School’s out, the kids are home, and you’ve got some time off. If you’re a GreatLIFE member, you’re also about to start saving this holiday break.

Check out the newest game in town by heading to Great Shots, where your GreatLIFE membership scores you half off bay rentals. With games for all ages and abilities, you can play and save no matter what the weather thanks to heated bays and an indoor activity room for kids.

Bring out the artist in you – and your kids – with a project at Creative Spirits, where GreatLIFE members receive $5 off their first project. Plus, you’ll receive a free kids project with every $50 adult project.

If it’s Sunday, you need to head to the Washington Pavilion, where GreatLIFE members get half off admission. With tons of new interactive exhibits, every visit is different. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 31, celebrate New Year’s Eve early with Mindful Movements with Sanford Health in the fit Zone exhibit fueled by Sanford Health, plus a balloon drop, art activities and a Radley Rex meet-and-greet.

The Pavilion’s mascot will be making appearances throughout holiday break, and his schedule is available at washingtonpavilion.org/radleyrex.

The Wells Fargo CineDome features “Volcanoes: The Fires of Creation” and “Back From the Brink: Saved From Extinction,” plus the popular holiday movie “The Polar Express” will be showing through Dec. 31. Cocoa and cookies will be available to purchase at the concessions counter.

Come Monday, mark your calendar for the Great Plains Zoo. GreatLIFE members get half off, and you can enjoy more than 25 decorated and themed trees inside the Delbridge Museum of Natural History. Or head outside for up-close encounters with animals that love the cooler weather, including snow monkeys, brown bears and Amur tigers.

On Tuesday, hop your way over to Sky Zone Trampoline Park, which is half off that day for GreatLIFE members. Receive $3 off jump packages Wednesday through Friday. One parent jumps for free with the jump package on those days.

GreatLIFE also offers so many bowling discounts, you practically could visit a different center each day of holiday break! Bring the kids for a hot dog and root beer float lunch at GreatLIFE Suburban Lanes or take a day trip out to Yankton Bowl or Pinz in Dell Rapids. No matter where you go, the bowling is free when when lanes are available.

Holiday break is the perfect time to take in a Sioux Falls Storm or Stampede game. GreatLIFE members receive special pricing at all Skyforce games and tickets for $3 or $5 to the Storm when available.

Looking for something totally different to do? We promise you’ll love Conquer Escape Rooms, a quick trip south of Sioux Falls inside Air Madness in Harrisburg. You’ve never seen escape rooms like these Hollywood-style productions – and you’ll save 25 percent with your GreatLIFE membership.

And, of course, you’ll save tons when you eat out with your GreatLIFE membership. Special offers are available at these restaurants:

• Bagel Boy
• Chevys Fresh Mex
• Firehouse Subs
• Johnny Carino’s
• Pita Pit
• PizzaRev
• Slim Chickens
• Urban Chislic
• The Willows

If you’re convinced you’ve exhausted your options in town, take a quick getaway or book a room locally and use the water thanks to this outstanding GreatLIFE discount at Regency Hotel Management properties.

Self-care to start the year

How about using your GreatLIFE membership to recharge or rejuvenate as the new year approaches?

Get yourself some “me” time at Escape Float Spa, where GreatLIFE members receive $15 percent off floats.

Just in time for the coldest of the cold weather, you can save $10 off a membership at 3 Degrees, where the infrared sauna will allow you to leave the temps outside behind.

And try out the new Amazing Lash Studio at 69th and Western, where you’ll receive $10 off your first lash lift or full set of lashes, plus get a special gift if you sign up for the maintenance program.

And this is really just the start. For a complete list of ways to save at GreatLIFE, click here.
