Mostly Free & Fun Things to Do With NJ Kids This Weekend Jan 17-18: MLK Day, Owl Prowl, Nature Story Time & More!
Submitted by Sasha Muzzarelli on
January can feel like a little bit of a let down after the busy holiday season as we get back to school, work and busy schedules. But instead of sitting indoors on a chilly weekend, check out some of the winter fun Jersey has to offer! For a dose of outdoor adventure, throw on your coats and sign up for an awesome maple sugaring demo at Great Swamp or take an evening walk to search for nocturnal creatures at Tenafly Nature Center’s Owl Prowl. If you’ve got little ones that need some weekend entertainment, drop in for story time at the New Jersey State Museum or get tickets for opening weekend of Dinosaurs of the Deep at Adventure Aquarium. And if you’re looking for some engaging and creative ways to celebrate Martin Luther King Day, sign the kids up for an MLK painting craft at Imagine That Children’s Museum or take in the performance MLK Celebration: Embodying the Dream at NJPAC. For even more weekend fun, check out the full list of weekend activities in our Event Calendar.
