Zoom, Zoom, Zoom! Trucks Day
at Strong National Museum of Play® on September 16

Honk if you love trucks! Rev up for a day full of fun when Strong presents Zoom, Zoom, Zoom! Trucks Day on Saturday, September 16, from
10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Kids and families can hop aboard a variety of vehicles parked outside the museum. See the view from the fireman’s seat; look inside a police car and a big yellow school bus; climb aboard a postal truck, an RG&E bucket truck, a Wegmans delivery truck, and others.

Come indoors for additional truck-related activities:
• Watch as artist Nancy Goethel builds a school bus made from balloons.
• Dress up like a jet engine, police motorcycle, or race car and have your face painted.
• Participate in readings from Richard Scarry’s Busytown books. Pick up an activity sheet and join the hunt throughout the museum for Scarry’s delightful “Goldbug” character.
• Steer yourself over to the car and truck play area where you can make tire track paintings and try your hand at puzzles.

All Zoom, Zoom, Zoom! Trucks Day events are included with general museum admission fees.
