Hilldale Hijinks

media release: Let the wiggles (and the giggles) begin! Join us on The Green for a series of fun-filled mornings made just for the littles. Each week brings a new theme, new activity, and plenty of ways for kids ages 3–7 to move, play, and make a little summer magic.

Pre-registration is required and costs $5 per child, per event— proceeds go to the Boys & Girls Club of Dane County. Space is limited.

Feeling extra generous? Bring a school supply from the list below to donate, and your kiddo will score an exclusive Hilldale bucket hat—perfectly sized for stylish little heads. (While supplies last)

Tuesday, July 8: Cookies & Creativity with Sur La Table

Tiny aprons, big imagination! Join Sur La Table on The Green for Cookies & Creativity, a hands-on workshop made just for little bakers. Kids will decorate their own cookie with colorful icing and sprinkles, then design a custom chef hat to take home—because every great baker needs a great look.

It’s the perfect recipe for smiles, sugar, and a sprinkle of creative fun. All materials provided—just bring your mini chef and get ready to create!

Calling all caped crusaders, tiny titans, and pint-sized protectors! Join us at Hilldale for a super-charged morning of hero fun. Kids will get to hang out with a few real-deal superheroes, hear their origin stories straight from the source (spoiler alert: lots of kindness and courage), snap some iconic selfies, and craft their very own super mask to take home.

 Tuesday, August 5: Mini Maestros with the Badger Band

Strike up the band—mini edition! Join members of the iconic UW Badger Band on The Green for a musical morning made for kids. Little ones will get an up-close intro to real band instruments, learn what makes them sound so cool, and enjoy a live mini concert just for them.
