Mississippi Children’s Museum of Meridian hosts Magic Monday

MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) -Monday, MCM-Meridian hosted Magic Monday with the theme “The Great Outdoors.”

Although it was a pretty hot day, the museum had quite a few activities for the kids to enjoy on the inside and a snow cone machine on the outside.

Children from all over came out from 10 AM until 3 PM to do various activities, such as leaf rubbing, bird nest making, and interacting with the Mississippi Museum of Natural Sciences.

Hosting events like these can be unique, especially when it puts a smile on the kid’s faces.

“It is absolutely great. You get to see their smiles. We’ve had several children today, and I don’t know if it was their first time seeing turtles and alligators, but they were just absolutely overjoyed, and the look on their faces was priceless,” says Program Assistant Melinda Goff.

Now that school is officially out for the summer, the museum can open an extra day so that the kids and their families can enjoy themselves.

”So typically, we are not open on Mondays unless the children are out of school. So we are open seven days a week now, which means we are open on Mondays now, allowing the children to come out and play and enjoy. Every Monday has a theme, and this coming Monday will be Mississippi Adventures. We will be doing something from the Meridian area and throughout the state, so you guys should come on out. It is from 10 until 3,” Goff says.

This is the first of many Magic Mondays, as the children had such a great time.
