The Lincoln Children’s Museum will be providing Game Day play dates during most home Husker football games. The Play Dates require pre-registration and spaces are limited. Caregivers can drop their children off 90 minutes before kick-off and extend an hour past the end of the game.
Children ages 3-12 who attend will get a tailgate party all their own. “They can look forward to football-themed games and crafts, time “running plays” among museum exhibits and a mid-game snack to keep all pint-sized players fueled for fun,” museum officials say.
Participants must pre-register at www.lincolnchildrensmuseum.org. Lincoln Children’s Museum Member rate is $35/child/game and non-members will pay $45/child/ game.
“Game Day Play Dates are back for 2021. Our education staff is ready to wear their Husker red and have planned some amazing football themed S.T.E.A.M. activities for participants,” said Tara Knuth, Executive Director, Lincoln Children’s Museum. “A tailgate they can call their own, these play dates bring together our youngest Husker fans for play and gives caregivers an opportunity to attend the game knowing their kiddos are well taken care of here at the Museum.”
Children are required to wear a mask. Attendees are encouraged to wear their game-day gear supporting their favorite team.
