Puppets, paper airplanes, art that pops, birds of prey . . . Fridays will be a flurry of family-friendly fun at Behringer-Crawford Museum during July.
Each Friday from 7-8 p.m., BCM’s open-air amphitheater will host low-cost, entertaining and interactive outdoor activities that grown-ups and kids can enjoy together. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children aged 3-12. Parking is free.
Here’s what’s happening:
July 6: Rumpelstiltskin with Madcap Puppets.
The nationally recognized children’s theatre company presents a musical adaptation of the classic story of a young girl who must spin straw into gold to save her father.
July 13: Skool Aid
Kick off your family weekend with an exuberant enrichment program provided by Skool Aid. Have fun with drums with a game called Che Che Kooley, which involves drumming, percussion, singing and dancing. Plus, take the paper airplane challenge: create paper aircraft and send them flying off a launchpad.
July 20: POPP=D Art
Have a one-of-a-kind experience making art outside POPP=D ART’s
campy “gallery on wheels,” actually a transformed 1963 Rainbow
Caravan camper, operated by a group of local creatives whose goal is to make creating art fun.
July 27, 7-8 p.m. – Beaks & Talons with Raptor Inc.
Get up close and personal with birds of prey. Raptor Inc. will bring three live avian ambassadors to the BCM veranda for a presentation on what makes them such supreme hunters of the sky.
