Free events in Dover, DE

In recognition of National Child Passenger Safety Week, a free car seat check will be available at North Smyrna Elementary School. Car seat technicians will be on site to inspect seat installations and answer questions about child passenger safety. The check station will be located in the park parking lot across the street from the school. No appointment is required. In Delaware, four out of five car seats are used incorrectly, so this is a chance to make sure yours is set up properly.

Homeschool families are invited to a special day at the Biggs Museum designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning. This monthly program offers a new theme each time, with live demonstrations and guided tours that introduce fresh topics, plus interactive learning stations featuring hands-on activities, STEM challenges, and creative projects. Take-home homeschool curriculum guides help continue the learning at home. It is also an opportunity to meet other homeschooling families and share tips. Admission is free, and registration by email is strongly encouraged.

Designed for adults 55 and older, this monthly gathering at The Biggs Museum offers changing themes, exclusive programs, and engaging activities that spotlight history, art, and science.

Seniors also receive special savings at the museum store. Admission is free, and both first-time and returning visitors can experience the museum at a comfortable pace while connecting with others.

Enjoy a no-cost gathering focused on Pokemon, where newcomers and returning players can learn the basics of Pokemon TCG, explore Pokemon VCG, or dive into Pokemon GO with guidance available.
