Piedmont Triad Children’s Museum Round-Up
Cold weather has slowly been creeping in so outdoor play isn’t always a favorite choice. But, what do you do with the kids to keep them entertained while indoors? Visiting one – or more – children’s museums is a great option to let the little ones have fun and keep your sanity! Luckily, the Piedmont Triad has multiple options.
