Make your reservation for monthly Kids Club activities
Due to a limited number of space in each class, reservations are required and can be made two weeks prior to each class. Call 615.744.3357 to make your reservation.
Sign-in for the activity begins 30 minutes before the class in the upper-level foyer of the Frist Center.
Please note, even if you are a current Kids Club member, it is important that you make a reservation each time you plan to participate in the Kids Club Saturday activity. This helps us to manage the class sizes. Also, you do not have to be a Kids Club Member to participate in the Saturday activities, but reservations are requested.
Schedule:
Kids Club is offered at three different times (10:30 a.m., 1:00 p.m., or 3:00 p.m.) on the 2nd Saturday of each month.
