Olive Garden Offering Free Childcare for 'Parents' Night Out' on Feb. 20

If you and your loved one weren’t able to secure a babysitter and sneak out for date night last weekend on Valentine’s Day-- one eatery wants to help you do just that. Best part? This sitter is free.

Olive Garden is partnering up with nearly 150 My Gym locations across the nation to over a free night of childcare this Friday, Feb. 20.

As part of its second annual ‘Parents’ Night Out,’ restaurant representatives say they want to help parents enjoy “quality time over an affordable and delicious meal... while their kids are entertained with games and activities in a safe environment.”

“We understand how important quality time is for busy parents, so we are thrilled to help them enjoy a worry-free evening together,” said Jose Duenas, executive vice president of marketing for Olive Garden. “Through our partnership with My Gym, we are able to provide the entire family with an evening out.”

Here’s how it works:

1. Call your nearest My Gym to reserve your spot, and place a deposit. There are a half dozen locations here in the Bay Area.
2. On Feb. 20, drop your kiddos off.
3. Enjoy your date night at Olive Garden.
4. When picking up your kids, show your Olive Garden receipt and your deposit will be refunded.

Parents are urged to sign up sooner, rather than later, for this deal, as space at each My Gym is limited to approximately 30 kids.
