Kids Fest

media release: Explore Children’s Museum invites families from across the community to join Kids Fest 2025, a vibrant, interactive event that will take place on Saturday, July 26 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Wetmore Park, 555 North St, Sun Prairie. This free family event features hands-on museum exhibits, engaging activities for children, local food trucks (food available for purchase), and live music from a kid-friendly DJ. Kids Fest is designed to bring families together, celebrating childhood doing what kids love best - play!

The highlight of the day is the Color Splash Party, beginning at 12:30 PM. Participation is $15 per person. All child participants will receive a Color Splash t-shirt, while adults may choose a ticket option with or without a shirt to join the fun alongside their kids.

“There are many events around the city for families to enjoy, but entrance fees can be a barrier. That’s why I’m so glad we are able to host Kids Fest without one! It is a joy for us to connect families and friends for a memorable day of play,” said Explore Children’s Museum Executive Director Katey Kamoku.

● Free family admission from 10AM–1PM
