Boston has changed a lot in the last few decades, but one area of the city remains largely the same: the North End. Often called Boston’s Little Italy, its narrow streets are brimming with old world charm, historic sites, and delicious food. Whether you live in Boston or are just visiting, the neighborhood is a must-visit stop with kids.

New York City doesn't lack outdoor spaces for families to enjoy in all five boroughs, but there's always room for more. As Manhattan's far west side springs to life with new developments, we're excited to see brand new parks like Waterline Square Park opening, too.

At 2.6 acres, the green space, situated between 59th Street and 61st Street along 12th Avenue is a bright, artsy addition to the neighborhood, and its boldly designed children's playground does not disappoint.

Read on for our review of Manhattan's newest public park and find more great outdoor destinations in our Guide to NYC Parks and Playgrounds.

Easter is a special time to get dressed up and enjoy family time. With the weather (hopefully) favorable in early April, it's also a great opportunity to dine al fresco at some of Atlanta's restaurants that serve up a festive Easter Sunday meal. 

Families who prefer takeout have plenty of options, too.  Either way, we can still gather around the table to dye Easter eggs or perhaps another holiday craft; enjoy an Easter egg hunt in the backyard, balconies, or living rooms; and dress in our Easter best to share a special brunch or dinner with our families.

With Easter around the corner, it’s time to fill those baskets and schedule your annual Easter Bunny pictures and meet and greets with everyone's favorite springtime celebrity. We’ve gotten ahold of his social calendar and rounded up opportunities for bunny encounters and other Easter fun for families in Westchester and the Hudson Valley.

Whether you want to have breakfast with the Easter Bunny, ice skate, or join him on a train ride, there are plenty of opportunities. We recommend you hop to it, though, as limited capacity and pre-registration is required for many of these fun encounters.

For more Easter fun, check out our Spring Fun Guide, which has some fun at-home activities like these Easter crafts and egg dyeing ideas and 30+ ways to elevate egg hunts at home. We've also rounded up our top things to do in March, and our Event Calendar gets constant updates, too.

Spring break comes but once a year. Although it seems the annual respite has gotten shorter since my time in school, the days off are still a welcome period to relax and enjoy family time. Where should you turn if you want to enjoy a weekend away? Day events are always an option, but how about squeezing in a little vacation time?

Mommy Poppins Philadelphia has compiled a list of places close enough for an easy spring break getaway. For more ideas, be sure and check out our event calendar for fun activities throughout the Philly area and Travel Guide for far-off destinations.

Are you ready to get out of town and see some new scenery? Covid cases are falling (yay!) but it’s probably still not the right time to book a flight to a favorite exotic resort or massive hotel. But a road trip to a vacation home rental somewhere in gorgeous, sunny California is just the ticket: meticulously cleaned before you arrive, no crowded spaces, and the chance to be someplace new, different, and fresh.

Since we’re not traveling to packed tourist destinations, we wanted to find the best places to visit where the actual vacation rental was part of the attraction—so here are treehouses, a-frames, cabooses, and space ships (seriously) that are on the beach, in the mountains, in the city, or on alpaca farms. Read on to discover where in California your next family vacation will be.
