14. Visit a Nature Center

We especially love going to Nature Centers during the winter months. Particularly because it can be hard to find ways to get out with your kids when the weather is cold. Nature Centers are often free, and they're indoors, making for a great, low-cost adventure outing. You can find a list of our favorites here.

That’s our list for this weekend! We hope you have a safe and fun St. Patricks Day!
