Happy weekend, Huntsville families! There is no shortage of fun things to do – the hard part will be choosing between all the awesome free/cheap events below. In fact, this month is so full of things to do in the Tennessee Valley we put together a mini-guide for you planners: February Family Fun.

Be sure to nominate your favorite places to hang out with kids for the annual RCM Family Favorite Awards! It would be a shame if your favorite isn’t nominated… so go take care of that, will ya?
