Grab & Go Kids Planner: Former Eagles Player, Sports Clinic and Lots of Valentine Fun!
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.
We’ve done the research and found the best things to do and places to go both locally and within reasonable striking distance. You're busy enough, and we're happy to do the work.
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!
