We love exploring the best summer activities for kids...here's one you can't miss! Arthur Ashe Kids’ Day happens on Saturday, August 29 this year, and as usual, it’s filled with amazing free events for families as well as a star-studded lineup of performers and athletes. Littles will be in the presence of Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and more—check out our photos from last year's event to get an idea of what you're in for.
For free, no-ticket-required events at the USTA Billie Jean King National Memorial Tennis Center grounds (9:30am-12:30pm), highlights include:
Hess Toy Truck Obstacle Course (Court 11) Energetic kiddos can test their agility, balance, tennis and running stills to conquer this challenging obstacle series.
Esurance Champions of the Court (Court 7) Seeing double? Get your kids (of all ages) in on doubles play. Which team will win?
PTR 10 and Under Tennis (Court 15) PTR professionals will show your brood how to improve their beginning serve, scoring and rally skills for better game play.
**In addition to plenty of other tennis event stations, there will also be balloon artists, storytelling, hair beading and braiding, juggling and face painting.
Ticketholders ($10-$50…buy ‘em soon!) will enjoy access to all free activities and workshops plus a 2.5–hour concert in Arthur Ashe Stadium (10:00am–12:30pm) featuring Def Jam and Radio Disney artists like Alessia Cara, Carson Lueders and boy band Forever In Your Mind. Happy adventuring!
