About Keystone Kidspace: Keystone Kidspace is a nonprofit makerspace for kids and their grownups.
Event overview: Every year we celebrate our "birthday" - the anniversary of our opening our doors to begin serving the public - by offering all of our exciting, hands-on activities for free to families across the greater York community. From 10am to 5pm kids and their grownups get to experience all things Keystone Kidspace - on steroids and entirely free of charge - as our thank you for another wonderful year. Last year we welcomed over 600 visitors over 7 hours. It takes a lot of staff and many many volunteers to help our guests make slime and confetti cannons, man the bubble rave room and nerf war, hand out birthday cake and more. We hope you'll join us for a crazy but incredibly rewarding day delighting families and kids of all ages!
