Ready for Spring Break? If you're planning a staycation, Westchester has lots of great events to choose from this weekend. We mentioned a few in our April Go List including the weekend long Sheep-to-Shawl festival and Disney Jr.'s Pirate & Princess Adventure. Of course, we can't forget the many Easter egg hunts happening all over town. 

Also on our monthly Go List is Opening Day at the Science Barge. Families can enjoy live music, crafts, science experiments and more. The Greenburgh Nature Center is hosting its Spring Celebration and Egg Hunt with a day of family fun to celebrate the emergence of spring. Meet the animals, make seasonal crafts, look for signs of spring and hunt for eggs.

We're sorry. We're really, really sorry. We don't mean to keep doing this to you, honest. But here we go again: There are just Too Many Things to Do. Good things. Excellent Things. More Things than One Family can possibly do in One Weekend. And you are going to have to choose.

The LA Times Festival of Books.  The Puppet Festival at the Skirball. One of the Getty Center's priceless Family Festivals. (This one's about Queen Victoria and Photography). There's the opening day of the Butterfly Pavilion. There's the opening day of the Snowy Day exhibit at the Skirball. There's the opening day of the Wyland Gallery at Sweet! (Whales! And chocolate!)

But that is not all; oh, no, that is not all. Easter is hopping into town with bunnies, bunnies, and bunnies. (Peter, Cottontail, and Easter). There are kites in the sky, singing in the rain, and talking drums. There are infinitely many choices, and all of them are must-see.

Enjoy the weekend; as always, there's lots to do!

Kids generally spend their summer camp days participating in an array of structured activities; some camps, however, are switching things up and allowing children to pick and choose the activities where they'd like to place more of their focus. These customizable, "pick-your-own-program" camps give kids a sense of responsibility and accountability, because they have some say in their camp scheduling and can choose a little tennis, a lot of horseback riding, or a whole bunch of theater games. And to find a full range of summer camp options in our fair state, check out our New Jersey Summer Day Camp Guide.

Spring break kicks off this weekend for public school kids and we're looking forward to enjoying the season in the city during our staycation. This weekend, outdoor fun includes the final days of the Queens County Farm Museum's Children's Carnival, Wave Hill's FREE Hello Spring weekend, and opening day for Coney Island's Luna Park, Prospect Park's brand-new roller rink and the Bronx Zoo's Dinosaur Safari. And with Easter coming up next Sunday, there are also a half-dozen egg hunts on tap.

Although NYC's fabulous parks and playgrounds beckon, there are some indoor events worth considering, like the Children's Museum of Manhattan's hands-on Meet the Makers Festival, a musical based on the popular children's book Mr. Chickee's Funny Money and a Passover party at the Museum of Jewish Heritage.

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 Spring Fun Guide.
