Weekend Fun for Boston Kids: May 31-June 1
People looking for a break from Boston's urban life can take advantage of the Spring Sheep Festival at Yarmouth Port or Dairy Day at Drumlin Farm. History comes to life this weekend on Georges Island with Civil War Dress Up and Lawn Games, while Larry Spotted Crow Mann uses story, dance, and drums to illuminate the history of the Nipmuc people. If you prefer the fantastic to the historical, head on over to Cirque du Soleil's Amaluna, a story of femininity, goddesses, and coming of age. Families with children on the Autism spectrum can take advantage of a special Spectrum Express at the Wenham Museum and a sensory friendly screening of Maleficent at the AMC in Braintree. For all the best Boston has to offer this month, check out the June GO List for our picks.
