Now that Spring is tantalizing us with warmer temperatures and melting snow, you’re probably looking for something for the kids to help work off some of that pent-up energy.   We may just have the answer for you!!!

The Erie Planetarium is teaming up with the Erie Zoo to present “Animals in the Night Sky”.  The event will offer the chance to learn about the various animals that appear among the stars, and then meet some of the favorite animals up close and personal, courtesy of the Erie Zoo.  Top it all off with a craft session and a snack in the Watson-Curtze Mansion.

The day also affords the opportunity to tour the planetarium and the Mansion, located at 356 West 6th St.

The event begins  Saturday,  March 13,  at 9:30 am, and ends at 2:30 pm,  just in time to walk over to watch the St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

Tickets are $12 for children, $10 for Historical Society members, and $4 for adults.

Sounds like a really fun way to spend the  day, doesn’t it?
