Spring Break is here! If you’re opting for a staycation this year, there’s plenty to do in our area.
The Prospector Theater always has family-friendly movies playing including Super Mario Brothers which just opened this week, and we love their snacks and drinks! This is such a great place to visit all year round, especially considering their mission is to provide competitive and integrated employment to people with disabilities through the operation of a premium, first-run movie theater.

Sometimes we take for granted that our area is home to plenty of parks, museums and playgrounds that you can check out year-round. Here are a few of our favorites:
- Woodcock Nature Center in Wilton offers terrific hiking trails and camps. There is also a great guide on AllTrails that includes maps and photos of many options in Ridgefield. For details, click here.
- Ballard Park’s playground is fabulous, especially this time of year and the gardens are just starting to bloom.
- Stepping Stones Children’s Museum and The Maritime Aquarium, both located in Norwalk, have plenty of programs for kids of all ages.
- Ridgefield Library will have a variety of activities including Story Times and STEAM Corner for Kids.

- Deborah Ann’s Sweet Shoppe on Main Street will be open and is always an easy, fun outing way to get out of the house no matter how old your kiddos are! If you don’t feel like cooking, some of our favorite family-friendly restaurants are Gallo, 850 Degrees Wood Fired Pizza, Wooster Hollow Café, Dmitri’s Diner, Prime Burger, and BareBurger.
