Voorhees, NJ — Children in Southern New Jersey will have a unique opportunity to celebrate the New Year while exploring their love for animals at the Animal Welfare Association’s upcoming Kid’s Night Out on Friday, January 2, 2026, from 6:00pm to 9:00pm. This hands-on program is designed to provide children ages 7 to 13 with an engaging and educational experience that combines entertainment, learning, and compassion for animals.
The event begins with a lively pizza party, giving kids a chance to socialize and fuel up before the evening’s activities. Following dinner, participants will enjoy a variety of interactive experiences, including games, crafts, and animal-focused activities that teach essential lessons in empathy, responsibility, and the basics of animal care. Each activity is carefully curated to create a memorable experience while reinforcing positive attitudes toward animals.
“Kid’s Night Out is about more than just fun—it’s an opportunity for children to develop a deeper connection with animals and learn how to care for them in a supportive, interactive environment,” said AWA representatives. “By combining play, creativity, and education, we aim to inspire a lifelong love of animals while fostering important social and emotional skills.”
The evening is designed to accommodate families with multiple children. Tickets are $30 for the first child and $25 for each additional sibling, making it an accessible and family-friendly option for a memorable New Year’s celebration. With hands-on learning experiences that feel more like play than instruction, kids leave the event having gained knowledge and confidence, all while creating lasting memories.
