Description:
Begin your visit by setting out your blankets or chairs on a spot on the lawn to enjoy interactive family entertainment on the Outdoor Concert Stage for six Fridays in a row. These hour-long performances have something to please everyone in the family, including puppet shows, dancing, comedy, storytelling, music and, in most cases, a mix of everything! After the performance, head over to the Parade Field to complete a craft or garden project. These hands-on projects allow your family to bring something special home to remember your visit to Heritage. While youre there, get a temporary tattoo and play with giant games! Dont forget to pick up a Family Treasure Hunt Passport at the Ticket Office, where you will be guided to a different museum treasure each Friday and, after discovering this treasure, receive a stamp in your passport. Summer Family Fun Fridays are FREE with museum admission, registration is not required, and in case of inclement weather, all performances and activities will move indoors.
