The Vail Recreation District’s (VRD) Imagination Station, Vail’s learning and discovery center, will celebrate its annual season opening party from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8 to showcase the changes it has made over the last year. Located in the LionsHead parking structure above Subway, the Imagination Station offers children ages 2 through 12 a wide array of hands-on science and art activities including science of sound, a giant marble wall, a paint-with-sand pendulum, a black-light room where children can capture their shadows and an exhibit where children experiment with balance. The season opening party is an opportunity to preview the activities before the Imagination Station opens for the winter season in December. The celebration offers free entry to Imagination Station, free food from Pazzo’s and Subway and special games and challenges.
The Imagination Station opened in November 2005 and according to VRD Youth Services Director Chad Young, each year Youth Services staff enhances and expands its offerings. If it has been a while since your last visit, Young suggests scheduling plenty of time to explore all the changes. “We have focused on making the look and feel of the Imagination Station very welcoming for the upcoming season,” said Young. “Additionally, we have enhanced the music area with new instruments and added quite a few new activities. You’re guaranteed to see something new at the party.”
The Imagination Station will transition to its winter hours on Dec. 1 and be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday through Friday, closed Saturdays.
