Hit the trail and head West without ever leaving the River Walk during Briscoe Western Art Museum’s Spring Break Roundup. With arts and crafts, scavenger hunts and earthquakes, capture the excitement and adventure of the West for your spring break, learning about Western lifestyle and seeing the stories shared through Western art brought to life.
Briscoe’s Spring Break Roundup offers children and caregivers different activities to enjoy together Thursday, Friday and Saturday of spring break. The come and go program includes activities that celebrate the heritage and culture of the American West. Different activities are being featured each day, giving everyone the opportunity to explore the West in a variety of ways.
Spring Break Roundup is included in museum admission, with no charge for craft supplies and no reservations required. However, caregivers must accompany participating children for each activity.
Scheduled programming includes:
THURSDAY: Native American Heritage Celebration | 11 am – 3 pm
Celebrate Native American heritage and learn more about Native Americans in the West through activities that include weaving, activities that teach about bison and crafting a Native American pinch pot from clay. The first 30 families that visit the museum will receive an award-winning Native American children’s book.
FRIDAY: Wild West, Wildlife! | 11 am – 3 pm
Get wild with crafts and fun focusing on the animals and landscapes of the West. From painting bluebonnets to making animal tracks, and a scavenger hunt that will lead families throughout the museum to claim a prize, everyone will enjoy the wild side of the wild West!
SATURDAY: Full STEAM Ahead Earth Shake? Earthquake! | 11 am – 1 pm
Part of the Briscoe’s new education series, “Full STEAM Ahead”, “Earth shake? Earthquake!” lets everyone imagine what earthquakes were like in the Old West. California and the West Coast are known for their earthquakes. How do you think Western settlers reacted and prepared for earthquakes? Families will create their own home and test it to see if it can survive an earthquake!
