Join us Saturday, April 26th: 10am-2pm Rain or Shine
We believe purposeful play + memorable experiences foster a life-long love of learning.
Touch-A-Truck is an opportunity to get an up-close look at big trucks and unique vehicles! But more importantly—it’s a chance for children to:
- Explore exciting careers in construction, public safety, farming, and more
- Meet heroes in the community
- Engage in hands-on activities and use their imagination

Attendance
NEW THIS YEAR: Donate-what-you-wish admission! Attendees may choose a desired donation amount at check-in on the day of the event. No pre-registration is required.
Our suggested donation amount is $10 per person attending but you may choose any desired amount for entry. This donation supports year-round experiences, exhibits, and programs we provide at the museum!
Every donation of $10 will receive a thank you gift
Important Parking information:
We will have some on-site parking at the museum on Saturday as well as alternate parking + shuttle bus at Calvary Church down the road. Please see the maps below.
Options:
- Check Hands-on House to see if there is parking available. If our lot is full, you can drop off your guests in the circle (in front of the museum) and the driver can head to Calvary Church to park and wait for the shuttle.
- Avoid the rush, head straight to calvary church and wait for the shuttle to bring all your guests to the museum. When you are ready to return to your vehicle, please send one person to ride the shuttle back to your car at Calvary. You can then return to pick up your guests at Hands-on House.
