Weekday Picks for Boston Kids: Veterans Day & Ski Expo, November 9-13

11/8/15 - By Kip Wilson Rechea

At the beginning of November, I noted all the days my kids have off from school so we could plan some fun activities, and now the Veterans Day holiday is upon us! A couple of events offer free admission just for those who have served in the military. You'll also find special activities for all ages on Wednesday, including a family-friendly show (pictured). It's not too early to think winter, either. Now's the time to reserve tickets on a local Polar Express, or if you're thinking of a winter wonderland, the Ski & Snowboard Expo can get you ready for fun in the snow that's sure to be right around the corner. Keep your eye on the full Event Calendar for other exciting happenings.
