Weekend Fun for Westchester Kids: Disney’s Tarzan, Winter Hike, College Basketball, Jan. 2-3
Hear that? It’s the calm that follows the holiday hullabaloo. This weekend, activities for Westchester families quiet down a notch, so there’s a greater emphasis on R&R than on ultra-stimulating fanfare.
A great holiday antidote might be a Winter Hike to Lost Pond—both to get back to nature and to burn off all that feasting! For some high-flying fun, see a performance of Disney's Tarzan or watch the swooshes and alley-oops of Iona College Women's Basketball. Join in a FREE wood-working project at Home Depot Kids' Workshops or bop along with your BFFs at Teen Movie.
Refer to our Event Calendar for our daily listings, and complete an easy new year’s resolution to take more advantage of all the Westchester and the Hudson Valley have to offer by signing up for our FREE weekly newsletters!
Happy New Year from your mom friends at Mommy Poppins!
