The Arkansas Educational Television Network has partnered with the Mid-America Science Museum for AETN & PBS KIDS Day Saturday, Oct. 6, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Families are invited to meet and take photos with Daniel Tiger, as well as participate in a scavenger hunt and other activities and giveaways. Currently on display in the museum is the “How People Make Things” exhibit, inspired by “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” which links familiar childhood objects to the process of manufacturing that combines people, ideas and technology.
Mid-America Science Museum, 500 Mid America Boulevard, Hot Springs, will be open its normal business hours, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. General admission is $10 for ages 13 and up, $8 for ages 3 to 12, and free for members and children age 2 and under.

With more than 100 engaging, hands-on exhibits that explore the wonders of energy, matter, life and perception, the museum seeks to spark curiosity and enhance scientific understanding through inquiry, observational skills and discovery learning.
