Become immersed in the world of design in our May family day. Activities are inspired by the Mood River exhibition. Design a colorful kite to fly high in the sky. Use everyday materials to give a puppet personality. Or create your own recipe for fun as you decorate an edible cookie masterpiece. Families will also enjoy outdoor kite demonstrations, theater performances, a special discovery tour, and much more!

For more information about Family Day and other family programs at the Wexner Center, call the education department at 614 292-3535.
