Fun as a Family – Weekend January 12, 2018
The bad news: it’s still winter and kinda cold.
The good news: each day gets a little longer!
But you can’t be holed up in your house until Spring – so grab the family and head out to find some fun. Enjoy these Fun as a Family ideas.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is Monday – meaning that for many, this is a long weekend. If you’ve got the day off Monday, a weekend getaway may be in order. Here are a couple of ideas:
- Great Wolf Lodge – Pocono Mountains, PA If you’ve never been to this indoor water park then you’re in for a surprise. No matter how cold it is outside, the inside temps are warm! Tons of kids activities, story time and the Forest Friends lobby show are all included with your stay.
- Nemacolin Woodlands Resort – Southwestern PA – Kidz Klub, Kidz Night Out, Arcade, Hardy Girls Gymnasium are some of the fun things to do at this resort.
- Also, check out the Tots2Tweens Get Away for a Day page for more ideas!
