Tips for family fun by Jane Kwiatkowski
1. Park it Saturday: • Winter Trails Day at Knox Farm State Park, 437 Buffalo Road, East Aurora: 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. – Snow or no snow, enjoy nature. Cross-country skis welcome. Snowshoes provided (826-8895).
• Lighthouse Tour and Trail Adventure at Golden State Park, 9691 Lower Lake Road-Barker: 1 to 3:30 p. m. – Visit Thirty Mile Point Lighthouse, then take a hike to the marina (282-5154).
2. Do we have some manuscripts for you! Take the clan and open your mind to Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum at 453 Porter Ave. for an up-close look at Austrian physician Dr. Sigmund S. Freud. This exhibit features documents handwritten and typed by Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. Open 11 a. m. to 4 p. m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday (885-4139; www.karpeles.com ).
3. Skate the day away and listen some, too. From noon to 10 p. m., exercise the Extreme Wheels way with ramps and rails for inline skating, skateboarding and BMX bikes, too. Be sure to stick around for a slew of music starting at 5:30 featuring an all-ages show with seven bands! Ten dollars gets you the music (871-9361; www.xtreme-wheels.com).
4. Polar bears, be careful. Global warming could hurt you, but what actually is this much-discussed phenomenon? Learn about climate change and what you can do to fight it at 1 p. m. Saturday when Reinstein Woods presents Global Warming Cafe. Find the cafe at 93 Honorine Drive in Cheektowaga (683-5959; www.dec.ny.gov.).
