The Woolaroc Museum and Wildlife Preserve in Osage County, Oklahoma, is hosting Kidsfest for a weekend of family-friendly entertainment and outdoor adventure [1].
This event provides a creative and educational environment for families to engage with nature and art in a scenic setting. By combining hands-on activities with the preserve's unique wildlife and museum assets, the program aims to foster youth engagement with the outdoors [1, 2].
The event is currently in its 34th year [1]. This iteration of Kidsfest is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, June 21-22, 2025 [1].
Organizers have designed the weekend to include a variety of special attractions and interactive experiences. The programming emphasizes a blend of creative expression and environmental education, allowing children to explore the preserve's grounds while participating in curated activities [2].
Executive Producer Neal Rempel of CTV News said the event's lineup showcases the scale of the activities available to visitors [2]. The preserve serves as the backdrop for these festivities, utilizing its position in Osage County to draw families from across the region [1].
Activities at the preserve typically range from wildlife observation to guided crafts. Because the event is a staple of the local summer calendar, it remains a primary draw for the museum's annual visitor traffic [1].
“Kidsfest is in its 34th year”
The longevity of Kidsfest, now in its 34th year, demonstrates the sustained demand for experiential education and family-centric tourism in rural Oklahoma. By integrating a museum and wildlife preserve into a festival format, Woolaroc leverages its physical assets to promote environmental literacy and regional heritage to a younger demographic.
