Your kids have been working hard all day; they deserve something extra fun when school is out! But what to do? How about she picks up some improv skills? Or, what about spending a little one-on-one time with Mother Nature? To get you inspired, we rounded up the most awesome after-school classes from coast to coast—flip through the album to see them all.

Join the Circus in San Francisco, Ca

Does your little clown dream of joining the circus? Take her to the Circus Center, where she can learn the basics of the big top. Newbies as young as five can start with the Circus Playground class to learn the basics of tumbling, juggling, and rope-climbing; kids 7 to 15 can sign up for the Acro for Youth class to learn more advanced tumbling, handstands, trampoline, and Chinese pole; and kids most interested in flying will want to go straight for the Aerial Arts class, which teaches kids ages 7 to 15 the basics of trapeze, aerial silk, and hoop
