It's back-to-school time, and if your kids already started, they may be tired and craving some rest time once this weekend arrives. Or maybe you want to enjoy this last weekend before starting this Monday!

Here are some fun ways to celebrate before school starts or as you get into the routine of school: 

Saturday, Aug. 26: Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh and Wild Kratts at the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

If you are curious about local wildlife (and love the Wild Kratts), come check out this great show at the new Wild Kratts exhibit. Learn about the animals in our forests and fields with local experts. This event is included in admission, which is free for the month of August. Reserving free tickets in advance is recommended. 

Saturday, Aug. 24: Moon Township Pokemon Go! Fest, 12 p.m. to 4 pm. 

Grab your phone and your favorite kid for this event at Moon Township Community Park. There will be lounges, changing stations, refreshments and more. There is no fee to attend this event. Find all the details here. This event coordinates with a global Pokemon worldwide event!
