Weekend Fun for Boston Kids: Ninjago & Last Free Flicks, August 29-30
It's officially the last weekend before my kids head back to school, and I can't believe we still haven't made it to any of the outdoor flicks that have been going on all summer! At least there's one last chance to remedy that on Saturday by catching either Maleficent or Despicable Me. After this weekend, events start heading indoors. (I know! It's so hard to believe fall is around the corner.) Other opportunities for last-minute fun before homework sets in include something new at LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Boston and something old in the streets of the North End.
Also on Mommy Poppins Boston this week: Summer's end isn't all bad. Once school starts, these places give you access to the stars in Boston.
Enjoy your weekend and don't forget to check out the full Event Calendar!
