Weekday Picks for Boston Kids: Groundhog Day, Beanpot Tournaments & More February 2-6
The snow on Monday not only kept the groundhog from seeing his shadow; it also canceled a scheduled Book Release with Mish Michaels to celebrate Groundhog Day. However, kids can still catch a Groundhog Day Storytime at the Blue Bunny in Dedham on Tuesday. Another big hit for young fans this week is the Beanpot Hockey Tournament (on our list of 100 Things to Do in Boston with Kids). The first games of the Men's Beanpot have been postponed from Monday to Tuesday, the same day of the first round of the Women's Beanpot.
The week wraps up with a choice of great events on Friday, including a Japanese-influenced performance of Pinocchio or free admission at First Friday Nights at the Discovery Museums in Acton. (For more ways to visit local museums for free, check out our posts highlighting free admission in Boston and in Greater Boston.)
Read on for our picks of the week, and don't forget to browse our full events calendar! Also, please check with the event venues for snow cancelations before heading out this week.
