Weekday Picks for Connecticut Kids: Castle Making, Storytime, and Holidaze

11/1/15 - By Mary Beth Lawlor

Election Day is Tuesday, which means no school for many Connecticut kids. Could be a great day for a daytrip. Check out our daytrip guide for lots of suggestions all over the state.

We've rounded up our best bets for November 2-6, including a castle making workshop, a nature hike, and Holidaze.

For more options check out our jam-packed Event Calendar. Have a great week!
