Winter is a great time to be outside. Don't let the cold stop you from spending time outside with the family. We've compiled a list of fun outdoor activities you can do together. So-- bundle up, head outside, get some fresh air and have fun!
This list is by no means exhaustive, and meant to be a starting point for your outdoor fun. If you have a location you'd like to add to the list, please email me at emilyb@macaronikid.com, and I can add it. Please remember to socially distance, wear a mask and follow Covid-19 guidelines to make your experience a safe one. And, before heading out, remember to verify hours with the venue, as hours may have changed.
