Physicists start your engines! We’re offering an expanded version of one of our most popular STEM programs. Come make a mini racecar out of wood and other upcycled materials and then see how it rolls and modify it to make it faster. Kids get a hands-on dive into physics as they explore how weight, aerodynamics, and design affect their results.

Start your summer with a night of music, dancing, food, and drinks for all ages in the Wonderground. MCM’s first musical guest of the season is Atimevu, a local band offering traditional Ghanian tunes. Don’t miss the mini-set by opera tenor David Blalock and pianist Scott Gendel, performed in our Giant Bucket.
Admission is pay what you can, no registration needed. Enjoy our cash bar with grownup beverages and non-alcoholic options. Munch on light snacks available for purchase from our Lunchbox cafe. This concert is for ‘bigs’ and ‘littles’ alike—kids are welcome, but not required.
Did you ever want to fly like a bird? Dance like a monkey? Jump like a kangaroo? Or grow like a bean? Kids will learn to do all this and more, learning about difference movements through yoga, T’ai Chi and dance in this weekly outdoor, sensory experience.
* In the event of inclement weather, class will be moved indoors.
Join us for a mid-morning restart! Get your body moving and ready for a day of play in our outdoor yoga drop-in! Each week we’ll explore a different theme as we practice some light yoga.
We will have some yoga mats available to use, but if you have one, please bring it!
Best for ages 2 and up.
