Dinosaurs
Weekend Highlights, 3/13-3/15
March 12, 2009
We’ve got plenty of exciting highlights this weekend, including two opportunities for you to go out, sans kids. Have a look-see:
Lively Arts for Little Ones: DinoRock - The Other Barn, 5851 Robert Oliver Place, Columbia, 410-730-4610
Friday, 10- 10:45 a.m. (Ages 2- 5 with adult; tickets required)
What kid wouldn't enjoy a symphony of dinosaurs? I mean, really? Join the dinosaur babies, Crash-Boom-Bam Sam the Triceratops and a host of other Jurassic buddies as they explore a wide world of music.
Parent Survival Night - The Little Gym, 11121 York Road, Hunt Valley, 410-771-3000
Friday, 6-9:30 p.m. (Ages 3-10; reservations required)
Don't deny it; you could use a few hours away from the kids. And if you take advantage of this Little Gym program, both you and the kids are pretty assured of having a blast, as they'll get pizza and supervised crafts and gymnastics, while you'll get, you know, SEVERAL HOURS OF SANITY. Don't delay in making your reservations, though, as spaces tend to fill up quickly.
Opening Day! - The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, Druid Hill Park, 410-396-7102
Saturday, 10 a.m.
Can you believe it? Three long, chilly months have passed, and our beloved zoo is back in business. Pop in for all of your favorite animal attractions, and don't forget to say hi to Samson the elephant, who is now, I presume, a rowdy toddler.
Toddler Pajama Party - Confetti's Event Center, 802 Gleneagles Court, Towson, 410-825-2378
Saturday, 10 am.-12 p.m.
Every kid likes to party in his jammies, right? So let your kid snack, bounce and play in his jammies until he's exhausted enough to put the jammies to their intended use.
Anansi the Spider and the Moss Covered Rock - Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, 1212 Cathedral Street, Baltimore, 410-783-8000
Saturday, 11-11:45 a.m. (Ages 3-6 with adult; tickets required)
The BSO children's concerts are always amazing, and this one, based on the famous West African folk tale, promises to be a delight. Join the BSO, celebrated storyteller Charlotte Blake Alston and theatriclowns Mark Lohr and Tim Marrone, as they tell the tale of the tricky Anansi.
Infant Toddler Day - Port Discovery, 35 Market Place, Baltimore, 410-864-2668
Saturday, 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m.
Treat the littlest little ones to a day of fun with Precious Bundles and Two-ney Tunes with the Kindersinger (1 and 1:30 p.m.), as well as magic and balloon-sculpting with Bubbles the Clown (11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.).
Parents' Night Out - Ultimate Gymnastics, 1405 Tangier Drive, Suite D, Baltimore, 410-335-7788
Saturday, 6:30 p.m.-11:30 p.m. (Ages 2 1/2-18; tickets required)
Remember what I wrote about Parent Survival Night at The Little Gym? Yeah, well, here's another chance for you to go out as a grown-up . . . your second chance in one weekend. And here, too, the kids will enjoy pizza and supervised gymnastics, while you do all the grown-up stuff you never get to do.
Baltimore Folk Music Society Family Dance - St. Mark's on the Hill, 1620 Reisterstown Road, Pikesville, 410-321-8419 or 410-366-0808
Saturday, 5- 6:30 p.m. (All ages; Tickets Required)
Come on down for live music, traditional dancing and a tasty potluck dinner.
Baltimore Mariners - First Mariner Arena, 201 W. Baltimore St., Baltimore, 410-528-8094
Sunday, 4- 7 p.m.
Missing football? Bring the whole family out for an inexpensive indoor game.
