Every 2nd Saturday of the month, visit CSU Spur for free, family-friendly fun! On 2nd Saturdays at Spur, there are dozens of hands-on activities, educational programs, and fun ways to wear out the kids. The activities change every 2nd Saturday – come back often! Both adults and kids can “see” and “do” at Spur – from watching animals in surgery and helping stuffed animals in the mock kids’ veterinary clinic to exploring food grown in greenhouses and on green roofs and experimenting with (and eating) new recipes in the Spur kitchen.
Plus, enjoy food, coffee, and drinks available for purchase from Western Daughters.
Admission at CSU Spur is always free; plan your visit.
