As your children get older, playdates and ballet lessons fill up their afternoons, and before you know it, your time with them has dwindled to a brief Q&A of their school day while they wolf down a snack and head off to soccer practice. However, there is no substitute for spending quality time with your kids. Whether they're 7 or 17, taking classes together is a great way to build closer relationships in a new setting.

Here are 10 activities your entire family will enjoy. Check out your local businesses, health clubs and community centers for a wide range of opportunities.
