What could be better during the first week of spring than a peek ahead at summer? Our Event Calendar is overflowing with summer camp open houses, including those for programs at several Pine Village Preschool locations and Steve & Kate's Camp. If the thought of summer still seems inconceivable, the Spring Demo Day at Ready, Set, Kids! includes free classes for kids of all ages.

Passover preparations are also underway this week, with a Passover Prep workshop especially for parents, as well as Let's Get Ready for Passover, which focuses on the kids. Mid-week is also a good time to bring the kids for photos with the Easter Bunny. Finally, if you haven't yet made it to the Museum of Science this month for Free Film Fridays, this is your last chance! Read on for our picks of the week, and don't forget to check out our full Event Calendar!

Spring is finally here and not a moment too soon! This week you can visit with the Easter Bunny, go to a tea party or watch Finding Nemo. We only highlight one activity per day in this post, but you can find plenty of other fun options in our Event Calendar and March GoList. Enjoy!

Activities for Westchester families this week are really STEAM-ing up! STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math, and several of our top picks fall under that acronym, including The Wright Stuff, Mad About Math and Mad Scientists Club. If you're looking for something less academic, there’s Disney Live! Presents Three Classic Fairy Tales, plus a host of other kid-friendly activities in our Event Calendar.

Spring has sprung in NYC! This week's fun includes seasonal favorites like Macy's Flower Show, filled with beautiful blooms and lots of exciting extras. Plus, kick off the Easter season with an after-school egg hunt and try your hand at juggling.

Although we only highlight one event per day in this post, you can find plenty of other options in our Event Calendar and Spring Fun Guide.

The Bridgeport Bluefish home opener is coming up on May 5, and there's a good reason attending one of the baseball team's games made our list of the top 120 things to do with kids in Connecticut. I can think of little else in Fairfield County that offers such great family fun. It is classic and simple Americana—baseball, sunshine, snack food and inflatables.

When you're looking for something cool to do with the kids in NYC, who do you ask? Other local parents of course!

That's why we asked our readers to tell us about their favorite summer day trips in and around New York City. The answers ran the gamut from famous favorites (Coney, Coney, Coney!) to lesser-known destinations (Bannerman Castle on Pollepel Island) to creative city itineraries (a DIY walking tour based on Food Network shows. Yum!).

So in addition to all of our other roundups of summer fun, including 100 free things to do this summer and 40 staycation destinations, we're happy to share the 42 top summer outings for NYC families as chosen by our fellow moms and dads.

Going out to eat with kids can be a daunting task. No one wants to be the family with that child, the one who doesn’t want to sit in a seat, makes loud noises or keeps asking, "When will the food be ready?" (In other words, a normal kid.) We've put together a list of restaurants in the Hartford area that feature fun themes, children's meals and activities sure to occupy your little one so you can relax and enjoy a night out with the family. We've also rounded up some of our favorite family-friendly restaurants in New Haven County here. Bon appétit!
