Grab 'n' Go Kids Planner: Fish and Other Animals

The week's picks for families.

Finding a few family-friendly activities to do this week is now a slightly easier task. Each week, Patch provides you and your family with a great list of festivals around town, interesting outdoor treks and fun, educational classes.

We'd love to hear about your family’s adventures, so if you’re planning something different from what we have listed, just leave it in the comment box! It may help out one of your neighbors who has heard “I'm booooooored” from their 7-year-old a few too many times.
