Every month, I highlight a few family-friendly happenings you may want to mark on your calendar — and to know right at the start of the month that you have something fun coming up!

Sometimes these will be events that you need tickets to or RSVP for – in which case, advance is always better. So, here’s 5 fun things I am excited about for February!
Friday, February 10-Sunday, February 12 – Sesame Street Live is coming to NRG! Join your favorite characters (even an optional Elmo and Friends Meet & Greet with the VIP ticket add-on) for a fun performance! Showtimes on Friday, Saturday, & Sunday.
