Join the KidsQuest Children’s Museum in Bellevue for KidsQuest Summer Nights, an event taking place every Friday and Saturday in July, beginning July 7th. Starting at 4:30 pm and running until 8 pm, this after-hours experience is great for the whole family.

With special guests and unique activities planned for each week, KidsQuest Summer Nights is set to captivate children and adults alike. From magical storybook science to things that go zoom, animal adventures, and live music, there is an abundance of fun and discovery awaiting attendees.

Kicking off the festivities on July 7 and 8 is “Storybook Science,” an enchanting event that draws inspiration from beloved stories. Immerse yourself in a world of magic and wonder as you play with faux-poisonous apples, engineer magical castles, and create your very own wand. Don’t miss the special Princess story time read by the Ice Princess from Fancy Fairytale Parties, a treat that is sure to delight the little ones.

On July 14 and 15, get ready for “Things That Go,” a thrilling exploration of all things that move. From planes and trains to classic cars and bikes, KidsQuest will be transformed into a hub of excitement. Families will have the opportunity to sit in classic cars, engage in Wheely Cool Painting to create artistic masterpieces, and even launch rockets high into the sky. Plus, be sure to say hello to the Bellevue Police Department, who will be making a special appearance at the event.

Prepare for a wild adventure with “Animal Adventures” on July 21 and 22. KidsQuest invites you to learn about fascinating creatures from the animal kingdom. Discover reptiles with two thrilling reptile shows presented by the Reptile Lady, get up close and personal with adorable goats, piglets, and bunnies at Plucky Palamino’s Petting Zoo, and gain insights into animal welfare from Pasado Animal Rescue. This event is bound to be an educational and entertaining experience for children and adults alike.

The grand finale of KidsQuest Summer Nights takes place on July 28 and 29 with “LIVE Music!” Rock out to the sounds of local musical acts and dancers as KidsQuest transforms into a musical wonderland. Explore different instruments, experiment with sound vibrations, learn new dance moves, and take a shot at KidsQuest Karaoke. ADEFUA, a renowned group specializing in West African cultures, will be onsite to perform and teach drumming and dance. Get ready to sing, dance, and groove your way through the museum!
