Although we have had an amazingly mild winter and the days have been beautiful with sunshine, it is still hard to let the kiddos out on colder days.
So just in case you have some stir crazy kiddos, I have put together a Winter BLAH day idea list:
Evansville has so many things to do to get out of the house that are either free or relatively inexpensive. Here are few that you can take the kiddos to:
Mesker Park Zoo has the wonderful Amazonia exhibit! I can spend hours in there watching all the animals. You can check that out here: http://www.meskerparkzoo.com/
They have events throughout the month that are extremely interactive with the little ones.
Evansville African American Museum Located closer to downtown, this exhibit is has artifacts from the original buildings from 1930's and also showcases local artists, traveling exhibits and giftshop.
For the smaller kiddos, they usually have great craft days on the weekends. Check their schedule for events: https://evansvilleaamuseum.wordpress.com/
Evansville Museum of Arts, History and Sciences Located downtown on the river, the museum has undergone many renovations. The latest is the Koch Immersive Theater. You can't help but be amazed at the many exhibits. You can check out the schedule here: http://www.emuseum.org/
And of course, if you haven't been there - you MUST go.....
Children's Museum of Evansville Located downtown Evansville near the Ford Center, this place is loaded with fun. Make sure you bring your sneakers because you are going to want to get involved with the interactive goodies with the kiddos! You can check out all the fun things right here: http://www.cmoekids.org/ The kiddos will even enjoy the website!
Now, if you are looking for ideas for exercise, Evansville has a lot of fun things to do!
The YMCA of Southwest Indiana has two locations! One is downtown and the other is on the east side off of Burkhardt. Both have plenty of things to do to keep kiddos and momma/daddy happy!
Love to Ice Skate? Swonder Ice Arena is a beautiful indoor arena that has given most of the large competitive ice arenas in the midwest a run for their money! You can check out their hours and prices here: http://www.skateswonder.com/
Being that I am far from the crafty moms out there, I will still send you here for some great indoor craft ideas. Or, how about here
Here is another great website that has a lot of indoor craft ideas.
The time with family is so short. Enjoy it. Embrace it. Make memories.
Got any more ideas? Email me. I'll be happy to post them!
