It’s the last weekend in March, so it’s about time you got outside.
Your kids can enjoy a unique afternoon at the park with Pop-Up Adventure Play. They’ll provide the props if you provide the imagination. Your family can also create bouncy balls and flavored gum at Chicago Botanic Garden.
Desperate for a date (or girls’) night? Shop for vintage posters in Chicago, or catch a concert in Skokie and Evanston.
