1. Watch an exciting show at the Rivoli Theatre
This historic community theater is constantly putting on quality productions all for a great price. This one is great for your older kids. The theater is hosting Haunted Theatre Tours in October.
2. Chow down on authentic Mexican food at Hacienda La Margarita
This popular restaurant gives Hudson Valley families a taste of genuine Mexican food. The restaurant is decorated with vibrant colors that your kids will love. The food is served on beautiful painted plates which will make you feel like you’ve teleported to sunny Mexico. Our personal favorite is the Hacienda Especial, which is a thin sliced grilled steak with grilled cactus (trust us, it’s seriously delicious), all served with rice and beans. If you have picky eaters, don’t worry. Hacienda La Margarita has a kid’s menu stocked with old standbys like chicken tenders, and cheese quesadillas.
