Veterans Day Weekend for NYC Kids: Queens Museum Reopens, Free Kids' Films, Great Family Theater, Fall Nature Fun
Submitted by Stephanie Ogozalek on
This post is from 2013. For 2014 activities, check out our Event Calendar. Most NYC kids are looking at a three-day holiday so be sure to get out there and enjoy all the great things going on this Veterans Day weekend. Catch cool new kids' shows like The Very Hungry Caterpillar or Ballerina Swan. See FREE family films at MoMA or KidsCinema Fest in Washington Heights. Commune with nature at the New York Botanical Garden's Fall Forest Weekend or the Queens County Farm Museum's Wildlife Weekend. Or celebrate the reopening of the renovated Queens Museum with a hands-on family art party.
Veterans Day Weekend is also a great opportunity to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. Consider having your kids donate some of their Halloween candy to charities that send care packages to soldiers, or cheer on the marchers at the annual Veterans Day Parade.

On Saturday, November 16, the talented photographers from Big Apple Portraits will snap playful pics of your kids with (or without) Santa.
