Winter Vacation Activities in Fairfield County

Looking for ways to keep busy and sane next week? Here's a quick list of ideas, but I'd love to hear from all of you too! Click on the pink links below for more information and if you have anything to add, just let me know.

Beach Cafe (Fairfield) - Now you can enjoy an adult dinner while the kids watch a movie upstairs on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Yes, the kids are supervised. No, you can't them leave there overnight.
Bruce Museum (Greenwich) - Astronomy Family Day tomorrow and Vacation Workshops Feb 19 - 22 and Robotics Family DaySunday, February 24
Downtown Cabaret Theater (Bridgeport) - I hear the Pinnocchio show is great and it's showing Saturdays and Sundays between now and Feb 24
Indoor Rock Climbing - several locations with the closest being the Easton Community Center or take a short road trip to Prime Climb in Wallingford or The CT Rock Gym in New Haven (I've heard this place is awesome for family activities)
Maritime Aquarium (Norwalk) - So much to do here! Vacation Camp is full but you can still check out IMAX movies, feed the seals every day at 11:45, 1:45 and 3:45 and check out the Frog exhibit
New Canaan Nature Center - Vacation Nature Camp and Syrup Saturday on Feb 23
Rt 22 Restaurant (Stamford)- Magicians on Friday nights and Kid Club Saturdays
Sound Directions Community Drum Circle (Weston) on Monday, Feb 18 at 7:30 pm - play hand drums and percussion at the area's longest running drum circle. No experience necessary. Dancing and movement encouraged! Relieve stress and have fun. Drums provided. $15.00/$10.00 seniors and kids under 12. 7:30 pm at Norfield Grange, 12 Good Hill Road, Weston. For more info: 203.544.7085 or email rbdrumguy@sbcglobal.net

Finally be sure to check your local library. I know they have a ton going on next week for kids and it's too much to list here. Click here for a directory of children's libraries listed alphabetically by town.

There's a rock climbing gym in Stamford - Go Vertical. It's on Canal Street.

Thanks for the post. These are great ideas!

Do you have any suggestions for kids who are in private school and have their vacations the last two weeks of March? I can't find any drop-off programs for March, only February.
