- An “Easter Egg” scavenger hunt through the Museum with a prize
- A build-your-own trophy station
- A station to dress up like a real jockey, and to color your own silks
- Wish Secretariat a happy birthday by designing your own birthday card
- Light refreshments and sweet treats will be served throughout the event
Additionally, the Museum will be screening the popular Disney film Secretariat in our Hall of Fame. Guests are welcome to come in and watch the movie. The film will begin at 11 a.m.
