Community

Parent's Night Out is a supervised drop-off program at The Nest in Chapel Hill where children can play in the museum exhibits and eat dinner while their parents enjoy an evening to themselves. This event is designed for children ages 3 to 9 who are fully potty-trained. The cost is $35 per child, though museum members receive a 20 percent discount. If you need a bit of extra time to make your dinner reservation, you can add an early drop-off option at 5:30 PM for an additional $5. Dinner from Alfredo's Pizza Villa is included in the registration fee, and you must sign up online in advance to secure a spot. This is an excellent weekend option because it gives you a rare three-hour window to try a new restaurant on Franklin Street while your kids are safe, fed, and active in a space designed just for them.
