Honor the newly inducted toys to the National Toy Hall of Fame and revel in a weekend of activities featuring past inductees, including Easy Bake Oven and Hula Hoop, during National Toy Hall of Fame Celebration Weekend at The Strong museum on Saturday and Sunday, November 7 and 8 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Watch 4-H youth and museum staff put their cooking skills to the test in cooking demonstrations with the Easy Bake Oven at noon. Enjoy a socially-distant flow arts performance featuring glowing lights, dances, and the Hula Hoop at 1 p.m. (Please be aware that strobe and flashing lights are used during this performance.) Test your skills by solving a mystery, inspired by the popular board game Clue and visit the Toy Halls of Fame exhibit to create virtual bubbles, orchestrate a music show using Crayola Crayons, and more.
All activities included with general museum admission fees. Programs underwritten in part by Delta Air Lines, the official airline of The Strong.
