We hope you're good at making decisions because Saturday and Sunday are jam-packed with incredible options, including seven of our top picks of the month. It really seems unfair that the Queens County Farm Museum's County Fair, the Brooklyn Book Festival, NY Hall of Sci's World Maker Faire and the Museum of the Moving Image's film-themed New York On Location all take place this weekend... and that's not all. The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts' Sesame Street exhibit and the New York Botanical Garden's Haunted Pumpkin Garden installation debut this weekend as well (but at least they're around for a while in case you want to check them out at a later date).

Are you looking for an exceptional preschool for your child? Then you won't want to miss HRP Mamas Lower Manhattan Early Education Fair on Saturday. Mommy Poppins is proud to be sponsoring this event where you can meet preschool directors from some of Downtown Manhattan's most prestigious programs. It's 100% FREE but advance registration is required.

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 Fall Fun Guide.

If you’ve already been to the GRAMMY Museum, you may think you’ve seen it. The great thing about this museum, though, (aside from a lot of awesome music) is the fact that most of the exhibits are constantly rotating, so it's a new experience each time you visit. Last year the museum celebrated all things Ringo, for example. This year, there are multiple new and temporary displays that are worth checking out, some offering up a little patriotism and others plenty of nostalgia.

As a mom of two young boys, I’m always on the lookout for fun and interesting classes that will not only keep them occupied and entertained, but also help them learn something. And now that my older son is in kindergarten full-time, I need to find something to do with my younger boy, who is really missing his big brother during the day.

There’s certainly no shortage of places on Long Island offering different types of programs and workshops, so it takes something truly unique to catch my interest. Full disclosure here: I also wouldn’t mind if I could find the class fun, too. After all, these programs aren’t cheap, so I don’t want to spend the hour bored out of my mind. Luckily for me, just when I started my search, info about our sponsor bubble came across my desk. When I took a look at its selection of workshops and classes, I knew I had to check it out.

The humidity has dropped, high temps are just reaching the low 70s and the official start of fall is around the corner. Enjoy this sweet spot of the year before it gets too chilly with an outdoor activity: pick some juicy ripe apples during Fall Family Fun Days at Alstede Farms, sample schnitzel and listen to authentic German music at the Crystal Springs Oktoberfest or take the kiddos out to a minor league ballgame at TD Bank Ball Park.  For more fresh air fun, check out the NJ Storytelling Festival at the beautiful Grounds for Sculpture or take a Migration Walk at Stony Brook-Millstone Reserve. And remember, you can check out the full list of weekend activities in our Event Calendar.

Midtown East may not be the first neighborhood that pops into your head when you picture a day out in a lovely park or an indoor play date at a cool romping spot. But once you get past the steel and concrete office buildings, you'll find a handful of great green spaces in the eastern part of the district. More impressively, there's a plethora of indoor destinations where kids can play for FREE like the hands-on high-tech Sony Wonder Technology Lab, the Children's Center at 42nd Street at the New York Public Library and Nintendo World. And if you're willing to shell out a few bucks, there's also the one-of-a-kind play space Heimbold Family Children’s Playing and Learning Center at Scandinavia House.

Here are the top indoor and outdoor drop-in play spots for kids in Midtown East.

Rosh Hashanah is the annual Jewish New Year Celebration. In 2014, it begins at sundown on Wednesday, September 24th and ends at nightfall on Friday, September 26th. In observation of this festive holiday of apples and honey, many public school districts in Fairfield County are closed on Thursday and/or Friday. Whether you plan to spend those days celebrating with your family (at the Congregation for Humanistic Judiasm's family service in Westport, for example) or are instead focusing on apple picking, pumpkin patch visiting, or corn maze exploring, we've rounded up our best suggestions for you.

As we gear up for fall and Halloween, we're bummed to report that two of our favorite seasonal family events aren't happening this year. But not all of our news is bad. We've got the scoop on a pair of veteran NYC businesses that have been saved from extinction, two enhanced green spaces, a fabulous two-for-one Off-Broadway ticket deal, a contest for photo-happy teens, how families can get involved with the People's Climate March and, just when you thought it was safe to finally "Let It Go," prepare yourself for more Frozen!
