Endless summer

Check out our kid-friendly family fun guide

Children edge into the chilly pool water May 24 during the opening day of the Outdoor Aquatic Center, 727 Ky. The pool is open from 1 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. daily during the summer.

Scaled-back summer vacation plans may save families some money, but not necessarily any sanity, if the kids are already getting bored and cranky in front of the television.

Here are some Lawrence and area events coming up this summer for when it’s time for everyone to get out of the house. While most events are free, you’ll still find the price is right.

Events are sorted by category, price, age, keywords and date. Once you’ve found the event for you, sign up for reminders via e-mail or text message using your LJWorld.com account.

And if you have an event of your own you think we should include in our calendar, please contact us.
