At this point in the winter, we’re trudging along, dreaming of mild spring days and even a flower or two (heck, most of us would settle for not having to shovel snow). Luckily, New Jersey is full of family fun this weekend, with activities to help you beat the end of winter blues. Get a dose of culture and celebrate the Chinese New Year at Garden State Discovery Museum, take your little Superman to check out the awesome Superhero Filmmaking program at Montclair Art Museum or sit down to a dainty meal during Matilda’s Tea Party at the Frelinghuysen Arboretum. For some outdoor winter fun, check out the Nature Kids Discovery Day at Schiff Natural Lands or learn about maple sugaring at Tenafly Nature Center. For even more weekend fun, check out the full list of weekend activities in our Event Calendar.
 

After spending some time snowed in, it’s safe to say both kids and parents alike are ready to get out of the house! Bundle up the troops and take part in some of the great events NJ has to offer this weekend as we bid farewell to January and welcome the month of February. Think we’ll have 6 more weeks of winter? Check out the Watershed Reserve’s Groundhog Day Celebration or head to the Groundhog Prediction Party at the Museum of Early Trades and Crafts. For more outdoor adventure spend a Winter’s Day on the Farm at Fosterfields or grab your snow boots for a guided family walk at Tenafly Nature Center. And for some indoor fun, the whole gang will enjoy a fun-loving performance of Sister Act at the Mayo Performing Arts Center or take your little truck-lovers to the Monster Jam Truck Show at the IZOD Center.

January can feel like a little bit of a let down after the busy holiday season as we get back to school, work and busy schedules. But instead of sitting indoors on a chilly weekend, check out some of the winter fun Jersey has to offer! For a dose of outdoor adventure, throw on your coats and sign up for an awesome maple sugaring demo at Great Swamp or take an evening walk to search for nocturnal creatures at Tenafly Nature Center’s Owl Prowl. If you’ve got little ones that need some weekend entertainment, drop in for story time at the New Jersey State Museum or get tickets for opening weekend of Dinosaurs of the Deep at Adventure Aquarium. And if you’re looking for some engaging and creative ways to celebrate Martin Luther King Day, sign the kids up for an MLK painting craft at Imagine That Children’s Museum or take in the performance MLK Celebration: Embodying the Dream at NJPAC.
