Weekday Picks for LI Kids During President's Week: Frozen Fest, Maple Sugaring, Shrek & More, February 16-20
The kids are off from school this week, so parents across Long Island are looking for ways to keep the little ones occupied before cabin fever kicks in. Luckily, there is no shortage of fun happening in both Nassau and Suffolk County. We recommend calling ahead of time to find out if you need to reserve your spot in advance as many of these places are sure to be super crowded.
Of course, this list is just our top picks--be sure to check out our Long Island Events Calendar regularly as it is always being updated. And to receive this post right into your inbox, sign up for our newsletter, which is now going out twice a week (Mondays and Thursdays).
