Because weekends are for memories, not meltdowns 💛
Looking for something fun to do this weekend without spending hours scrolling? You’re in the right hive 🐝✨ This guide is your go-to weekend plan for families in Colorado Springs and surrounding areas, packed with ideas for every age, energy level, and budget.
Before you overthink it—check The Buzzy B Calendar.
We round up free and low-cost events happening right now including:
Storytimes & library fun 📚
Festivals, markets & pop-up events 🎪
Crafts, classes & hands-on fun 🎨
Sensory-friendly & homeschool-friendly options 🧠
💡 Pro tip: Pick one anchor activity per day. Anything else is bonus fun.
Colorado weekends are made for fresh air—even if it’s “four seasons in one day.”
Easy outdoor wins:
Playground hopping 🛝
Short family hikes (snacks required!) 🥾
Nature walks & scavenger hunts 🌿
Picnics with room to roam 🍉
🐝 Buzzy Tip: Keep expectations low and snacks high. That’s the secret.
🚶 Short Nature Walks
Not hikes—walks.
Flat paths, stroller-friendly trails, or loops around ponds help kids explore without pressure.
Too hot, too cold, too windy, or just too much? We’ve got you.
Indoor adventure ideas:
Libraries (storytimes, LEGO clubs, crafts) 📖
Indoor play spaces & drop-in studios 🧩
Museums with kid-friendly exhibits 🦕
DIY craft days at home ✂️
👉 Check our Indoor Fun Guides for parent-approved spots.
Libraries are predictable, welcoming, and FREE—huge weekend win.
☕ Kid-Friendly Cafés or Bakeries
Grab a treat, sit together, talk, and people-watch.
Sometimes the adventure is just slowing down.
Not every family adventure needs noise and crowds—and that’s okay 💕
Gentler weekend ideas:
Quiet library programs
Nature centers & open spaces
Art activities at home
Early-day events before crowds hit
🐝 Reminder: Fun looks different for every family—and that’s beautiful.
Sometimes the adventure is the treat 😋
Ice cream stops 🍦
Kid-friendly cafés ☕
Bakeries & sweet shops 🧁
✨ Memory magic happens over sprinkles.
You don’t need a packed schedule to have a great weekend.
One outing. One shared laugh. One “remember when…?”
That’s a win 💛
New events are added to The Buzzy B daily, so be sure to:
✔️ Check the calendar
✔️ Follow along on social
✔️ Share with a friend who always asks “What should we do with the kids?” 😉
Here’s to weekends full of connection, discovery, and fewer “I’m bored” moments 🐝✨
🍨 Ice Cream Stops
Low cost. High joy.
Let kids choose the flavor—it’s a confidence booster in disguise.
🥐 Donut or Pastry Shops
Early mornings = quieter spaces and happy bellies.
Picnic on the living room floor
Sunset watching
Scavenger hunts (inside or outside)
Reading together at the park
🐝 Reminder: The location doesn’t matter nearly as much as the connection.
You don’t need big plans or packed schedules.
One place. One shared moment. One conversation.
That’s a weekend adventure worth remembering 🐝✨
