Although we’re in the middle of winter, Holland never has a shortage of fun activities for your family to participate in. We have some exciting and affordable events that your kids are sure to love!
Family Fort Night
Herrick District Library (300 S. River Ave. Holland, MI 49423)
Saturday, February 24, 2018
5:45pm-7:00pm
Building forts is one of life’s simple pleasures. Kids love building them, and to be honest, so do adults! The Herrick District Library is hosting a family fort night for all to attend. They ask that you take your own, blankets, pillows, flashlights, and any other fort making materials you need along with you. They will start off by reading some stories, and then release you and your kids to get creative and make your own reading forts. Snacks will be provided.

Snowshoe Hike
Outdoor Discovery Center Macatawa Greenway (4214 – 56th St. Holland, MI 49423)
Actual event will take place at:
Bysterveld Park (4171 – 14th St. Wayland, MI 49348)
Established in 2000, this organization has helped preserve and protect over 1,200 acres. Their mission is to teach adults and children the importance of being caretakers of nature. Hundreds of people each year visit their nature preserves for the adventure and scenery. During the winter they host a free snowshoeing hike. All participants will get the chance to explore Bysterveld County Park walking on Ojibwa-style snowshoes in search of local animals and plants. Snow shoes are ideal for children 8 and up but you’re more than welcome to bring a sled to pull your little ones.

We hope you can get out of the house and enjoy all of these fun activities for February!
