Things for Kids & Families To Do North of Boston February 12 -14

The weather is just ideal for all the fabulous children and family events and activities taking place on Boston's north shore this weekend beginning with the not to be missed The Merrimack River Eagle Festival. Spend the entire day or check the schedule and attend just one or two free events. You can even have a photograph made with a live Raptor!
