Three highly anticipated exhibits open this weekend: the art and nature-filled Frida Kahlo: Art, Garden, Life at the New York Botanical Garden, the Children's Museum of the Arts' fantastical Far, Far, Away... and the cool, interactive public art installation Please Touch the Art in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Plus if you haven't seen the new Whitney Museum of American Art yet, you can check it out during its Opening Family Day on Saturday.
Two annual outdoor favorites also take place this weekend: Manhattan's FREE Dance Parade New York and Aviator Sport's old-fashioned Kings County Fair.
These are just a few of the great things going on this weekend. All of our best bets are below. Remember, there are even more options in our Event Calendar and our Spring Fun Guide.
