World’s Greatest Spring Break for Kids 2012

Why travel miles and miles and spend a fortune to entertain your children during spring break? Stay home and visit the World’s Greatest Spring Break in Waterloo, March 10-18, 2012. Seven cultural, arts, and recreational attractions in downtown Waterloo are opening their doors for kid centered activities for just $1 per person, per attraction. 

Venues include: Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum and Grout Museum, Bluedorn Science Imaginarium, Phelps Youth Pavilion, National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum, Black Hawk Children’s Theatre, Young Arena, and the Waterloo Public Library.

There will be special activities three days of the week. On Wednesday, from 10:30 – 11:30 a.m. a Sock Hop will be held at the Waterloo Public Library. Sponsored by the Volunteer Center of Cedar Valley and the Library, youth will participate in a sock hop, listen to a book reading, learn different dance steps, try playing a rhythm instrument, and enjoy a snack.

On Thursday, March 15 Black Hawk County 4-H will provide hands on activities at a Mystery Corner at the Grout Museum from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Experience multiple mysterious experiments, have fun, be amazed, and find out what summer will bring.
 

Friday, March 16, will allow children the opportunity to explore the Digital Arts Studio at the Waterloo Center for the Arts. For the day on Friday, March 16, Met Transit will stop at all sites approximately every 20 minutes, including at the parking lot under the viaduct across the highway from the Grout Museum. The rides are free of charge to anyone wishing to visit any of our World’s Greatest Spring Break sites. During the ride, Quakerdale will be providing fun activities.
