The Stay-at-Home order has been lifted — and just in time, too because we bet your teen has been pretty restless stuck in the house.
Lucky for them, there are some in-person events starting back up in our area that can help them blow off some steam.
We’ve compiled a list of a few cool teen-friendly events coming up in metro Detroit and Ann Arbor that they’ll enjoy. Not ready to let them leave the house just yet? We’ve got you covered with virtual activities and at- (or near) home options, too.
