How to Prepare

Plan out your Cruise in Advance! 

Pick up a copy of the ‘hood Magazine and mark the location that you want to go to on the cruise. Or, check out our full directory listing online and see our cruise map. Make sure to think about what stops your family would enjoy the most. This year, we have many locations that are either cluster stops or are combined with a pop-up! These stops mean one less trip in and out of the car! 

Remember, you plan your cruise! There is no certain order you have to go in! Simply cruise to wherever your family would like and enjoy as much time there as you want to. 

Bring Snacks/Pack a Lunch

The Cruise runs from 9 am to 2 pm! Often, we have heard families say they were not planning to cruise for so long but ended up going the full-time because of how much fun everyone was having! So, make sure you have some snacks or a picnic packed! This year, we also have Rainy Day Coffee Co. located at Lake Lorraine and Simply Put Coffee located at the Boy Scouts for your caffeinated needs! 

Plan to Pick-Up your Swag Bag

Our Swag Bag pick-up location this year is the Outdoor Campus! This year’s swag bag is filled with great coupons, fun items, information, and more! Swing by the Outdoor campus for both your Swag Bag and some free fishing! Swag Bags are for the first 500 families.
