Long Island Weekend Events: The Circus, Scavenger Hunts, and More Spring Fun
The circus is in town! And spring weather is here! If you and your family want to get out and take in spring we've got some great choices for you, like scavenger hunts and spring walks. For inside fun, the circus is here, but not for long, so have at it. If the big top is too big, there is a circus themed film fest, and a workshop about bridge building that might fit the bill. Whatever you do with your weekend, we hope that it's a good one.
