About this adventure

Kidsville, in partnership with The Parthenon in Centennial Park, offers a classic free children's storytelling and art workshop on a Saturday morning. The Parthenon is the world's only full-scale, 1:1 replica of the ancient Greek temple on the Athenian Acropolis, housing a magnificent 42-foot-tall gilded statue of Athena. On Saturday mornings, families with children aged 12 and under can receive free admission at the main entrance with a Kidsville event voucher. Children will sit in the grand Doric column hall to listen to invited children's authors tell engaging autumn myths and nature picture books, then, guided by instructors, create a creative craft to take home. After the event, families can stroll with strollers around Lake Watauga in Centennial Park to feed wild ducks and admire the autumn leaves. The Parthenon has accessible ramps and elevators, allowing strollers easy access to all exhibition floors. Ground floor restrooms are equipped with clean changing tables. Arriving 15 minutes early for registration is recommended, as spots are first-come, first-served.
