10 Things To Do with KIDS This Weekend

The days may all be a blur, but we can still get excited for the weekend. After a long week at home, spend time outside and take in some fresh air. And if you need some inspiration for things to do with your kids, here are 10 things you CAN do this weekend.
We love FREE! Celebrate Halloween and S.T.E.A.M at the Michgian Science Center’s Spooky Science Celebration on Saturday. Admission is FREE but you must pre-register online.
While you’re in the city, take a trip to Belle Isle for the brand new Fairy Door Search + Find adventure!
If you want a more rustic adventure, head to Fox Science Preserve in Ann Arbor. The Washtenaw County park is a former gravel pit and current rock climbing oasis.
Start your weekend off right with Downpup Yoga! The new Yoga at Home Kits are SO cute and the order deadline for November is Sunday – we’re giving one away too!
We’re holding on to the final weeks of fall and this week’s #MomLife feature Kelsey has us thinking about caramel apples at Big Red Orchard.
USA Hockey is back! It’s been a while since we’ve seen live sports and we always have a good time at USA Hockey Arena.
Are you ready for some retro-fun? Five Little Monkeys now rents arcade games! Order a pizza, call your friends and get ready to party like it’s 1999 with Pac-Man, Ninja Turtles, NBA Jam and more. Enter to win 3 games and a popcorn machine rental from LittleGuide Detroit!
Halloween is a week away but there are plenty of places to stock up on candy now. Check out our list of Halloween events happening this weekend and pick your favorite.
If you’re not sold on trick or treating this year but want to surprise your kids with some sweet treats, here’s a list of the best bakeries and shops to visit for Halloween candy, cakes and milkshakes.
Visit the spookiest street in Michigan, walk amongst flying pumpkins, or get scared by a scarecrows at one of the best Halloween attractions in metro Detroit.
