Calling all kids (and kids at heart).

National Mascot Day is Tuesday, June 17, and EdVenture is celebrating with an exciting meet-and-greet event featuring popular characters from Columbia and beyond. From sports to schools, there will be a mascot for everyone. It’s going to be epic.

During the Mascot Meetup, happening from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at the museum, families can:

  • Interact with their favorite local mascots (bring your best high-fives, fist-bumps, and dance moves).
  • Snag autographs.
  • Strike a pose for countless photo ops.
  • Enjoy all of the fun EdVenture has to offer.

Pro tip: Don’t miss Eddie’s mascot roll call at 12 p.m.

Psst... This event is included with museum admission. And yes — EdVenture is open on Tuesdays, now through Labor Day.
