While Donutology is technically a restaurant, it’s also a great breakfast activity. When you come in, you choose a flavor of donut, an icing, a topping, and a drizzle. Your kids will love creating their own unique concoction – maybe strawberry icing with cotton candy pop rocks? At the same time, you can grab a coffee – a little caffeine will keep your energy up for the rest of the day!

Sponsored by Hallmark, Kaleidoscope lets kids use Hallmark’s scrap supplies to express their creativity. Sessions are one hour long and afterwards, the children get to take home their creation to remember the importance of expressing themselves.
Gorman Conservation Discovery Center

The conservation center is a great opportunity to learn about local flora and fauna while getting to see it in action. Events vary seasonally but there are always live animal exhibits, trails to explore, and a well-equipped playground in case the kids need to run off some energy. Afterwards, stop by the gift shop and pick up a book so your child can keep learning!
