Scarsdale with Kids: 25 Things to Do for Westchester Families
By Judith Frost, Mommy Poppins
- Settle in with a good book in the sweet children’s section of the Scarsdale Public Library. Also enjoy story times, drop-in crafts, junior book club and baby free play.
- Get in the holiday spirit at the Annual Holiday Music Festival hosted by Hoff-Barthleson Music School.
- Book a haircut at A & G Happy Kids Haircuts where you’ll find a toy box full of things to entertain siblings and an electric train running overhead to make the outing fun.
- After your little one’s haircut, head next door to Buon Amici Deli for delicious Italian take-out for the whole family. Seriously. Everyone who finds out about this little gem becomes an addict.
- It’s never too early to learn a new language. Smart Linguists offers fun, quality Spanish classes for children. Olé!
- During summer months, keep cool at Scarsdale Municipal Pool Complex. Choose from several lovely pools, grab a treat at the snack bar, and romp in the playground!
- Cruise to Scarsdale Concours’ Annual Auto Show, a premiere show that benefits local charities.
- Hit up the Annual Sidewalk Sale (outdoor shopping is much more enticing to tots).
- During the summer months, take in a free outdoor concert at Chase Park, a 40+ year tradition! My kids loved picnicking and enjoying a “mini Tanglewood.”
- Peruse the aisles of educational toys and games at Learning Express Toys of Scarsdale.
- Treat the kids (and yourself!) to sweets at The Scoop Shop.
- Introduce little ones to a non-spicy dish at Little Thai Kitchen.
- Take horseback riding lessons at Boulder Brook Equestrian Center. Pony rides are also available the wee ones!
- Hit up the nature themed Discovery Playground at Greenburg Nature Center and stick around for fun and educational programs, festivals and events.
- Enjoy festivals and other family programing at Weinberg Nature Center.
- Romp in the open fields, play tennis or take in a little league game, then feast in the covered picnic area at Crossway Park.
- Take a dance class at Central Park Dance, where you’ll find classes for all ages (including adults!).
- Let your kids make their own dessert at Peachwave Yogurt.
- Budding author in the family? Check out Scarsdale’s annual Young Writers Workshop, a forum for young writers to develop skills in a wide range of media.
- Have a blast at the annual Scarsdale High School Carnival, complete with kiddie rides, food and games.
