It should finally feel like November this weekend in Chicago, just in time to honor our military on Veterans Day. Show your respect and teach kids about veterans with a free visit to Pritzker Military Museum and Library, a craft at Cantigny, or a ceremony at Soldier Field. The sub-40 degree weather may keep families inside, which will be ideal for a visit to the Chicago International Children's Film Festival or a showing of one of several theatrical productions for kids such as Seussical in Bensenville, Dooby Dooby Moo in Rogers Park, or Matilda, Jr. in Arlington Heights.
There's lots to do between Halloween and Thanksgiving on our November activities roundup. And there's still time to check items off our fall bucket list, too! If you're already thinking ahead to the holidays, now is a good time to look into a volunteer opportunity or book a holiday train ride.
