Looking for the best things to do in New York City this weekend? Here are some family-friendly events and activities to add to your list for this weekend.

It's the last weekend in March, and St. Patrick has a last hurrah in Bay Ridge, Cirque Mechanics are back at the New Vic with Zephyr, the circus experience gets a Spanish flourish at BAM's Esencial Vaiven Circo, Lightware Theater updates The Tortoise and the Hare downtown, and Cinderella sweeps into the 90th Street Y.

The true harbinger of spring, though, is the Annual Macy's Flower Show, which is blooming once again on Herald Square starting Sunday. You might pair that with a visit to the NY Botanic Gardens' Orchid Show! Or maybe the true harbinger of spring is baseball? The Mets are taking over NYC on Saturday...

Our Family Activity Calendar is ready for spring, with loads of great activities indoors and out, and our Spring Fun Guide blossoms with top picks for spring day trips or farther flung spring break getaways.
