It is our hope that you can use our Twin Cities March Family Events & Activities Guide page as a convenient way to find all the special themed activities this month brings. In March, stay cozy with indoor activities in the final weeks of winter weather, get inspired for spring break, and browse camps for your kids while dreaming of summer!  As always, we hope to be inspiration in planning your family time together.

March is maple syrup month in Minnesota, and with an abundance of nature centers around the Twin Cities, we have ample opportunities to learn about and participate in the maple syruping process. We’ll keep adding events as they trickle in – usually by late February. Look for one or more of the following activities: tapping the maple trees, collecting the sap, boiling it into syrup, and the best part — according to my kids, anyway — a sample of the finished product.

We all know the realities of raising kids in the Minnesota extremities: there’s got to be a place to go were we can escape the elements while still allowing those kids a place to burn off that extra energy. Enter our Twin Cities Indoor Playgrounds and Play Areas list. We hope you can use it to find a new space to wear those littles out — and perhaps catch yourself a break. Scroll down to the bottom of these article for a map of all these playgrounds.

Note: We’ve most recently updated on February 11, 2021, but we highly recommend that you call ahead before visiting anywhere during this time.
