Why Go:  Because what Dad wouldn't cherish some fun time running around with the little buggers in a gym filled with padding, balls, cushions and balance beams?  (And Mom deserves a quiet evening with a good book and a glass of wine)

Pricing: $22.50 - $28.50. Buy tickets at the box office or at ticketmaster.com.


Where/When: Saturday, Feb. 19 at 1:00 p.m., Cranberry Lake Preserve.  

Why Go:  Storytellers at Cranberry Lake Preserve will spin tales and share picture books  in the Nature Lodge.  The kids, itching for some fresh air, can spend some outdoor time exploring and looking for harbingers of spring.

Pricing: Free.

• Never Say Never
Where/When:  Clearview Cinemas in Yonkers, Mamaroneck Playhouse, various times.

Why Go:  If you don’t already have Bieber-fever, you’ll leave this movie a Be-lieber (sorry, I couldn’t help that. I have an 8-year old daughter). Really, there aren’t many positive and inspirational examples for kids out there anymore, and even doubters will leave uplifted. (And it's in 3D).

Pricing:  $8.25 - $11

•Underground Railroad Storywalk:  Henry's Freedom Box
Where/When: Sunday, February 20 at 1 p.m.,  White Plains Public Library.

Why Go:  Kids will satisfy their need to discover and explore by uncovering clues along the storywalk as they learn the moving story of one man's journey from slavery to freedom.
