The Illinois State Museum hosts Super Saturday events from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the first Saturday of each month. Every Super Saturday event features themed activities for children ages 5 and up and their families. April’s theme is “recycled play day” and features activities designed to encourage children to reduce, reuse and recycle. During this interactive event, children will construct a large playhouse using repurposed cardboard boxes, create a piece of art using reclaimed materials with assistance from mixed-media artist Katherine Pauley, and play games sponsored by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Natural Resources. All Illinois State Museum Super Saturday events are free with museum admission, which is $5 for ages 19-64 and free to youth, seniors, military, veterans and museum members.
