Curious Kids Day 2026

Bring the whole family for a day of fun, curiosity and our four-legged friends with Vermont Public and Find and Go Seek.

❓Join us for a live taping of But Why: A Podcast for Curious Kids with host Jane Lindholm where kids can ask their questions about dogs.

👋Say hello to Arthur and Molly of Denali from PBS KIDS.

🎨 Get creative with crafts and hands-on activities, and enjoy a welcoming, sensory-friendly room designed for all kids to feel comfortable. 

🐶Snuggle with the sweet pups from Therapy dogs of Vermont.

🍩 Enjoy free milk, coffee (for grownups!) and donuts courtesy of Stewarts Shops.

🎉It’s a celebration of curiosity and canines — made just for families.

🎫We have three time slots, be sure to reserve your tickets for your preferred start time. Tickets are just $5 per person (both kids and adults). Babies and kids under two, who do not need their own seat, are free. Space is limited and this event sold out last year so tickets must be reserved in advance for all attendees. Walk-ins will be welcomed if space permits.
