Grab & Go Kids Planner: Puppet Shows and Movies

Glad you clicked on our Grab & Go Kids Planner!

We've assembled a bi-weekly calendar of kid-friendly activities and new places to try with children.

Families today are time-pressed, so Patch is happy to do the research and find the best things to do and places to go, both locally and within reasonable driving distance.
