You're Invited to Winter Fest and Summer Camp Fairs with Mommy Poppins

Submitted by Anna Fader on

<i>Lots of indoor fun planned for Winter Fest and Camptopia!</i>

Have you ever wondered what summer camp at the zoo is like? Or how to find a camp your perfectly quirky kid will love? Sure, you could create a spreadsheet of every camp in a 50 mile radius, but wouldn't it be more fun to just go and play with them? That's the idea behind our summer camp events. And the first one is this Sunday. Spoiler: They're going to be really fun even if you don't think you're looking for a camp.

Looking for the best things to do in Dallas and Fort Worth this weekend? Here are our picks for the coolest family-friendly events and activities to add to your list for this weekend.

After last weekend and the rest of this week, there's no doubt in my mind that your kids are probably bouncing off the walls. With the weekend weather looking very chilly, I know it's going to take something big to get you and your crew out of the house, and that's why I've picked only the very best indoor events happening in the metroplex this weekend.

The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra is performing The Lion King alongside the animated classic, the River Legacy Nature Center is hosting one of their popular Creature Features, the Frisco Maker Faire has been reschulded for this Saturday, and Bluey Day is coming to the CUTX Center when the Allen Americans (I know it's a hockey game, but still) play the Rapid City Rush. 

Plus, if father figures and daughters need a night out, father/daughter dances are happening in both Keller and Plano! 

If you're planning on sticking close to home (I don't blame you), we've got plenty of ideas to keep cabin fever at bay, such as these boredom busters, the best board games for kids, and movies every kid should watch. 

Don't forget to check websites to confirm an event is still happening before bundling up the kids for the day. Stay warm, North Texas!
