Weekend Fun for Boston Kids: Patriots' Day & Spring Break, April 18-20
Submitted by Kip Wilson Rechea on
The most exciting holiday of the year for many local history buffs has arrived! Patriots' Day weekend offers multiple chances to catch battle demonstrations, historic ride reenactments and parades. Other fantastic outdoor activities for families include Junior Ranger Day on Georges Island (pictured) and the Swan Boats Opening Day in Boston's Public Garden. Together with the Cambridge Science Festival and the start of April School Vacation Week, our Event Calendar is chock-full of great activities for families.
Shrek the Musical at Wheelock Family Theatre opens this weekend; look for a review from Michelle next week. For older kids, Anne Frank opens in Boston, and the Ethan Rossiter & the Jamberries concert is a great option for the younger set.
Also on Mommy Poppins Boston this week:
- Celebrate the planet next week with our list of local Earth Day Activities.
- Kids become gardeners by making these Fairy and Gnome Mason Jar Terrariums.
- Use recycled materials to craft these Earth-friendly Wind Chimes.
- Michelle shares some great venues for Birthday Parties for Kids Who Love Animals.
