Have a picky eater at home? Imagine them turning into a little chef, exploring + enjoying the art of food.

Marbles Kids Museum and Moore Square make that possible through The Creative Kitchen Kids Food Fest, May 3-4, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

Kids can participate in two days of free foodie activities like hands-on cooking demonstrations and the Balanced Plate Scavenger Hunt. Pro tip: Level them up with paid cooking classes led by James Beard award-winning chefs.
