Around Boston in 80 Days

The Boston Children’s Museum may be closed for construction but they’re keeping busy in the community, bringing hands-on activities to every Boston Public Library branch via Around Boston in 80 Days.

This program runs through the end of March, but we got the scoop on two great events to cap off February vacation week. Tomorrow (Feb. 23) from 10:30am - 12:30pm at the South Boston Library (646 East Broadway, Tel: 617-268-0180), kids can get a sneak peek at two new BCM programs involving kitchen science and Twister-style fitness. And a special program (not currently on the calendar) will take place on Sunday the 25th at the central branch (Copley Square, 700 Boylston Street; Tel: 617-536-5400). Families are invited to celebrate the Chinese New Year with costume, stories, and craft from 1-2:30pm, and a traditional Chinese music concert at 2:30pm.

All events are free of charge, and free mini family photo stickers are available; one sticker is added to a big map of Boston, the rest are yours to take home.
