Get ready for a week full of fun, laughter, and unforgettable memories at Providence Children’s Museum (PCM) during the February school vacation. The museum will have extended hours as well as an extensive schedule of activities during the February break. Special activities start on Saturday, Feb. 17, with the museum open every day between the 17th and 24th to bring play and joy throughout the week.

To kick off the week, on the 17th the Society of Women Engineers will be exploring the five kinds of engineering with PCM visitors.
 
Mad Science of Southern MA & RI will have two shows all about the fundamentals of moving science with Newton’s Laws of Motion on the 19th at 11:00 am and 2:00 pm.
 
Rock-a-Baby will give a special musical performance on Tuesday the 20th at 2:00 pm. This crowd-pleasing & joyful singalong will include lots of dancing and merriment for the whole family!

Widely recognized for her role as Hilary Banks on the hit TV series "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," Parsons has ventured into the world of children's literature with her captivating storytelling. Families attending Read & Play Every Day can look forward to a free children's book, reading sessions from local authors, and learning-focused activities provided by Reach Out and Read Rhode Island.
