Second Saturdays at The War Memorial
STEM-Tastic Fun!
Join us for the next installment of our new Second Saturdays Series at the War Memorial! We’ve got a fun Saturday morning line-up for kids and their families. Each program is just $10 per child (adults are free and so is the coffee!).
Doors open at 9am, with all activities set up station style, and the onstage performance by Mad Science scheduled for 10:15am. Details on activities below.
Magnetic Magic
Join Mad Science on a magnet treasure hunt to discover hidden magnetic treasure. We will set up several magnet experiments that will allow kids to see magnetic field and view a magnet's gravity-defying abilities.
Michigan Mammals
A great many mammals call Michigan home. Using skins, skulls, mounted animals and a variety of hands-on activities, students will learn how to identify Michigan’s mammals. Students will also explore mammal diversity and adaptations, especially as they relate to diet and survival. Presentation by Huron Clinton Metroparks
Onstage Show - Fire & Ice
This spectacular show will thrill and chill audiences with amazing dry ice experiments! From a shivering spatula to a special, bubbly shower, the audiences will be begging for more!
Storytime & Coloring
For our littlest attendees or siblings that might not be quite ready for all the science fun, we’ll have Storytime and coloring to occupy them!
Slime Workshop
Explore every parent’s favorite activity without the hassle of cleaning up! Our slime workshop helps kids learn about chemical reactions and measurements by mixing ingredients. They observe how the slime changes in texture and viscosity, fostering an understanding of polymers.
About our Second Saturdays Series
The second Saturday of each month, join us for crafts, activities, games, an onstage performance and more family-friendly fun! These themed monthly events are designed to provide a preview of some of the classes, camps and other experiences we host at the War Memorial throughout the year. Meet some of our instructors and learn more about programs offered at the War Memorial before you commit to a whole session. Plus there’s free coffee for parents, and an indoor place for the kids to run around and burn some energy during those long Michigan Winter weekends. Each session just $10, or get all six sessions for $50. See you there!
