Due to weather, Free Fun For Kids will take place indoors at the Freshman Academy, directly across from Boarding House Park. Please note that the entrance for this event is on the John Street side of the building. Curious Creatures is always a big hit, but seating in the auditorium is limited to a capacity of 275. We will only be able to admit guests who are seated, and entry will be first come, first served.
Because of the move indoors to a theater setting, doors will open at 10:30 AM, with the Curious Creatures presentation beginning at 11:00 AM.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to a fun morning indoors!
