About the Program
Join us for a special Explore Play Learn series where babies and toddlers can enjoy their very own splash pad experience! We’ll start indoors in the Auditorium with a fun, summer‑themed storytime before heading outside to sing, play, and splash in temperature‑controlled water. There will be two splash zones—one for babies and one for toddlers—so everyone can play comfortably at their own level. Please come with your child dressed for water play, and don’t forget sunscreen and a towel. If your child prefers to stay dry, indoor free play activities will be available as well.
