Target Sizzlin' Summer Saturdays give kids and families a cool and creative way to spend July Saturdays. What's better, mom and dad or grandpa and grandma can explore the Heard Museum and enjoy the activities for free as well, thanks to support from Target. There's something for everyone!
Each Saturday from July 3-31, visitors can experience exciting dance performances at 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., meet authors of popular kids' books and listen to readings at 12:30 and 2 p.m.
Also, each week a special activity will take place in the museum! From animals to science demonstrations, kids of all ages will be sure to love each week's new attraction at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
