreck It Ralph.
July 19: Magic show and experiments including an erupting volcano, giant bubbles, Oobleck and more. Movie: Wizard of Oz.
August 9: Touch a Truck, complete with a fire engine, police cars, construction trucks and more. Additionally, there will be a road rally, too. Details coming soon. Movie: Despicable Me 2.
NOTE: A new frozen yogurt shop called Easy Like Sundae will be opening soon. I can’t wait to attend the events and have a taste!
Learn more about the shops by visiting Green Oak Village Place’s website and on Facebook.
