Just because you’re kids can’t stay up to midnight doesn’t mean they can’t have some New Year’s Eve fun. Celebrate with face painting, art activities, dinner and sparkling drinks from 4 to 6:30 p.m. At 6 p.m. share an early countdown complete with noisemakers and a balloon drop. Admission is $30 for a family of four, plus $7 for each additional child.
