Boston-area moms- what to do on a rainy weekend?

femmegem

I'd love to get DS out. We're members of the Children's Museum and just went there last weekend, so I would love some other ideas. We've also recently been to the aquarium.

We live in the inner northern 'burbs, so it doesn't have to be right in the city. I wouldn't mind going for a drive if there's something nearby, either, like within an hour or so of here. Any thoughts? Anything in the area we should make sure we don't miss?

Not anywhere near Boston (why did I open this) but it's gonna rain here on Sunday and we are thinking about going to the Toy Story double feature...just an idea

I'm up for anything, and a movie is a good idea. Thanks shopgirl!

There's a newish playgym in Woburn right off 93/95 that we went to last time we visited. . . I think it's called "The Klubhouse."

Russel Orchards in Ipswich-obviously you're not going to pick apples in the rain...but they have a whole big shop and you can watch them press apples and make cider. Plus lots of other yummy things to eat.

I was also going to recommend The Klubhouse in Woburn. It's on Washington St. (in the Cummings Park cluster of stores/businesses). We haven't been yet, but lots of my friends have brought their preschool-aged kids and have said that it's great.
