Staff Report
Discovery Center Museum is turning into Old MacDonald’s Farm June 17 (11 a.m.-3:30 p.m.) as part of its Family Friday series. So, take the family to the Discovery Center to see what Old MacDonald has in store with goats, bunnies, pigs and more barnyard friends.
Climb aboard the combine and explore life on the farm. Hold baby farm animals, construct cornhusk dolls, guess that grain and test your farm knowledge with the Wheel of Farming game show.
Visit Discovery Center’s new agriculture exhibit, “Ag-zibit,” to milk cows, see live bees in action, measure an acre and more.
The event is included with museum admission: $7 per person; free to members and children age 1 and younger.
Discovery Center is inside Riverfront Museum Park, 711 N. Main St. Call (815) 963-6769 or visit discoverycentermuseum.org [1].
