Beginning February 4, 2012 there's a wildly fun exhibit making its way to Crown Center. Animal Tales & Trails is an interactive habitat that will give children the opportunity to learn about some of the most fascinating creatures. The exhibit will be open from February 4 through April 29, 2012 in the Crown Center Shops showplace. It will be a FREE attraction open during regular shop hours and will feature several interactive stations and a reading area. Kids will delight in swinging like monkeys, climbing into an "eagle's nest", sliding down a penguin slide and more.
What's even more exciting is that Crown Center is giving one lucky person the chance to win a private safari adventure party at the exhibit for up to 20 kids! To register for the giveaway simply visit www.CrownCenter.com/Animal by March 1, 2012 to register.

Our friends at Noodles & Company are hosting a candy swap tomorrow, Sunday November 7th at all area metro locations. How does it work?
Kids 12 and under can trade a bowl full (or so) of candy for a small bowl of FREE Noodles. The candy will be donated to Operation Gratitude, an organization that sends care packages to the troops overseas.
Now, I don't know about you, but that sounds like a win/win all the way around! My kids LOVE the buttered noodles and the mac-n-cheese at Noodles & Company. So, get your kids to empty out their candy buckets and fill their tummies with some good stuff! Enjoy!
