Grab & Go Kids Planner: Bring on April

From circus performances and theatre productions, to fun for preschoolers, here's our best bet for a super start to April.

  • The World’s Greatest Circus artists swing into action in the spotlight under the Big Top, where no seat is more than 50 feet from the ring from April 2 until May 15 at City Hall Plaza. Dance On! will include an awesome troupe of monocyclists and lasso twirlers from China, a mind–bending group of Mongolian contortionists and twelve miniature horses in an equine chorus line. Vist the site for dates, times and tickets information.
  • Who doesn’t love this book: “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie”?
