Kids Planner: Storytime, Bubbles and More

Your weekly guide to some kid-friendly events and activities.

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 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 driving distance.

Have your own suggestions and tips — just add them to the comment box or e-mail them to jeffrey.pickette@patch.com.
