Waukee Parks and Recreation has three fun day trips planned for seniors to get together to explore and have some fun!
Church Basement Ladies @ Circa 21 - April 10
Hop on the bus for a delightful lunch and show at Circa 21 Dinner Playhouse in Rock Island, IL. Enjoy a plated meal followed by the musical comedy, Church Basement Ladies. In this funny, heartwarming show based on recipes, we’ll meet the pastor and three cooks who help run the kitchen and care for the congregation. They’ll stave off potential disasters, have fun, share and debate recipes, instruct the young and keep the pastor on due course. The registration fee includes lunch, show, bus transportation and all gratuities. Cancelations will not be accepted after March 22.
- April 10 ($125) from the Waukee Community Center. Register by March 26.
The National WWI Museum and Memorial Day Trip - May 15 or July 10
The Liberty Memorial Association (LMA) was created shortly after World War I to create a lasting monument to the men and women who had served in the war. In 1919, The LMA and citizens of Kansas City raised more than $2.5 million in just 10 days. This is equivalent to more than $40 million today. Join us as we visit America’s official WWI Museum and Memorial, home to the most comprehensive collection of WWI objects in the world. The Liberty Memorial Tower has a 217-foot-high, open-air observation deck where you can view Kansas City from up high. You have the option to climb the tower or just enjoy the rest of the museum. To reach the top of the Tower, guests ride an elevator and climb 45 steps. The registration fee includes transportation via charter bus, a tour of the museum and lunch.
You have two dates to choose from:
- May 15 ($109) leaving from the Urbandale Senior Center. Register by April 12.
- July 10 ($114) leaving from Waukee Community Center. Register by June 7.
