Fun and Free Things to Do in Boston with Kids - Maple Sugaring, Family Festival and More, March 9-10
Submitted by Audrey Trieschman on
There’s plenty going on this weekend, from free movies at the Museum of Science and maple sugaring tours in Milton and Topsfield to a performance by the Stacey Peasley Band in Arlington. Plus, families can go on a time-travel trip during the Museum of Natural History’s Stories through Time family festival. Read on for more of our picks, and be sure to visit our Events Calendar for a complete list.
We’ve had a busy week on Mommy Poppins Boston, covering a range of topics:
- April Vacation Week - four terrific solutions to the "What are we going to do during school vacation?" problem;
- Our new writer, Kristin Quinn (also of Misadventures in Mommyhood), took her toddler to the Museum of Science Planetarium to see every preschooler's favorite red, furry animal in Big Bird's Adventure: One World, One Sky. Find out whether it's a must-go or just an OK show;
- It’s National Craft Month, and we're accepting the Cre8time Challenge - can you find 8 minutes every day to devote to an art activity? Send us your photos, and we’ll add them to our Pinterest Board; and
- A roundup of Gluten Free Dining With Kids In and Around Boston.
Finally, just a reminder to set your clocks ahead on Sunday (seems about 3 weeks early this year!) Enjoy the weekend.
