About the Event
The Little Sparks workshop series is a fun, interactive way for your Little Sparks (ages 3–6) to explore the world of cars. Join us on the third Saturday of each month from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. to play games, create artwork, and enjoy the museum collection. Sessions begin every hour—please check in on the fourth floor of the museum. The workshop is free with the purchase of museum admission.
This month’s theme is Junior Archaeologists on Saturday, January 17th, from 9 am to 12 pm. Grab your hats and dig into adventure! Join us to uncover hidden treasures and explore how discovery helps us learn about the past—just like Indiana Jones!
