Kids-Safari

The Kid's Main Street Safari through downtown Rutherfordton is the first
of it's kind. Usually occurring off the beaten path, even Kids in Parks couldn't
ignore how fun it is to explore a historic downtown. This trail is jam
packed with activities for kids of all ages. There are games, tree climbing,
gold hunting and a search that leads you through a Civil War cemetery,
just to name a few of the highlights.

The trail starts at either Kiwanis Park or KidSenses Children's InterACTIVE Museum and teaches kids about history and nature along the way. As an added bonus, kids can receive prizes for completing the trail and logging their adventures online at
kidsinparks.com. Don't forget to visit MyRutherfordton.com for other fun
activities for kids in and around town.

Since opening in 2004, KidSenses has welcomed over 275,000 visitors to our
10,000 square-foot space, which features 12 different interactive exhibit areas, curriculum-based workshops for field trip groups, a 7,500 square foot
Children’s Garden (open seasonally), and unique opportunities to
stimulate the imagination and educate the mind.

The concept of KidSenses Children’s InterACTIVE Museum began as one person’s dream, which, when shared with other creative minds in a very special community, grew and grew into a reality that has exceeded everyone’s expectations. Visit this interactive museum for a day packed with exploration, experimentation and adventure. Kids just can’t get enough!
