Spring is in full swing, and there’s no better time to get outside and enjoy the sunshine than May!

From playing in the park to going on nature hikes, May is the perfect month to embrace all that organized outdoor fun has to offer. So put down those screens and get ready for some outdoor adventures that are sure to keep your little ones entertained and engaged all month long.

The 5 Drive-In

We all love going to the movies, but the drive-in is a whole different ball game. You and your little ones can travel back in time when you tune into 5 Drive-In’s radio channel with old-school commercials, classic hits, and the lovely fuzziness of radio static that you probably haven’t heard in far too long. Find the perfect parking spot and snacks and enjoy the latest movies, or enjoy treats from the 5 Drive-In snack bar. They’ve got your concession favourites like popcorn, pretzels, slushies, and cotton candy. As a bonus, stay later for a throwback movie or a double feature!
