Cardboard Challenge

The Art Explorium is giving parents a chance at a date night with its Oct. 19 Kids Night Out: Cardboard Challenge. Drop off the kids (ages 5 and up) from 5:30-8 p.m. and they won’t even notice you’re gone as they watch the film “Caine’s Arcade,” the story of a 9-year-old who makes his own arcade one summer. Then the kids can try building games from cardboard and trying out each others creations. There will be pizza and healthy snacks; $30 per child ($20 for additional siblings). REGISTER HERE.
