With warm temperatures still hit or miss around Long Island, get outside and play before old man winter hits. Enjoy the Colors of Nature program at Sherwood Jayne Farm or Family Crew Hour at the Cold Spring Harbor Whaling Museum.

Several local productions are still on stage this weekend as well if you choose to stay indoors: Jungle Book in Smithtown, James and the Giant Peach in Northport and Sleeping Beauty in East Islip.

Looking for safe alternatives to trick or treating, perhaps indoors or in a contained area? There's plenty of events and activities around Long Island. From parties and parades to costume contests and more, kids can get dressed up, get candy, but don't have to actually trick or treat around town.
