This weekend is packed with all kinds of family fun all over North Alabama. Follow the yellow brick road to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz this weekend presented by Fantasy Playhouse. There are several show days and times this weekend and next! You can visit Fantasy Playhouse’s website to grab your ticket. On Saturday at 4 p.m., join the Sci-Fi Family Hike on Green Mountain. A late afternoon hike designed for families with kids ages nine and up to explore some of nature’s fall beauties.

This weekend is packed full of fun all over North Alabama! Beginning at 8 a.m. Saturday, you can visit the fall plant sale at the Huntsville Botanical Garden. You can take a gander at a variety of plants, herbs, trees, vegetables, and more. This sale will happen rain or shine, so plan to come out and support the garden. If your little ones love to tinker with toys, you don't want to miss the Earlyworks Tinkerfest.

Get ready for a weekend full of fun after a heat wave in the Rocket City this week. On Saturday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., head to Burritt on the Mountain for Makers on the Mountain. You can experience basket weaving and cordage making with invasive plants. This experience will teach your child how handmade cordage is a beautiful way for plant material to be woven into basketry. Later Saturday morning at Lowe Mill, take a walk through the Outdoor Market to see vendors from all over the area.
