Weekday Picks for Connecticut Kids: Animals Ambassadors, Young Scientists, and Harry Potter Hijinks, January 4-8
This is the beginning of my eleventh year as a parent, and every one of those years, I've had the same resolution on my list: have more fun with my kids. Happily, Connecticut is chock-full of fun family activities all winter long. This week, kids can visit with animals, take a cooking class, or enjoy a special drop off adventure just for Harry Potter fans. We are hard at work updating the Event Calendar for the new year so check back often to see the latest free and fun activities all over the state. Be sure to sign up for our newsletters and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest so you won't miss a thing. We look forward to spending time with you in 2016!
