Free series brings hands-on learning, wellness activities, sports clinics and family fun to the Plaza Green all summer long
Families can make the most of summer at The Battery Atlanta as the Wellstar Family Series returns with 22 free interactive events designed to keep children active, engaged and entertained throughout June and July.
Taking place on select weekdays from June 2 through July 30, the Wellstar Family Series features a lineup of kid-friendly programming including hands-on science experiments, STEAM-based building challenges, sports clinics, obstacle courses and special appearances from Atlanta Braves mascot BLOOPER.
“Creating opportunities for families to connect through active, engaging programming is an important part of the experience at The Battery Atlanta,” said Lauren Abernathy, Vice President of Marketing for Braves Development Company. “From hands-on learning opportunities and outdoor activities to wellness-focused experiences, the Wellstar Family Series creates memorable moments for children of all ages.”
Featured Wellstar activations include Teddy Bear Clinic experiences on June 3 and July 8, where children are invited to bring their favorite plush friend for a healthcare check-up complete with X-rays, bandages and wellness education led by Wellstar Children’s of Georgia. The family-friendly experience helps children become more comfortable with healthcare environments through imaginative play, while additional activity stations featuring fitness, coloring and appearances by Dr. WellBee add to the fun.
Wellstar will also host Small Bites Adventure Club events on June 17 and July 22 in partnership with Wellstar Children’s of Georgia. During the interactive cooking classes, children ages 4-12 will make salsa fresca while learning safe knife skills and healthy eating habits in a hands-on environment. Participants will receive recipe cards and stickers, and walk-up registration will be available as space permits.
