Museum announces February Dakota Discovery Detectives class

The Dakota Discovery Museum will be hosting a new mystery for the children’s Dakota Discovery Detectives program on Saturday, Feb. 13.

Aspiring detectives ages 3-8 will have a chance to solve a real museum mystery. Participants will look for clues hidden in the museum and record the clues in their very own Top Secret Detective Notebook to solve the mystery. Arts and crafts projects related to the mystery’s solution will complete the class time.

Future Detectives classes will be held on March 13 and April 17. Each month offers a different mystery to solve.

There is a cost per child of $4 for non-members and $2 for museum members. Pre-registration is required, and class size is limited, so please call ahead to reserve your space. Parents are welcome to accompany their children.

Detectives ages 3 through 5 will meet at the Dakota Discovery Museum from 9 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. and Detectives ages 6 through 8 will meet from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Childcare providers and preschool instructors are welcome to inquire about booking this program for their group at any date other than the scheduled public classes.

Please contact Lori Holmberg for more information about any of these programs at 605-996-2122 or via email at edu@dakotadiscovery.com.

The Dakota Discovery Museum is located on the campus of Dakota Wesleyan University, 1300 McGovern Ave. The museum is currently closed to the general public but tours can be arranged.
