Weekend Fun for NYC Kids: Ice Carving at the Bronx Zoo, Last-Chance Holiday Fun, Kwanzaa, Seal Watching December 27-28
Submitted by Stephanie Ogozalek on
Since this is a short holiday week, we decided to run our weekend picks post a few days early. That way you can plan out your family's Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and the weekend beyond long before Santa hops on his sleigh.
Seasonal fun abounds this weekend. Enjoy frosty fun at the Bronx Zoo's Wildlife Ice Carving Week, try hands-on projects at the New York Hall of Science's ReMake the Holidays and celebrate Kwanzaa at the American Museum of Natural History's annual festival. It's also a great time to see all of NYC's iconic holiday sights before they're gone, like animatronic department store windows, over-the-top Christmas houses and massive decorated trees.
These are just a few of the great things going on this weekend. All of our best bets are below. You can find additional options in our Event Calendar and our Holiday Fun Guide, including a list of 35 things to do with kids over the school break. From all the moms at Mommy Poppins, we wish you and your family a fabulous holiday season, whatever you celebrate.
