School holidays seem to pile up this time of the year. You've just gotten February break sorted out, and it's already time to plan for spring break. Public school kids are off from Thursday, April 9 through Friday, April 17, 2020.

Whether your kid wants to spend their break dabbling in the arts, honing sports skills, is obsessed with all things STEM, or all of the above, New York City seemingly has a camp for every interest. We've rounded up more than two dozen NYC camps across the five boroughs. All are open for spring break and many other school holidays.

Be sure to check out our Summer Camp Guide if you're already deep into planning for summer's much longer school break!

Feeding our babies, toddlers and kids is one of the most important jobs we have as parents. Whether we provide nutrition to our babies from the breast or bottle, it’s important to have a peaceful place to feed our little ones. Nursing in public is no longer taboo, thanks to legislation that backs up moms’ rights and pioneering celebrities and moms alike. While moms should feel comfortable and supported wherever they are, some prefer privacy to nurse or may need to pump in private while at work or out and about. Babies can get distracted too, so it’s helpful to know where moms can go for the perfect spot to feed babies and toddlers without distraction. Mommy Poppins rounded up all the best lactation stations and private and semi-private rooms for moms and babies to feel safe and secure while nursing, pumping and feeding. 

Baby-friendly spaces are always a comfortable option for moms to breastfeed or bottle feed their children because when we’re in the company of other moms who can relate to one another—there’s unity and solidarity. Check out these Long Island Cafes with Kids' Play Spaces, Long Island Attractions Free for Toddlers and Babies Under 2 and Top Mommy-and-Me Baby Classes on Long Island for a ton of great outings and activities for moms and kids.

If you've lived in the urban jungle long enough, it's easy to wonder whether you'd know what to do if you got lost in a forest. Could you find your way to safety if you got swept away by a river's current? What would you pack if you only had a few minutes to evacuate when a disaster strikes? Answers to these questions and more can be learned with a visit to Survival: The Exhibition, a new exhibit at the New York Hall of Science.

Read on for all the details and how to score tickets to the timed-entry exhibit, which not only teaches life lessons but also builds STEM skills and even includes a ropes course and zip line.

Big things are happening at the Children's Museum of Manhattan. The museum we already love for so many reasons has opened two new exhibits in the past six weeks, including the just-introduced Superpowered Metropolis: Early Learning City, which debuted over the weekend.

The exhibit takes over the ground floor space, bringing to life a trio of super-hero inspired pigeons who are ready to lead the institution's youngest visitors on an interactive, city-inspired journey meant to build early learning lessons and set them up for success in school and beyond.

Read on for an introduction to the new feathered friends, Zip, Zap, and Zoom and to learn more about this exhibit that's big fun for little kids and their grownups.

Toys R Us is back in Houston and kids can now live out their dreams playing with just about every toy in the store at the new hands-on concept. After closing all locations in 2018, the new version of the store re-opened inside The Galleria Houston in December 2019. The re-imagined Toys R Us features interactive areas where kids can try out the toys available for purchase. While not every single toy is available for play, the store is broken up into sections for kids to explore different types of toys and play until their heart's content. Visiting the store is the perfect way to entertain your kids indoors and let them blow off some steam during a day of shopping.
