It's school vacation week in Winchester, and that means a week of keeping your school-aged children entertained.

There's plenty of snow for sledding and snowman-making, however you might want to get out and explore science, history, art or more with your children. Or maybe you just want an indoor space to play?

• The Old Manse in Concord
• Peabody-Essex Museum in Salem
• Minute Man National Historical Park in Lexington
• The fisherman's town of Gloucester
• Two indoor play spaces for kids in Woburn
• The Discovery Museums in Acton
