The Mississippi Children’s Museum – Meridian is welcoming spring Saturday with Bunnies & Butterflies presented by Magnolia Steel Co. Inc.

MCM-Meridian’s outdoor exhibit, My Fantastical Backyard, will spring to life for this special occasion and provide an inviting setting for this season’s festivities. Children will get to interact with real bunnies, learn about the lifecycle of butterflies and enjoy garden games.

The museum is also welcoming some exciting guests. The Mississippi Entomological Museum will have lots of interesting insects, and the Easter Bunny will be hopping around ready for a photo. Author Brandall Laughlin will also join in the fun to read her book “Do Butterflies Make Butter?”

The museum will be closed the following day, Sunday, April 20 in observance of Easter and will reopen on Monday, April 21 for Magic Monday. This Magic Monday’s theme is Colors of Spring.

Tickets are $10 per person for general admission and free for museum members. To view a full schedule of activities for the day, visit mcmmeridian.org.
