1. How about biking 20 miles along car-free streets of DC ?  The DC Bike Ride, happening for its 10th year on September 12, offers the opportunity to ride around the city on a route without motor vehicles.  The two-wheel recreation isn’t the only things to enjoy… there’ll be beautiful views of the iconic landmarks, great photo ops, live entertainment, and high-energy activations along the way. Riders of all ages (3+) and cycling levels are welcome! Ages 3-7 years old are free to ride, and kids 8-17 are always half price. Adult registration starts at $95 and various registration add-ons, including bike and helmet rentals, are available. Learn more and register here.

 

2. Opening at CAMP at Tysons Corner this week:  Bluey x CAMP: Bluey’s House. The immersive experience welcomes guests to explore a life-sized version of Bluey’s house, complete with dancing, games, and a special meet-and-greet finale with Bluey and Bingo.  Early access has begun, but the official opening is this Saturday, September 5.  Timed-entry tickets start at $42, and can be purchased here.

 

3. A perfect way to wind down summer this weekend… go swimming!  Jump in at an outdoor public pool in DC, Montgomery County, or Alexandria; splurge on a Resort Pass that lets you enjoy a day at a hotel pool; or rent a swimming pool by the hour through Swimply!
