About the Event

The Mini Motors workshop series is a hands-on adventure for your kids (ages 7-11) to explore the world of cars. Join us on the first Saturday every other month from 9 am to 10 am for a journey filled with experiments, cool art projects, and a chance to explore the awesome car collection at the museum. The workshop is free with the purchase of museum admission.

This month’s theme is Science of Tires on Saturday, April 4th, from 9 am to 10 am. Roll into this exciting workshop all about tires! We’ll explore how tires keep cars moving, learn why different tires are used for different adventures, and have fun along the way.
