Fun and Free Things to Do in Boston with Kids - Free Soccer Class, Wizard of Oz, and More, 2/25-2/26
With temperatures reaching the high 50s this week, it has felt at times more like spring break than February school vacation. But no matter what the weather brings, winter break wraps up this weekend, and with it, a full slate of activities for kids and families in Boston. Many of the special events we highlighted in our February vacation roundup continue through the weekend, like A Model of a Good Time at the USS Constitution Museum, Charlestown, Family Program: Mexican Flag Day at the Peabody Museum, Cambridge, and Everybody Loves Pirates at the Puppet Showplace Theatre, Brookline. And read on for more events taking place this weekend, from Family Day at the Mass College of Art and Design to shows like the A.R.T.'s Wild Swans and Wheelock Family Theatre's Wizard of Oz.
If having kids at home this week has started you thinking that you really want to lock in your summer plans now, we’ve added a new summer camp post to our series about local camp options. We also have some ideas of where to go with crafty kids for arts and crafts workshops and classes in Cambridge, Brookline and Somerville.
Enjoy!
