Community

Parent's Night Out is a supervised drop-off event at The Nest in Chapel Hill where children can play in the exhibits and eat dinner while their parents take a break. Kids spend the evening exploring the interactive spaces, socializing, and eating pizza from local favorite Alfredo's Pizza Villa. This program is designed for potty-independent children ages 3 to 9. Admission is $35 per child, though members receive a 20% discount. If you need a bit of extra time, you can add an early drop-off option at 5:30 PM for an additional $5. Because space is limited for safety ratios, you must register online in advance. This is an excellent Friday night option because it gives parents a rare window to enjoy a quiet dinner on Franklin Street while the kids are fully entertained in a secure, familiar environment.
