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 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 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.
Click here to view the upcoming Twilight enrichment calendar and closures. This link will be continually updated throughout the season with new information.
The Twilight Center at North Division HS is currently CLOSED due to construction.
Mark your calendars and lace up those skates! Milwaukee Recreation's free Family Skate Nights return to Andrew Douglas MS and Bay View HS Twilight Centers this season.
Andrew Douglas MS and Bay View HS Twilight Centers are open to ages 10-14 (ages under 10 must be accompanied by an adult for Family Skate Night). Skate rentals are available for free. The smallest skate size available is a youth size 13.
Milwaukee Recreation provides free enrichment activities for young people at Twilight Centers throughout each season! All enrichment programming is free and no registration is required. All Twilight participants are invited to attend. Participants who complete four Twilight enrichment activities in a season will qualify for a Twilight Centers field trip!
Twilight staff members are available during standard business hours.
If you have a question about Twilight after standard business hours, please use this site-specific contact list to reach your desired Twilight Center.
