LAST of SUMMER POOL EXCURSIONS What:?It seems each year this week comes along way too soon ? the last week of outdoor pool season, and I panic that my kids and I have not had the water fun I expected or likely promised at the beginning of summer. Even though it?s hot way into September, it is sad but true that most public outdoor pools end their season around Labor Day weekend. If you haven?t had enough fun in the sun poolside, be sure the check the hours of your favorite community pool and watch the forecast for a nice warm day to splash around with your kids. Find my near-complete list of outdoor pools in Dane County on MadisonWithKids.com (the list specifically includes pools & aquatic centers that have a toddler pool area or zero-depth entrance.) Don?t forget the sunscreen. When:?Hours vary per pool. Where:?Madison, Sun Prairie, Mount Horeb, Middleton, Monona? Cost:?Admission varies $3 ? $8. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . FAMILY MOVIE at ROCKY ROCOCO What:?Rocky Rococo?s of Madison shows family-friendly movies at their two Party Pizzeria locations with large party rooms and a big screen.
