Second Saturdays at The War Memorial
Earth Day Explorers
Join us for the final installment of the 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!). Second Saturdays will resume in September!
Doors open at 9am, with all activities set up station style, and the onstage performance scheduled for 10:00am. Details on activities below.
Onstage Show - Think Green!
Saving the planet one kid at a time is what the Think Green: A Healthy Planet Show Stage Show is all about.

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!
