Moms are invited to spend a magical Mother's Day at The Magic House, and in honor of their special day, mothers will be admitted free of charge.
The Magic House will be abounding with fun and creativity while children and their moms spend the day together fishing in the Walker Pond, making their hair stand on end at the electrostatic generator, dancing to the rhythm of the reef in Splash and Bubbles and much, much more! Children can also wish their mom a very special Mother's Day by creating a one-of-a-kind Mother's Day keepsake just for her in the Museum's Art Studio.
11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. At The Magic House.
