Little Alexandria: Indoor Activities Around Town.
By Erica Barker
February is a great month to continue the indoor exploration and check out some local, free activities in Alexandria. One of my favorite go-to spots to take my son is our local Alexandria library, and not just for books. The Alexandria library system has multiple branches that each hold enrichment events for kids. All events are free and a great spot for meeting other local families while keeping your little one entertained.
My favorite local libraries are the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library in Old Town and the James M. Duncan Library in Del Ray. The Barrett library has a large children’s area, decorated with puzzles, toys, and stuffed animals for kids to play with while enjoying a fun reading environment. Barrett has children’s activities and story times throughout the week and a special Saturday story time with music and movement for younger kids.
The Duncan library also has some unique free offerings for families. Duncan hosts story time throughout the week, even a pajama story time in the evenings where you can bring your child in their pajamas with their favorite stuffed animal. The children’s area at Duncan has plenty of puzzles and toys for your little one to enjoy and even hosts a LEGO club on the weekends.
