Most parents know about story time at the library, but there’s a lot more to see for kids of all ages at Princeton. You can learn chemistry from Princeton University graduate students or learn how to code and design your own web application. Lots of unique events happening all year, but if you’re just looking to stop by there’s a playroom, music, movies, and even a mascot Lion that can come home with you for a short stay.
