Date: First Saturday of the Month (September - May)
Time: 10:00AM – 2:00PM
Wyoming is a really fun place to be in the summertime! With family gatherings, outdoor adventures, and tons of community events to attend, we understand that your lives can get pretty busy. That's why we're making some minor changes to our annual Family Day schedule.
Going forward, you can expect nine amazing Family Days each year, running the first Saturday of the month from September through May. You can also join us for popular special events like Dino Day in the summer and Halloween at the Museum in the fall! We'll be using June, July, and August to meet you at community gatherings like Super Day, Frontier Days, and Plein Air in the Parks.
All Family Days include games, crafts, and other engaging activities! Each month we celebrate a different topic, from science and wildlife to history and culture.
Family Days are generously sponsored by Scheels in Johnstown, CO. Thanks to their support, these events are always free and open to everyone!
