URGENT UPDATE: Children in North Platte are gearing up for an exciting adventure as Rail Days arrives on August 2, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Cody Park. This hands-on event, titled “Tractors, Trucks, Trains and Planes,” offers kids a unique chance to explore various vehicles that shape our world and community.
Families can look forward to free admission, allowing children to engage with tractors, trucks, and even an aircraft, all set up for exploration. The collaborative effort between the North Platte Area Children’s Museum and the Golden Spike Tower & Visitors Center highlights the importance of interactive learning.
“This is a perfect opportunity for us to meet families where they are — outside, exploring and learning together,” stated Sierra Gardner, Executive Director of the North Platte Area Children’s Museum. The event aims to foster curiosity and education, providing children with hands-on experiences that extend beyond traditional classroom settings.
Interactive activity stations will be positioned throughout the park, designed to engage young minds in transportation and engineering concepts. Attendees will not only get to see these impressive vehicles but will also participate in activities that inspire learning and creativity.
Gardner emphasized the significance of this event, noting, “While the Children’s Museum is well known for its vibrant indoor exhibits, this initiative showcases our commitment to supporting children in their communities.” The collaboration reflects a growing trend in North Platte, where local organizations unite to create enriching experiences for families.
Parents are encouraged to bring their children to this immersive event, which promises not just fun but an educational journey through the world of transportation. Don’t miss this opportunity to ignite your child’s imagination and curiosity!
