Founded in 1949, the program was called the “Frisky and Blossum Club.” Today, Museum School continues to be a model for informal science education. REgistration is now open for Fall/Spring 2021-2022 Museum School.* Click the link below to open the Enrollment Packet.
On Sat at 6:30pm, Cinnamon Creek Ranch (13794 Old Denton Rd, Roanoke, 817-439-8998) hosts a St. Pat’s edition of its ever-popular Couples by the Creek event.

While St Patrick’s Day celebrates the patron saint of Ireland, who is credited with bringing Christianity to its people, we typically commemorate his day with green beer and avoiding being pinched for some reason. There is another place for that info. Meanwhile, here are the more family-friendly events happening throughout North Texas.
Who am I? Where am I going for St. Pat’s?
Skating thru the Seasons When is the last time you put on roller skates? If you ask Arlington Skatium (5515 S Cooper St, 817-784-6222), it’s been too long. This traditional roller rink has special events throughout the year, including St. Pat’s. From 6:30pm to 9pm on Wed, Mar 17, enjoy $6 admission, $3 nachos, and $1 big-pickle specials.
Storytime with Slime From 6pm to 7:30pm (and other 1.5-hour sessions) on Wed, Mar 17, Play Street Museum (5925 Convair Dr, Ste 533, 817930-2577) — a small format children’s museum designed with creativity, exploration, and independence in mind — is hosting St. Patrick’s Day Slime & Story Time in which kiddos will hear stories and make slime and snacks to take home. Tickets are $16 per child and include one adult admission at FtWorth. PlayStreetMuseum.com/Events.
Sweets for the Sweet Witherspoon Sweets — a home-based bakery in Haslet — is doing a St. Patrick’s Day-themed pop-up sale at 14000 Silkwood Dr on Sat at 9am until sold out. Cookie shapes include hearts, leprechaun hats, lucky horseshoes, rainbows, and shamrocks. The featured flavor is mint chocolate chip. For custom orders and more info, visit Facebook. com/WitherspoonSweets. If boozy shenanigans are more your speed, please check out next week’s ATE DAY8 A WEEK featuring food, fun, and funky beer inside the Eats & Drinks section in print or at FWWeekly.com under Calendar.

Going Out in Style for St. Pat’s How do you turn a party green? Walk into a bar, play “Come on Eileen” on the jukebox followed by anything from The Pogues or Dropkick Murphys (who are releasing a new album in April), order an Irish Car Bomb, and away you go. For those who feel cooped up and ready for some shenanigans, Going Out in Style isn’t just an album title but an anthem. St. Paddy’s Day is being celebrated near and far this week in bars, breweries, restaurants, and more. Here’s where to start. 1.) Both Buffalo Bros locations (3015 S University Dr, 817-386-9601; 415 Throckmorton St, 817-887-9533) have a special on corned beef thru St. Patrick’s

Attendance is free. 3.) From 11am thru closing time on Wed, Flying Saucer (111 E 3rd St, 817-3367470) is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with $10 Irish Flights, $8 Car Bombs, $4 Irish drafts, and corned beef and cabbage, plus live music by the Jake Quillin Band from 7pm to 10pm.
