5 Fun Things to Do in NH Over February Vacation

With this being February vacation, here are five quick ideas for fun things to do with your kids this week:

1. SEE Science Center: Sure, you've heard of Dean Kamen, the Segway, and the FIRST Robotics competition. But have you ever checked out the science museum Kamen has funded in one of Manchester's old mill buildings? It's only a short drive from Concord, and the various science experiments and play stations are sure to keep your kids entertained for hours.

2. The Children's Museum of NH: It's a bit of a longer drive – about an hour – but it's well worth the trip, and what better time to check it out than over February vacation? Your kids will love the giant yellow submarine, the toddler play area, and the osprey's nest exhibit.

3. Splash Week: The Concord Family YMCA is offering for kids during February vacation week, including swim lessons, youth water games and more.

4. The McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center: It's right here in the city, and the discovery center has an amazing collection of interactive exhibits to explore. The planetarium also has a series of entertaining shows scheduled for this week.

5. Concord Public Library: Check out the library's children's services calendar to find some fun things to do this week. On Wednesday, Feb. 29, the library has family storytime at 10:15 a.m., and crafts at 2 p.m.
