What are some things for kids to do during spring break in The Woodlands?|172620

I_m a nanny and this spring break I have an 11 yo, 2- 8 yo, and a 2 year old. Whats there to do?

  • With the ages you_ve got, I think the museums, both at the mall are pretty good choices. If you have the option of going into the city, the zoo is an excellent choice, and if the family has a membership you can probably use it (depending on their level, as I recall).

    The libraries might be a good choice. If you can manage the 2 y/o...and the others will actually read...this might be pretty relaxing. With two branches in The Woodlands, you probably have some options. (They don_t update their website very often, so it might be worth calling the branches to see if they have anything special going on for break week.)

    The Barnes and Noble at the mall does a weekly story time for older kids too (8-12, I think) but I believe it is on Sunday afternoon.

    A couple people have mentioned the Aquarium now; personally, I don_t think it_s a great value for the money. But, it is a pretty good time and can use up a good part of a day.

  • Incredible Pizza in Conroe.

    The Children_s Museum in the Woodlands Mall. There is also the play area and carousel in the food court.

    Library.

    Movies.

    If you happen to have a bunch of girls, Bath Junkie on Market Street is a big hit with my daughter! Borders on Market Street also does have storytime but I_m not sure of the schedule on that. But what about a boat ride on the Woodlands Waterway?

  • How about a local pool? Drive into Houston and go to the zoo or the aquarium. See if there is a Yahoo Group for moms in The Woodlands (I know there is one for Kingwood). That would be a good place to go for answers.

  • Movies, due to the rain.
    Check the houston paper.

  • All the parks are open, but it_s rainy this week... You can take them to the mall to go to the Children_s Museum and the Natural History Museum extension.

  • Well we just went to the rodeo. It was great! Tomorrow is Rascal Flatts. He_s pretty cool. A good learning experience for the kids. They_ve got a birthing center too where they have cows that are due to give birth during the rodeo and we saw a few chickens hatch. Theres also the aquarium and the childrens museum.
