It’s that time of the year again: February vacation week. Maybe you haven’t planned your week with the kids at home yet, and are beginning to dread the thought of the next week holed-up at home with kids suffering from “Cabin Fever”. The secret is to get them out of the house and sharing some family fun activities with you. Trust me, everyone will be happier. We all need something to do besides shoveling snow or watching the ice dams on the roof build up.Minimize boredom and stress with these family-fun activities for kids in the Attleboro area.
Beat cabin fever by taking a winter trek to Roger Williams Zoo, and enjoy half-priced admission in January and February. Bundle up and see the snow leopards, moon bears and other cold-hardy animals in a wintry setting. Enjoy seeing Bubba and Action, our two harbor seals, in their improved exhibit. Or, soak in the heat at the Zoo’s Tropical America, Elephant & Giraffe, and Australasia buildings. http://www.rwpzoo.org/
