Things For Kids To Do In Southern Brooklyn: The Terminator On The Beach, DIY Scooters, July 4th Fireworks

The kids have made it through another school year! Start their summer break off right with a visit to the Coney Island Library where they can create magic scratch superhero artwork. Then sign them up for Home Depot’s free kids workshop and watch them play with tools and build a “Minions” scooter. Later this week, head to Kaiser Park for the start of City Parks Foundation’s free track and field workshops, or kick off your shoes at Coney Island’s Flicks on the Beach with a screening of The Terminator.
