Spring into Belle Isle Family Day

With our family day occurring the same day as the 11th annual Belle Isle Spring Into Nature 5k Run/Walk to benefit the Aquarium, Belle Isle has family-friendly activities lined up all day on Saturday, April 30! Our third annual Spring Into Belle Isle Family Day will feature free activities and make-and-take crafts from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum, as well as the chance to participate in a Belle Isle Road Rally. (Please see facebook.com/belleislerun if you want to participate in the 5k!)

Are you ready to visit a variety of interesting attractions and learn more about the past—and present—of Belle Isle Park? From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., attendees can participate in the Belle Isle Road Rally, meeting in the Dossin’s Gothic Room as home base. Families, couples or small groups of friends can work together to solve clues related to key locations on Belle Isle. Then, they’ll travel to the locations to find answers to a few questions. Unlike a scavenger hunt, the road rally is not timed and relies on earning points. The road rally takes a minimum of one hour to complete. Groups will not be sent out after 2 p.m., but completed road rally information will be accepted until 4 p.m. All teams that participate will earn a prize.
