Children’s Discovery Museum Holds Touch-A-Truck Event

From the Children’s Discovery Museum of the Desert:

RANCHO MIRAGE, CA – Have you ever wanted to sit on a big rig or explore a fire truck? On Saturday, November 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Children’s Discovery Museum of the Desert (CDMOD) is hosting “Touch-A-Truck,” a hands-on learning experience that will allow attendees to look, see and touch vehicles of all shapes and sizes.

Children love to explore and investigate, and unrestricted play is essential for healthy, cognitive development. At Touch-A-Truck, children and families will receive a unique hands-on experience, with vehicles of all types including construction, public service, emergency, utility, landscaping, transportation, delivery, and more. Children will be able to interact with their favorite vehicles as well as meet the men and women who serve and protect our communities. Kid-friendly activities, face painting, and delicious food provided by MADHOUSE Catering will make this event a perfect outing for the entire family!

“The Museum is very excited about hosting this unique, interactive event for our annual Fall Family Fundraiser,” says Carol E. Scott, CEO. “We’re giving families a rare opportunity to climb on vehicles
that are normally off limits. It’s also a chance to meet the people who use these vehicles to service our community.”

Funds that the Museum raises through Touch-A-Truck will support CDMOD in its mission to inspire
personal growth by engaging curiosity and creativity through hands-on exploration. As a valuable community resource for children and families, we offer an opportunity to experience the joy of learning about themselves and the world around them. The Children’s Discovery Museum is a 501c(3) organization and has served the Coachella Valley for more than 18 years. Touch-A-Truck Fall Family Extravaganza will allow the Museum to continue to enhance the quality of life of our community through programming in the areas of health, education, and cultural development.

This family friendly fundraiser is open to kids and adults of all ages. Tickets for members are $12 each or $45 for a member family 4-pack. Tickets for non-members are $15 each and $50 for a nonmember family 4-pack. Tickets can also be purchased at the door for $18.
