About Vulcanโs Day of Play in Birmingham

Before we fill you in on what to expect during Vulcanโs Day of Play at Vulcan Park and Museum, hereโs a cool thing to know. Itโs part of Nickelodeonโs Our World: Worldwide Day of Play, a global initiative to inspire kids and provide them with tools to activate their creativity.
Honestly, they had me at โNickelodeon!โ (Late 80s kid hereโฆ Hey Arnold and Rugrats were my life.)
โWorldwide Day of Play is a celebration of imagination, history and the joy of discovery. As we come together to explore the rich tapestry of our past and ignite the sparks of curiosity in the hearts of our future, we remind ourselves that play is not just a break from reality; itโs a bridge to a brighter, more connected world.โ
