World Cup

Just in time for the 2026 World Cup, make your own craft stick soccer player with a colorful jersey. Then, learn about soccer in the Sports Hall of Fame exhibit in the upper rotunda as we read Goal! My First Soccer Game. While all are welcome, this program is intended for children ages three and up. Young children may have difficulties with the craft.
