Meet the animals and many, many more activities during Spring Break week

Spring Break begins March 14 for much of our community, with Poudre School District and Thompson School District earning some well-deserved time off. We will keep the learning and connections going, and are offering up a host of activities each day. As a reminder, the museum is opening Monday at 10 a.m. and has these activities planned throughout the week.

Tuesday, March 15 | 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Meet the Animals:
Join us in our Animal Encounters area and meet Slinky the Ball Python, the amazing regeneration ability of Leopard Geckos, and many more jaw dropping facts that make the animal kingdom so darn amazing. 

Wednesday, March 16 | 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Foley Art:
Sound plays a huge part in the film industry. Come explore how sounds are created and added to films to make them come alive. Join us on the gallery floor to learn about key moments in the sound effects industry, iconic sounds and how they are made such as a lightsaber, T-Rex roar, and much more!

Art Creation:
Creating art is a fantastic way to lower stress, refine motor skills, and simply to pass a windy rainy day. Come design and make your very own button, color a bookmark and take a free book home (special shoutout to the Poudre River Public Library for donating the books), or just stay a while and do some coloring pages.
