1. Harvest fun at Muddy Boot Farm
It’s harvest season at Muddy Boot Farm, Kidspace’s unique farm-to-table play space where kids run the whole show — perfect for back-to-school play with your best friends. Help your little farmers use a mock wheelbarrow to prepare fall crops, pick produce from planting boxes, and explore an oversized chicken coop to pick out their favorite eggs. If you have a young entrepreneur, head to a farm stand where they can run it themselves and operate the cash register, or serve mock meals at a Muddy Boot restaurant.
2. First Friday is free
Book a parent group meeting on the first Friday of every month at the Kidspace Children’s Museum. Known as Free First Fridays, parents and children can explore the museum’s 3.5-acre campus (for free!) during the evening from 4 to 7 p.m. You will have the opportunity to hang out with your friends while joining in the fun with your friends. Young learners across 40 interactive galleries and outdoor exhibits. Watch them ride a one- or two-seater tricycle along a small trail, dig for fossils, see an active beehive, or climb through an underground ant tunnel. Tip for parents: reserve your tickets in advance on their website!
