Are you looking for something fun for the kids to do this weekend.  We only have so many weekends left before school starts so we want you to have as much fun as you possibly can before the kids get back to their routines.   You can make plans for you and your kids to enjoy a fun time at the Don Harrington Discovery Center during Mindfest.  Stimulate your minds with inventing, building and creating.

What: Mindfest

  • Water Rockets- Shoot these water and pump powered soda bottles (rockets) into the air. Some go 20-30 feet up!
  • Craft Stick Creativity- Free-lance popsicle stick construction of your choice.
