The Jewish Community Center will hold its 29th annual Tour de Fun on Sunday, Aug. 25 at the Staenberg Family Complex, 2 Millstone Campus Drive. Planned by an all-dad committee, the event offers a day of fun for children ages 10 and under and their families.

From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., children can enjoy a wide variety of activities. This year, there will be rides and inflatables, a climbing wall, a variety of vehicles to explore, a Dunk-a-Dad booth, a fitness obstacle course, booths with activities, pony rides, a petting zoo and a kosher lunch available for purchase from Kohn’s Kosher Meat and Deli, as well as cold treats from Frosty Treats. 

Entertainment performances, held throughout the event, feature Jeff Lefton with Abra-kid-Abra, Serengetti Steve and Babaloo and appearances by “Juggling Jeff” and Mad Science.

Early registration is recommended but not required. Tour de Fun is $12 per child if registered by Aug. 23 and $18 thereafter. Adults are free. To register or for more information, visit tourdefun.com or contact Emilie Brockman at 314-442-3267 or [email protected].
