Is there a 2016 spring and summer kids’ events calendar?
Am thinking of giving six year old grandchild a gift membership dependent upon types of events planned.
It’s a wonderful gift idea! There are a variety of events offered each day they are open – the calendar is not out yet for 2016. They usually have a storytime once per week along with hands on events other days of the week. Events are held twice each day so it’s not something where it’s only at certain times or days and you’d miss out. The garden is open in early spring a couple days a week and as the year progresses it opens more days.
