Friday is finally here!! Time to start planning a fun weekend with the kiddies. Some mom's are fortunate enough to have their kids on weekends, me? My son goes to his dad's Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon. :( So what do Mom's do with their children on weekends to keep them calm and happy? I used to take my son to little places around town, inexpensive, educational, but still fun. Here is a list of a few fun places to take your kids where they'll have a great time, and appreciate getting out of the house:
1. The Indoor - Outdoor Museum of Science and Nature
222 Harrington Way, Worcester, Ma. 01604
508-929-2700
-This is a fun and educational place where your child can learn new things and have a hands on experience of what is in their everyday life and how it came to be. The museum is easy to find and a lot cheaper than the Boston Aquarium, but still teaches your child interesting and fun lessons.
2. The Butterfly Place
120 Tyngsboro Road Westford, MA 01886
978-392-0955
-This is a very fun, beautiful, exciting place to take your child, of any age, to. It's inexpensive, and the building includes a full cafeteria and ice cream section where you can take a break from the butterfly room and enjoy a family meal. The hands-on experience is one of a kind. A huge enclosed area, where butterflies fly freely and land where they want. The scenery of wildlife, plants, frogs, small birds, and beautiful butterflies will bring a smile to your child's face.This is probably one of my top recommendations for family fun.
3. Old Sturbridge Village
1 Old Sturbridge Village Road, Sturbridge, Ma.
508-347-3362
-If you don't mind braving the cold for a family fun day, this place is perfect! It's a blast back to the olden days, when butter was churned manually, milk was taken from cows early every morning, and canoes were carved by hand for transportation. This place is full of exciting things to see and learn, and the staff is friendly and inviting. They include your children in their activities and educate them with fun lessons.
These are just a few suggestions of things to do with the kids over a weekend. I hope all you guys have a good weekend and enjoy time with your kids! :)
