Gingerbread Adventures
11/21/2009 - 1/10/2010: Times vary; click "More" for details.
Location: In the Everett Children's Adventure Garden

Step into Gingerbread Town, a fun and whimsical backdrop where gingerbread people are hard at work and play, delivering mail, making music, and generally amusing visitors. Pop inside the larger-than-life model of a Gingerbread House decorated with frosting and festooned with candy and treats.

Smell, touch, and taste the spices and other plant parts that make up a classic gingerbread recipe. Discover where cinnamon and ginger come from. Grind spices, plant wheat seeds to take home, eat gingersnap cookies, and record it all in a festively decorated field notebook.
