Twilight Centers

We know how integral our Twilight Centers are to providing safe, fun spaces for our young people. At our Twilight Centers, Milwaukee Recreation offers programming and extended hours at select school locations so young people in the city have a safe place to go during the evenings for free.

This season, we invite young people to visit our eight Twilight Centers for board games, esports, open gym shootaround, field trips, college and career conversations, and more! Take your best friend or meet new friends at Milwaukee Recreation's Twilight Centers.

Twilight Centers are open to MPS and non-MPS students alike. Free snacks are available every night as well. See below for fall site information.

The Twilight-specific entry door at each location is marked with a large, purple "Twilight Centers" sign.

*middle school or elementary school students only.
