Looking for fun ways to keep your little ones entertained this week?
Baldwin County has plenty of exciting events to spark creativity, encourage outdoor adventures and bring the community together.
From hands-on art sessions at Eastern Shore Art Center's Mess Makers Society to a close-up look at Alabama's native snakes at Gulf State Park, there's something for everyone. Young anglers can cast their lines at Meaher State Park's Kids' Fishing Day, while little ones can enjoy engaging storytimes at libraries in Daphne and Orange Beach. For a creative twist, the Loxley Public Library's Lego & Magnets event offers a chance for all ages to build and explore.
These events provide the perfect opportunity to try something new, meet other families and create lasting memories. Many are free or budget-friendly, making them accessible for families across the area.
