This Week, February Break Fun, Free Indoor Places to Go with NYC Kids, Last-Minute Midwinter Break Travel Deals
The Presidents' Day holiday weekend and midwinter break are the big to-dos across all of our sites. Here in NYC, we rounded up 30 things to do over February break and inexpensive but enriching vacation camps, plus our Winter Fun Guide is packed with lots of other awesome options. If you're looking to get away for a day or two, our regional sites have posts about the best things to do over break in New Jersey, Long Island and Westchester.
Does this never-ending winter have you dreaming of cozier (or at least less snowy) climes? Our Travel site has a list of last-minute midwinter break deals, including three in Florida that are looking pretty tempting right about now. That's assuming you can get a flight out, but perhaps the fantasy is enough to keep you warm.
If you find yourself stuck at home during part of the break, our fun and easy WeeWork projects are great boredom busters. In fact, if you do any of our WeeWork activities, snap a pic, share it on social media and you just may win tickets to Baby Loves Disco. Get all the details on our giveaway page.
Whatever you do over midwinter recess, we hope you have fun, and stay safe and warm! Here's what else we covered on the NYC site this week:
