Staff Report From Savannah CEO

Thursday, February 23rd, 2017

On Saturday, February 25th, families from around the lowcountry are invited to celebrate everything Dr. Seuss during “Seuss Fest.” Event attendees are encouraged to dress as their favorite Dr. Seuss character, in honor of the children's book author. The event will will take place from 10 am to 4pm at Savannah Children’s Museum, 655 Louisville Rd. Savannah, GA 31401.

"Seuss Fest is a great family event that celebrates and encourages the exploration of our own wacky language through Dr. Seuss stories,” said Jessica Paterson, Savannah Children’s Museum Operations Supervisor. “Families can share educational experiences that promote literacy for all ages, while having fun and learning through play!”

Our museum educators will lead the group with Seuss stories, games and activities. This year we will have a “Seuss Science Station,” a “Green Eggs & Ham Rhyming Maze,” a “Save the Trees Station with The Lorax” and a Seusstastic Selfie Station, complete with costumes and props. Guests are encouraged to use #SeussFest2017 to share their experience on social media!

We will also have a few of our community partners providing Seuss-filled fun throughout the day. The Dwaine and Cynthia Willet Children’s Hospital of Savannah will bring a “Hop on Pop” interactive game and a “One Fish, Two Fish Relay.” Loop It Up Savannah will have on-going craft activities in the baggage car. Savannah Children’s Theatre will also share performances from “Seussical the Musical” at 12 pm and 2 pm.

Admission to “Seuss Fest” is included in the cost of regular admission to Savannah Children’s Museum, $7.50 for all guests 18 months and older. This event is free for Coastal Heritage Society members.
