Preschool

Get ready for some simple chemistry fun with Mad Science! At this free workshop, preschoolers will learn simple chemistry concepts and make some modeling dough to take home.

With the new Science Lab, kids will put on their lab coats and step into the role of a scientist. Using real tools found in professional science labs, visitors will study matter and motion, observe the life cycles of different species, investigate rocks and minerals, and explore a variety of science subjects through fun, hands-on experiences. 

Visit the Play Street Museum for some Fossil Fun! In addition to playtime, kiddos can learn about dinosaurs on the Discovery Rug and take a turn at making salt-dough dinosaur fossils.

Follow the bunny trail to The Magic House and get your morning hopping at the museum's Bunny Breakfast. The special guest will be – you guessed it – the Easter Bunny himself! Reservations are required.

Free activities for kids include superhero games, caped crusader crafts, robot demonstrations with Rockwood Teams, interactive STEM activities with Code Ninjas and "Little Ninja" training with Premier Martial Arts. 

The festival features exhibitors from conservation organizations, vendors selling recycled art and craft items, tree seedling giveaways and more. A recycling drive-through will take place in the south parking lot from 9 a.m to noon.
