Frequently asked questions
No, we understand that some families have multiple children of varying ages. You can choose to register your whole family for the time slot that works best. The older age session may have more advanced crafting and educational content.
We have a strict attendance limit due to space and material constraints. If you have a family of 3 but there are only 2 tickets available (for example), please do not plan to show up with more people in your group than the number of tickets you have registered for.
We are prioritizing families and teens. Adults are welcome to try to attend as a walk up if space permits.
Teens are welcome! But you must be 14 years or older to be in the Ed Center without a legal guardian.
