-KidsWorld

Fun! Creative! Inspiring!

Kids World provides a fun, creative, and inspiring hands-on experience for children of all ages. Our all-volunteer committee can’t wait for your arrival! We’re excited to have you learn how to juggle and perform magic. Be inspired by school choirs, bands, and participate in art workshops led by artists. Create art using materials available in the Reusable Resources and Kids World craft tent. Of course, you’ll want to make time for face painting and designing your own custom Spin Art too. And as a bonus, get your children fingerprinted. Everything in Kids World is free! So parents, budget time to let your kids explore their creative side.

Kids World is open from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Saturday and Sunday, April 22 and 23, 2023

Remember children must be accompanied by an adult while visiting Kids World.  We have wash stations, if needed, but please bring, hats and sunscreen!
