As evening falls upon us, make your way to Shadow Lake Towne Center (7775 Olson Dr) for an enchanting experience under twinkling lights. This bustling shopping center transforms into an open-air market during springtime weekends where you can peruse local artisans' crafts while sipping on refreshing beverages from nearby breweries like Kros Strain Brewing Company or Infusion Brewing Co.
And let's not forget about our little ones! Spring is all about family fun after all. Head over to Fontenelle Park (4400 Fontanelle Blvd) for endless hours of laughter and play. This expansive park features playgrounds, picnic areas, and even a splash pad for those warmer days. Watch as your children's faces light up with joy while they explore the wonders of nature or challenge themselves on the park's climbing structures.
