Patriot Place in Foxborough will host daily programming for kids and families on school vacation from Friday, April 15 through Sunday, April 24. The week kicks off with a chicks and bunnies petting zoo on the Dean College Stage on April 15 from 3 to 5 p.m. On Saturday, April 16, an onsite wildflower truck will gift free bouquets to the first 50 guests outside Bar Louie, and complimentary spring photos for families will be taken from noon to 4 p.m.

The fun continues throughout the week, starting with a block party on Monday at noon on the Dean College Stage, followed by a talent show on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Citizen Crust hosts a meet-and-greet, singalong, and photo opp with the characters from Disney’s “Encanto,” and Thursday will bring a “Mad Science Experiment” on the Dean College Stage at noon. Friday, April 22, Bass Pro Shops celebrates Earth Day from 1 to 4 p.m. with a reptile show, a scavenger hunt, a cranberry bog tour, nature-themed crafts, and live music.

Some activities, like the “Encanto” meet-and-greet and the Earth Day celebration, will offer sensory-friendly options for children with disabilities or sensory processing disorders. Patriot Place’s other businesses will get in on the kid-friendly action all week, too, with events like Disney-themed paint nights at Muse Paintbar and a Disney trivia night at Six String Grill & Stage.
