City of Lino Lakes – fun activities for every age group
Today I want to share a little more about the Lino Lakes community. Do you know that for the second year in a row they are listed in the “100 Best Places to Live”? Often, great communities have many different ways to enjoy events and activities with other members of the community. It can help with personal fulfillment and create a feeling of belonging. While browsing the Lino Lakes Winter Parks & Recreation guide I noticed that they really do a great job of offering local activities to participate in at any age. I’ve included some of this information here:
Preschool & Youth:
- Sweetheart Party (ages 7 & under) – Friday, February 3rd, 6:30-8:00 p.m. at the CTE Cafeteria & Gym. The cost is $7 per child and this event features dancing, a Valentine craft, removable tattoos and picture taking.
- Princess Party – Friday, March 2nd, 6:30-8:00 p.m. at the BHE Cafeteria & Gym. This cost is $8 per child and includes meeting Belle and Cinderella, refreshments, face painting, a craft project and a fashion show! So be sure to have your little princess dress up in her favorite costume.

Adult/Senior Center:
There are all kinds of adult sports, outings and day trips offered through the Lino Lakes Parks & Recreation. Some of the sports include: volleyball, Zumba, kick-boxing and slow-pitch softball. A couple of the outings are Treasure Island Casino and even a trip to Washington DC to see the Cherry Blossoms. Choose from some of these day trips – watch Hairspray at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater, visit the 1968 – The Year the Rocked the World exhibit at the MN History Center, and see Coco’s Diary at the History Theater.
