    For ages 11-15.  Join us for a cross-country train adventure.  Players collect cards of various types of train cars that enable them to claim railway routes connecting cities throughout North America. The longer the routes, the more points they earn.  Additional points come to those who can fulfill their Destination Tickets by connecting two distant cities, and to the player who builds the longest continuous railway.  So climb aboard for some railroading fun and adventure.  You've got a ticket to ride!  Snacks will be served.  Registration required.

    It’s Friday and you walk into your science classroom and suddenly are swirled and twirled, round and round,
    until you find yourself back in your very first classroom, on that very first school chair you ever sat on. Clearly,
    you’re in the wrong class! The Teacher in the front. .. Isn’t even in your science teacher-but the kindergarten
    teacher you had! As Excited as you are to be back in the land of play-doh and crayons, you quickly realize that
    something is terribly wrong. Time isn’t moving forward and if you don’t figure out quick how to get yourself out
    of the flashback. .. You will be repeating that same hour of kindergarten, over and over and over again! You Just
    want it to be the weekend. .. Please!
