Grab & Go Kids Planner: Mini-Golf, Science Workshop, Theaters
Greendale Patch has five things for you and your kids to do this weekend.
The snow is slowly melting away and it's not below zero temps anymore. Time to get the kids out of the house.
We've assembled a weekly calendar of kid-friendly activities and new places to try out with children. Each week, we'll give you the info on the five best family activities or events for the week. You're time-pressed enough, so we're happy to do the research and find the best things to do and places to go, both locally and within reasonable striking distance.
Look for the kids’ planner each Wednesday, and help us build the planner with your own suggestions and tips — just add them to the comment box. Even if you disagree with our picks, let us know. We want to hear from you!
