Children’s Learning and Play Festival

One of the highlights of the Festival is the variety of local vendors from the Valley that will be in attendance. Meet children’s authors and illustrators, hear story-tellers, see topnotch children's shows, live performances and interact with storybook characters. Dinosaur exhibits, arts and crafts, a STEAM showcase, animal attractions, photo booth, kids rides, face painting and other attractions are also scheduled.

The Children’s Learning and Play Festival activities are structured as opportunities for kids to engage in hands-on learning and exploration.

These interactive exhibits and workshops allow children to explore a variety of subjects, from science and technology to art, engineering and literature. It is a great way for kids to discover new interests and passions.

The Conservancy and its wildlife partners will bring live wildlife exhibits featuring reptiles, birds and other animals native to the Sonoran Desert. These exhibits are always a popular attraction, giving kids the chance to see animals up close and personal. It’s an incredible experience that you are sure to hear about during the entire car ride home!

Not only is this event a great way for kids to learn while having fun, but it is a fantastic way for families to spend quality time together in a comfortable indoor venue nearby. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to give your kids an experience they won’t soon forget. Visit mcdowellsonoran.org for tickets.
