I love the idea of exposing my kids (and yours!) to theater, but I’m often put off by the price tag. I was happy to read that the Hawaii Theatre Center is offering educational programming this season with four productions that will bring the excitement of live theatre to young audiences and their families.

[ September 11, 2010; 10:00 am; ] The Keiki Ho‘olaule‘a features arts and crafts, demonstrations, hula and of course, live musical entertainment by Hawaii’s keiki.

[ August 27, 2010; 7:00 pm; August 28, 2010; 4:00 pm; ] A magic and live entertainment show (and free balloon animals).

[ August 28, 2010; August 29, 2010; ] Dolmas and more!

[ August 25, 2010; 10:00 am; August 26, 2010; 10:00 am; ] This week: “Jonah: A Veggie Tales Movie” and “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.”

Kids eat free every Tuesday at both Auntie Pasto locations (Beretania & Kunia).

When one adult pays for a meal, choose one free meal from the five item keiki menu.

[ August 27, 2010; 8:00 pm; August 28, 2010; 8:00 pm; ] The Outrigger Reef is hosting two poolside movies.

There’s still time left to buy one, get one free at Wet-n-Wild!

If you’re planning a Hawaii staycation this summer with a short jaunt to Maui, take note of this deal.

[ August 10, 2010; 4:00 pm; ] This new program is designed to help families be more adventurous with food, while making healthier choices by introducing their
 palates to new foods and flavors. 


Get one free kids’ meal at IHOP with the purchase of each adult entree.

Sometimes, the only solution to a tough day is to get wet!

[ August 3, 2009; 10:00 am; August 4, 2009; 10:00 am; August 10, 2010; 10:00 am; August 11, 2010; 10:00 am; August 17, 2010; 10:00 am; August 18, 2010; 10:00 am; August 24, 2010; 10:00 am; August 25, 2010; 10:00 am; ] Here’s your last chance to take in some free movies this summer at the Regal Theatres Free Family Film Festival.
