Saturday, June 15, is the 30th annual Felix Adler Day. This yearly celebration is in honor of Frank B. “Felix” Adler, who was a famous clown from Clinton, Iowa, and the inspiration for the Felix Adler Children’s Discovery Center. Held in June to coincide with Felix’s birthday, this is the largest event the Discovery Center holds.
Join the Discovery Center – rain or shine – with free admission to the Discovery Center and the festival grounds. There will be plenty of family fun to be had and things to explore both on the festival grounds and in the museum. This includes: pony rides, petting zoo, trackless train rides, live stage shows, inflatable bouncy houses, game tent with prizes every time, face painting, balloon artists, professional clowns, and a food booth by the Futon Kiwanis Club with all proceeds going to the Discovery Center.
