The Christmas break is a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time with your kids, engaging them in fun and educational activities. Decatur offers a variety of attractions that cater to family entertainment over the holidays. The Historic Decatur Union Depot, open Monday through Friday, features interactive exhibits that kids will love. Another fantastic location is the Decatur Public Library, where families can enjoy a Story Walk at the beautiful Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge. As you stroll through the Atkeson Cypress Trail, you can read ‘Hello, I’m Here!’ by Helen Frost, creating a delightful blend of nature and literature. For those seeking adventure, the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center is another free option where kids can explore and learn about wildlife. Alternatively, the Cook Museum of Natural Science offers a hands-on experience with various science exhibits, but you'll need tickets for entry. Sweeten your holiday experience with treats from local favorites like Tess' Place, known for its ice cream and gourmet sodas, or KaleidoScoops for even more icy delights. Don't forget to visit Oliwia's Shave Ice & Ice Cream, which offers a delicious array of shaved ice flavors that will keep your kids refreshed. For a cozy treat, consider a visit to Main Street Bakery Cafe, where you can enjoy freshly baked goods in a warm atmosphere. With so many options available, this Christmas break can be memorable for your family. Engage in creative play, enjoy nature walks, savor sweet treats, and create lasting holiday memories with your children at these wonderful Decatur locations!
