It's the most magical time of the year! The house is decorated, Christmas is upon us, and then... over a whole week with NO SCHOOL! Don't worry, there are so many things to do in the Bethlehem Area this winter break, this time will fly!
1- Go Ice Skating! (https://www.steelicecenter.com/public-sessions/)
Steel Ice Center in South Bethlehem has public skating times every day over winter break! It may not feel like winter outside when the temperatures are in the high 40's and 50's, but you can pretend it's a brisk winter day while ice skating around for an hour with your kiddos.
2- Get Artistic at Color Me Mine (https://lehighvalley.colormemine.com/calendar/)
Color Me Mine is a great place to let your kids get creative and paint something really special for them to cherish for years to come. They have different pieces to choose from so that you can get as complicated or as simple as you would like. I've taken the children a few times in the past year and it's a relaxing way to spend an hour or two.
3- Check Out Your Local Library for Fun, FREE Events! (https://www.bapl.org/events/, https://www.solehipl.org, https://www.hellertownlibrary.org/calendar.html)
Librarians all across The Lehigh Valley have been planning for this week all year! Check out your local library for special crafts and events planned over the holiday break. Spend extra time before or after a program and allow your children to pick out books to bring home and enjoy during their free time.
4- Let Your Kids Burn Off Energy at FreeFall Trampoline Park (https://www.freefalltrampolinepark.com)
This is my kids and my favorite trampoline park in The Lehigh Valley! They have a special toddler time every morning for children under the age of 6 and their caretakers. Then, tons of big-kid time every afternoon! Let your kids bounce off the energy from all those Christmas cookies! I like to jump too and count it as my workout for the day!
5- If All Else Fails, Drop Your Kids Off at Kids Quest (https://www.kidsquest.com/location/windcreekbethlehem/)
Kids Quest is a fun place to drop your kids off at the Sands Events Center while you shop or enjoy one of the many yummy restaurants. Kids can enjoy all of the fun and games while you enjoy a couple of hours of peace and quiet. After all of the holiday fun, you may need it!
