The best events for families with school-age kids in southern Westchester, delivered twice a week.
Every Monday and Thursday, we scan the local calendars, filter out the noise, and send you a short list of things actually worth doing with your kids this week.
Outdoors, arts, sports, science, culture, and the occasional thing so specific it shouldn't exist but does.
Covering Scarsdale, Bronxville, Larchmont, Rye, Harrison, Edgemont, and nearby.
Here's what an issue looks like
Outdoors
Wildlife Detective Walk
April 12 · Greenburgh Nature Center, Scarsdale · Ages 8-14
Kids track animal prints and owl pellets through the preserve with a naturalist who actually makes scat analysis sound cool. Dress for mud. Free but register ahead, spots cap at 15.
Culture
Theremin Concerts Under the Dome
April 10 · Hudson River Museum, Yonkers · Ages 10+
Live theremin performance inside the planetarium, which is exactly as strange and good as it sounds. The 7pm show skews older and runs 45 minutes. Grab tickets online before they sell out.
Science & Making
Pine Needle Soda Lab
April 13 · Muscoot Farm, Somers · All ages
Forage pine needles on the farm, then ferment them into an actual carbonated drink you take home. The kind of hands-on science that makes kids forget they're learning. Walk in, no registration needed.
