Things to do with kids in Colorado Springs this weekend

Last updated 12h ago · 6 upcoming

Saturday, November 7 is doing a lot of heavy lifting this weekend, and honestly, that's fine by us. Check the sky before you commit to anything outdoors — this time of year it can flip on you between breakfast and lunch. If the kids need to burn energy without freezing, there's a solid lineup of indoor stuff happening. FFO Goods has a Christmas Village-themed paint-and-pour session for the crafty ones, and Painting with a Twist is running a glow animals set with a DIY fall candle add-on, which sounds like a mess in the best way. Music people get options too: Flying W Ranch is doing not one but two Gingerbread & Jazz shows, and Pikes Peak Center For The Performing Arts hosts the Academy District 20 Choir Festival if you've got a kid in one of those programs or just like a packed house of harmonizing. Theater fans can catch Sunrise Players putting on Oklahoma! Six events, three categories, one very busy Saturday. Bundle the littles up for the drive, dress in layers, and pick your lane.
