From Friday, December 26 to Tuesday, December 30 Kidspace becomes a winter wonderland as tons of snow will be trucked into the Museum to serve as the centerpiece to the Museum’s 7th annual Snow Days. Snow Days at Kidspace takes place from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on the weekdays and 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on the weekend. Kidspace Members will be able to gain access to Snow Days one hour before the general public during special “Member Previews” on Friday, December 26, from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m., and on Saturday, December 28, from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m..
Each day guests will find snow play for all ages, including a special toddler zone for children ages four and younger, in the central courtyard, dry ice experiments in the Nature Exchange, seedling adoption in the Kidspace Gardens, snowflake art pendants by Color Me Mine, snow themed story time, art activities, and more all over the Museum. The snow play, and science and art activities are free with admission except for the Snowflake Pendant activity, which costs $8 in addition to general museum admission.
In addition to the interactive, hands-on activities that will be happening during Snow Days, there will also be daily live performances in the Stone Hollow Amphitheater from such groups as Chris & Maggie, Nathalia Palis, Just Kidding, and more. Kidspace Educators will also be presenting a special interactive demonstration about the formation of snow to add to the fun.
“This will be our 7th year bringing Snow Days to the community and every year it has gotten bigger and better,” said Julianne Sando, Kidspace Events Manager, “It is a very special week here at Kidspace and seeing children discover, encounter, and play in snow, some for the very first time, never gets old.”
