School’s out the week of Feb. 17 for mid-winter break. Depending on where your child goes to school, they could be on break for a couple of days or for the entire week.
With low temps outside, it’s easy to fall into the boring trap of staying indoors at home. Keeping that in mind, we have rounded up a sampling of mid-winter break activities in metro Detroit for you to check out with your kids.
