Looking for the best things to do in Chicago this weekend? Here are some family-friendly events and activities to add to your list for this weekend.

2021 is finally drawing to a close, and we're looking forward to a better year in 2022! Kids can celebrate New Year's or Noon Year's this weekend with a neon-themed celebration in Wrigleyville, skating and fireworks Rosemont or bubbles in Naperville, among many other options. On New Year's Day, the Chicago Wolves face off against the Rockford IceHogs in the city's only January 1 professional sports game. Or check out The Snow Queen or The Magic Immersive on their last weekend in town.

Families who didn't get out as much as they had hoped in 2021 can check out our list of the best new things that opened and resolve to see them in 2022. Or, as winter weather may finally arrive in January, we have a great list of outdoor skating rinks and another of snow tubing hills that can get families outside. Getting out of town might also look appealing if you're in one of the suburban school districts with winter breaks that extend into the first week of January.

Here are our top picks for events to attend with your kids this weekend!
