Three Things to Do With the Kids Today

Though Veterans Day was celebrated yesterday, many people have the day off today in honor of the holiday – including public school children. After you and your family take a moment to honor the service of the veterans in our country today, you may be looking for ways to entertain your kids. Here are some ways to keep the little ones busy:

• Prospect Park: After so many days of closure, the park is indeed open again, as are all of their venues. Stop by the Audobon Center, travel back in time with a visit to the Lefferts Historic House, meet the new cow at the Zoo, or take a spin on the carousel.

• Puppetworks: They are open today and hosting two performances of Hansel & Gretel, at 12:30pm and 2:30pm.

• Justin Bieber: Sensing a bit of Bieber Fever in the air? Tonight is the first show by the teen idol at Barclays, and tickets are still available (though they’re not cheap).
