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.
The ice rink is open at Blake Farms! Take a spin or two (or three) around the brand new 2,000 square-foot outdoor ice-skating rink at Blake’s and then warm up with cider and donuts!
Find more Christmas fun, Santa, playground and children’s train ride at Three Cedars Farm in Plymouth.
Happy Chanukah! There are outdoor and drive-in Menorah lightings this weekend and a couple socially distant, outdoor gatherings too. Check out our guide to Chanukah Events in Metro Detroit for an event near you.
If you’re looking for a fun way to teach your kids about other religious, take a visit to Troy Historic Village. The Celebration of Light walking tour does a great job introducing Diwali, Islam, Judaism and Christianity to kids. The Village is decorated with holiday lights and the buildings are cute to explore too.
Campus Martius is a favorite of this week’s #MomLife feature Rachel and it’s ours too! The Rink is open for ice skating, the tree looks beautiful, the menorah is lit and there’s LOTS of fun to have in Detroit.
Winter at Valade Park premieres this weekend! We went to the preview and the park is festive + bright for a can’t-miss family adventure during the day or in the evening.
Put on your PJs and get ready for a drive-thru light show! From Wayne County Lightfest in Westland to Bicentennial Park Drive-Thru in Grand Blanc, check out our guide to Drive-Thru Holiday events to find a light show near you.
You may also be surprised to find a musical neighborhood light show in your town. I discovered 2 in Livonia this week and they’re awesome! Here’s are more Holiday Houses You Want To Drive By In Metro Detroit.
Eastsiders can find a free holiday light display at Blossom Heath Pier AND Santa! Jolly St. Nick will be on hand to say hello at Veterans Memorial Park in St. Clair Shores. Afterwards take a trip to the pier for a festive holiday walk by the water.
Looking for the perfect gift for your girlfriend? We have some ideas and an awesome giveaway for both YOU and HER to win!
Need a night off this weekend? Make it a pizza night and enter to win FREE pizza for a year from Hungry Howie’s for you AND a friend from LittleGuide Detroit!
