Spring break is coming to a close this weekend for public school kids, but there are still a few seasonal activities to enjoy in the city before it's back to class on Monday!

This weekend, outdoor fun includes the Queens County Farm Museum's Children's Carnival, Wave Hill's bird-themed Spring Wings and Little League Opening Day.

Although NYC's fabulous parks and playgrounds beckon, there are some indoor events worth considering, like a musical adaptation of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day at the Queens Theatre or a screening of the beloved movie A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.

These are just a few of the great things going on this weekend. All of our best bets are below. You can find additional options in our Event Calendar and our Spring Fun Guide.

As part of its 60th anniversary season, the Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts is presenting four interactive and affordable theater shows for young children and their families. The Storybook Series, sponsored by Target, includes adaptations of childhood literary classics like The Adventures of Harold and the Purple Crayon, which kicked off the series last weekend, and The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley.

My kids (who are huge fans of Crockett Johnson's popular Harold books) and I were there for the debut!

We Boston parents are lucky to have our pick of restaurants that offer built-in entertainment for the kids. Sometimes, grabbing brunch at a place like Full Moon Restaurant in Cambridge is the best choice for the whole family. The kids can play with the train table and toy kitchen, and the adults can catch up on some grown-up conversation.

Other times, however, I want my kids to focus on their food or to expand their horizons with something different and surprisingly delicious. What better way to tempt them than with an outing that leaves the bag of crayons, stickers, and notebooks untouched? The restaurants below offer culinary experiences that hold kids' attention with food that comes at them fast and with flair.

Springtime temperatures are on the rise, and so are outdoor festivals and fun. Family-friendly fests are popping up throughout the state. Celebrate creatures from the past and present at Camden Children’s Garden's Dino Day & Bug Bonanza Festival or have a ball at TD Bank Ballpark's Somerset Patriots Fan Fest. If you have a child who loves tea parties, you've got three to choose from this weekend: Liberty Hall’s Fancy Farm Girl Tea Party, a Teddy Bear Tea or Alice in Wonderland’s Post-Performance Tea Party.

Passover continues this week, and many of us are still out of school. The Discovery Science Center's Bubblefest is ongoing, and a trip to The Cube in Orange County or the new one in Los Angeles is definitely a great spring break outing.

For those interested in marking a mid-century birthday, Marina Del Rey turns 50 this year and celebrates this Friday through Sunday.
