Each year Foxwoods Resort Casino hosts its annual Kids Week during April school break. The casino treats the kids to FREE movies at the Fox Theater, arts & crafts, face painting and more. This year they introduced their first Kids Krawl.
The Kids Krawl is like a pub crawl only its full of fun for short people under 21. For an additional $20 kids get to be “high rollers” and experience what its like to be a VIP. The additional $20 gets EACH child:
- A cool t-shirt *
- Hot dog or slice of pizza with a drink from Regina Pizzeria or Fox Deli
- Cotton candy
- $5 Tree House Arcade gift card
- Preferred seating for Fox Theater movies (Rows GG-NN in the center)
- Special gift from KidStuff or Sugar Rush**
I liked the cool T-shirt 😉
The kids took a special day out of school to experience their first Kids Krawl. The best place to park is at The Great Cedar Tower Parking Garage. The entrance will lead you directly to the food court with Regina Pizzeria which is located between Rain Maker and the Grand Pequot Tower. (map) There are activities set up in both directions from the Cedars Square Food Court.
We headed right over to the Fox Theater Box Office to get our Kids Krawl tickets.
First stop on our Krawl was lunch. Two kids picked a hotdog from the Fox Deli and one a pizza from Regina Pizzeria. A bonus here is that the soft drinks are free refills so keep your cup. After will filled our bellies we headed to get our free goodie from Sugar Rush or KidsStuff. The kids chose a cute little stuffed animal from KidStuff.
On the way to the arts & crafts table there was a table with a native Pequot tribal membe
r who taught the kids to play some native games. We learned that in this same spot is where The Little Fox Dance Troupe performs. The Little Fox Dance Troupe is a group of little kids that hold interactive dance sessions that highlights the Pequot Native American dance. The shows are usually every other Friday and the next performance is April 29th.
Our next Krawl stop was the arts & crafts table. The kids split up between making a paper mache beaded bracelet and some construction paper animals and masks. I like when other people do arts & crafts with my kids because I hate the process from start to finish including the mess.
Then we headed over to the Kids Game Lounge. The Game Lounge, located inside of The Box in the Grand Pequot Tower, was the spot to be. Here the kids can play the most popular games on projection screens as well as classic board games, and be served some delicious discounted kid favorites such as milkshakes, root beer floats and Shirley Temples. This was the “krawlers” cotton candy stop.
And after they made their hands a sticky mess they got their faces sticky with face painting. The face painter, Painted You, was AMAZING! The Skywalk seemed to fancy the kids too… you should’ve seen them. Goofs.
Our Krawl wasn’t over but it was dinner time before we knew it and we made special dinner reservations at the Hard Rock Cafe. The kids love to take their picture in front of the Hard Rock back drop and they love to eat where the rock stars eat. They also love the guitar plates. Its the little things ya know.
We didn’t know that the sing for your supper promotion was going on but you bet my two daughters got up and sing. I apologize to the audience but thanks for the free Legendary Burger kids!
The last stop was the Tree House Arcade. Two floors of video game heaven.
We spent over six hours having fun at the Casino. I think the extra $20 bucks for the Kids Krawl was definitely worth it. Told ya, Casinos are for kids too!
While leaving my son said, “Mom, that was awesome can we go back tomorrow?”
