Museums are the best places to go either to beat the heat or to escape the cold. Most Children's Museums have spaces curated for different age groups, so there’s something accessible for all ages. Unlike adult museums, most of the exhibits are geared towards interactive learning and most have a robust calendar of special programming — all geared towards kids!
Reading is key to develop a lifelong love of learning Attendingstory times can help instill a love of reading at an early age. Reading to children in their early years helps encourage cognitive development, improves their language and communication abilities, fosters imagination and is just fun! Most bookstores have reading times for kids posted in schedules found on their website. Most of the time, you don’t need to register ahead of time, so it’s a great place to look if you’re searching for a last-minute activity.
Spring, Summer and Fall are all perfect for outdoor street fairs. These festivals are a great way to enjoy quality time with your family. From exploring local cuisine to meeting new businesses in the neighborhood, fairs are a great way to see everything without having to go too far! Plus, a lot of the activities will be geared towards kids, so it’s great for the entire family.
Live music and performances can be a great activity for your family. If your kids are ready for the experience, some of the most enduring family memories center around enjoying music together! Make sure to research the artist and the venue to make sure that it’ll be age-appropriate to bring them along. If you’re going to a formal concert — such as classical music or theater — use it as a teaching moment to talk to your kids about appropriate behavior. If they’re already taking performance classes — like music, dance, or theater — it’s a great way to showcase what they learn in class to the real world!
Your kid doesn’t need to enroll in an entire semester of dance or music classes to join in on the fun! A lot of kid’s activity studios offer classes for you to just try out once. If you and the kids are looking for something new, we’ve got you covered. Everything from Baby DJ classes to haute-cuisine level culinary classes, there are always fun new activities to book and explore.
