School is finally out for summer. Amateur parents, time to step up to the pros! Make this summer count by having fun adventures in Santa Clarita with your kids.

Here are my top 5 picks for family fun in Santa Clarita this weekend:

2-5 Year Old Dance Party

You know who really excels at dancing like nobody is watching? Toddlers! So learn from them at the best at the Dance Party at the Valencia Library.

This Saturday, June 13^th from 10:30 to 11:15 bring those 2-5 year olds to dance all that crazy kid energy off in a free party. Anyone who is ANYONE (under the age of 5) in Santa Clarita will be there dancing too.

Who knows, maybe you will join in! Go ahead, nobody’s watching.

Day at the Ranch Hart Museum Ranch House

Are you one of those Sci-fi junkies who dream of creating a time machine out of Plexiglas and spare vacuum cleaner parts? Well, I can’t help you with that but I can tell you where to go back in time, the Day at the Ranch at the Hart Museum Ranch House.

Saturday. June 13^th, between 11 am and 2 pm bring your K-5^th graders to travel back in time and explore 500 years of history with tasks like making paint in the same method as the Tataviam, making soap like the Spanish, and even making a mini-movie.

It’s free and actually going to happen. Can’t say that for time travel…

Hurricane Harbor Dive In Movie

Let’s face it, seeing a movie at home is great. But seeing a movie while floating in a wave pool is SO much better!

This Friday June 12^th, and every Friday through August 28 head to Hurricane Harbor for a floating movie experience. This week is Alexander and the Terrible, Rotten, Bad Day. Get your tickets online for a discount and speedy entry.

Guaranteed not to be terrible, rotten, or bad.

Curling Lessons at Valenica Ice Ice Station

Do your kids need to learn the art of curling? No, not their hair, the sport!

Saturday, June 13^th from 7:15-9:15 pm take your kids ages 10 years old and up to a curling class at the Ice Station Valencia. Get ready to learn what hoglines, hacks, buttons and houses are while having a great time getting into a new sport.

Call 775-8686 for info and registration.

FYI you don’t have to curl your hair to do curling. Just thought you should know.

Savvy Science Class

So isn’t the big trick of summer vacation to find something fun for your kids to do that also might even keep their brains from rotting into mushy potato?

Head over to the Canyon Country Community Center for the Savvy Science class! It’s Saturday, June 13 from noon to 1pm and the simple science investigations and hands on experiments are a perfect mix of fun and learning for your 5-12 year old. It’s only $5 and you can register on their website or in person at the center.

Go, and save the mushy potato for your next picnic.
