Hannaford Kidz Expo
March 15 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

The popular Hannaford Kidz Expo returns as a free, family-friendly event with something for everyone!
Find activities galore, including character meet-and-greets, face painting, bounce rides, arts and crafts, mini-golf, and even a reptile room.
Families will appreciate finding information on everything their kids need in one convenient location:
summer camps, health care, sports clubs, amusement parks, dance studios, and more!
Kids learn best when they’re having fun!
Nicholas Polini (Ridiculous Nicholas) graduated from Penn State University with a degree in biology.
He was a fisheries biologist for 4 years, then a molecular biologist for another 4 years
before he changed careers and became a full-time comedy variety entertainer.
Now he’s merged his two passions into one entertaining, hilarious, and educational show!
Watch as your kids get EXCITED about science and take the lessons from the Super Science Show with them for years to come.
They’ll be having so much fun, they’ll forget that they’re actually learning!
Show times: 11:00 a.m. | 1:00 p.m. | 3:00 p.m.
Location: Hart Theatre at The Egg
Each show is 20 minutes long and is followed by a meet-and-greet opportunity!
