Fall River Slime Event Brings Science and Fun for Kids

Winter break is officially here, and if the kids are already bouncing off the walls, Fall River has a delightfully messy solution.

The Fall River Carousel is hosting a fun, hands-on Slime Lab event on Wednesday, February 18, for something different and just plain cool to do during school vacation week.

Parents, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., your little scientists can step into the Slime Lab with resident slime specialist Dr. Connery for an experience that mixes science and plenty of gooey fun. Kids will pick ingredients, choose colors and textures, and craft their own custom slime creations to take home. It’s educational without feeling like school – always a win during vacation.

Fun Meets Fall River Nostalgia

Even better, it’s happening inside one of Fall River’s most nostalgic spots. The Fall River Carousel is open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., making it easy to pair the slime session with a classic carousel ride before or after. Maybe it's just me, but there’s just something timeless about those painted horses and carousel music that keeps the nostalgia alive.

Fall River Carousel Gets New Operators

The Fall River carousel sits on the water in Battleship Cove and with new operators, will see a brand new life given to the historic relic.

See Everything to Explore at the Children's Museum of Greater Fall River

The former Bristol County Superior Courthouse on North Main Street in Fall River has transformed over the last decade into the home of the Children's Museum of Greater Fall River. From exhibits that local families know and love to those totally new features that have debuted in recent months, one thing is for sure: This museum is a must-see SouthCoast attraction and we have the pictures to prove it.
