Spanning nearly 150 miles with stunning views, natural landmarks to explore, deep history, and adorable small towns, a trip to the Shenandoah Valley is well worth the drive. The only question is, where to start? Growing up in the Shenandoah Valley, I'm amazed at how much of this beautiful scenery remains unchanged for decades. Farms span innumerable acres. You can still catch a cart and buggy, and have your pick of some of the best local produce at pop-up farmers markets in unexpected places. But the Valley isn't locked in time. It is thriving with new small businesses, a growing winery and brewery scene, and an intentional effort on the part of Virginia's small towns to create more amenities and attractions. 

To help you navigate this expansive region just west of Washington, DC, and bordering West Virginia, we've put together a list of the 40 best things to see and do with your family, including exploring Shenandoah National Park and the famed Skyline Drive.

Winter 2019 is shaping up to be an epic season to be a kid in NYC: Aside from all the usual seasonal must-dos around town, there's the world's biggest Lego exhibit in Queens, a toy-testing lab in Flatiron, a brand-new indoor water park and theme park twenty minutes across the Hudson, a holiday lantern show in every borough, and museums dedicated to slime and ice cream. Oh, and there are bumper cars on ice in Brooklyn. Yep: Bumper cars on ice. Is this a great town or what?

You might recognize the colorful ice rink bumper cars from their sold-out run in Bryant Park last winter. This season, they're taking over the indoor rink at Aviator Sports Center at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn. Read on for the details on this season's slippery slide-y fun.
