Storytime, Open Mic's and a Petting Zoo

Glad you clicked on our Grab & Go Kids Planner!

We've assembled a weekly calendar of kid-friendly activities and new places to try out with children. Each week, we'll give you the info on the five best family activities or events for the week.

You're time-pressed enough, so we're happy to do the research and find the best things to do and places to go, both locally and within reasonable striking distance.

If you have any suggestions for other things to do that aren't on the list, just add them to the comment box. Even if you disagree with our picks, let us know. We want to hear from you!

From storytime to open-mic nights to line-dancing, we've got you covered for family fun all weekend long.
