5 fun things to do on Good Friday in The Woodlands

THE WOODLANDS, TX – With luck, you’re one of the people who don’t have to work on Good Friday. Contrary to popular belief, the Friday before Easter isn’t one of the eleven annual federal holidays; however, it IS a state holiday in Texas, along with eleven other states. While federal offices and the post office are open, schools are closed, along with countless offices.

So, if you find yourself with a day away from work – or are a parent with kids in tow on this school-less day – you might find yourself scrambling for family-friendly things to do. Here are five ideas we’ve snagged from our events calendar. Check out the full calendar for a complete slate of fun events for the day!

1. Dog-friendly Easter egg hunt at Playful Pack
Hop on over to this doggie haven for some tail-waggin’ fun. For just $5 your pup can participate in the dog-friendly Easter egg hunt, pose for an adorable bunny ear photo op, and receive a printed photo keepsake and a special Easter goodie bag for every pup.
