BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Families looking for engaging and educational activities during spring break and summer vacation have plenty of options at Explore & More – The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Children’s Museum and the Buffalo Zoo.

From hands-on STEM projects to behind-the-scenes animal experiences, both organizations are offering programs designed to keep kids learning while school is out.

Spring Break at Explore & More

Explore & More will host a week of architecture-themed STEM activities from April 12 to 21, excluding Easter Sunday. Kids will have the opportunity to build, design, and learn from industry professionals.

“It’s Architecture Week nationally, so we’ll be celebrating with a lot of different architectural STEM programming,” said Chris Ryndak, the marketing communications manager at Explore & More. "We’ll bring in different firms to have different activities for the kids—everything from construction to drawing to a lot of great experiences throughout the museum.”

Buffalo Zoo’s Spring and Summer Activities

Looking ahead to summer, the Buffalo Zoo’s six-week summer camp provides a unique way for kids to interact with wildlife. The camp features hands-on activities, animal encounters, and educational experiences focused on conservation and animal care.
