Can you believe we're at the last weekend in February already. Spring is next month. NEXT MONTH! But there's still wintery fun to be had, including a couple weeks left to enjoy some outdoor ice skating. Go maple sugaring, enjoy the circus, or make a craft. Or maybe you need some time to catch up on emails or run an errand; in which case, an indoor play space might be just the ticket for your Saturday or Sunday. 

Need more ideas? Head to our events calendar to see what else is in store this weekend.
