Have you ever wished for somewhere where you could work out, swim, play tennis, make art, and get some great food all in one place? You’re in luck — we’re here to tell you about The Kroc Center. We recently took a tour of the facility and experienced a little bit of everything The Kroc Center has to offer. Now, we want to tell you how you can #TryThis.

Experience:

A day at The Kroc Center

What we tried (with pricing):

We toured the whole facility and saw the conference center, the chapel, the fitness studio, the aquatics arena, the boys + girls club, the Kroc kids childcare area, the outdoor splash pad, the playground, and the sports gym. Whew. We also toured the tennis center, which has both clay + hard tennis courts and a Tennis House shop.

You can do all this (and more) with membership or a day pass (free-$10).

What not to miss:

The Kroc Pot Fuel lunch. They were kind enough to send me home with one, and — spoiler alert — it was pretty darn good. The Kroc Center offers these meals weekly, and members get a discount on them. Kroc Pot schedule + FAQs here.

What we’re still talking about:

We got to sit in on art camp and we even got to make a print with the kids. We think it’s safe to say we crushed art camp. 😎
