Programming this Sunday, June 1st includes…

Discovery Tales : Look, listen and sing! Gather ’round, friends. Join us as we sing songs and read special stories focused on connection and community that the whole family can enjoy.

Family Portraits : This immersive experience invites young guests and their families to work together and create a photo frame through creative use of texture and colors through our provided art supplies! Groups will be able to take a picture together for their frame after creating it.

Color Pop! : Red, yellow, and blue – mix the primary colors in a variety of hues in this hands-on creative activity where you can let your colors pop with bubbly rainbows!
