Each week, we give you the info on the five best family activities or events for the week. You're time-pressed enough, so we're happy to do the research and find the best things to do and places to go, both locally and within reasonable striking distance.
Where/when: Brighton District Library, 1-2:30 p.m. Saturday.
Why go: Kids ages 3 to 7 can enjoy a movie, craft and story at the library; get cozy … BYOP&B (bring your own pillow and blanket).
Pricing: Free
Where/when: Brighton Bowl, 9-11 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
Why go: Bring the whole family, but Saturday and Sunday "Dollar Days" are perfect for young bowlers. Bumpers raise automatically, making it easy to avoid the gutters. Bowling balls are available in a range of colors, starting at six pounds. Best of all, the price is right!
