If you’re looking for in-person activities for kids, there are a few local options. I know not everyone is interested in attending indoor or non-virtual events right now, and that’s ok. If you do attend an in-person event, please make sure to follow all of the rules set by the state and by the individual business. Thanks and enjoy! 🙂
