Huntsville Weekend Roundup January 31 – February 2
Congratulations!
It’s a new month in the Rocket City, and February is ACTION PACKED, folks! I’m always surprised such a short month manages to be so busy. All of this freezing weather has the kids bouncing of the walls, but this Indoor Play Guide to Huntsville helps out a lot. It’s Learning Expo weekend for us, and we couldn’t be more excited about this Saturday – but more on that below…
As always, we list our favorite free/cheap weekend activities for kids in Huntsville here in the WERU. Of course, you can always find even more things to do inside our full Event Calendar, so if you don’t see something below go check that out!
