It has been said that, “children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get” (H. Jackson Brown). When it comes to kids too many folks spend their time planning for tomorrow rather than attending to today. A child lives in the present, they are the ultimate receptors and have a natural inclination for stimulation.
At the Rail Yards Market, they are committed to building the future by appreciating the present moments with our kids. Therefore we have plenty of exciting, stimulating activities and entertainment planned for you on Kids Day at the RYM!
Kids Powered STEAM
In the Kids Zone will feature the fine folks from the Fractal Foundation. They will be teaching kids (and adults) about what fractals are, what they are used for, and how they are made. Come on down and make your very own fractal!
In the Arts Zone they will feature Dara Saville who is the founder and primary instructor of the Albuquerque Herbalism bioregional herbal studies program. She is also the founder and director of the Yerba Mansa Project focusing on restoring native plants to the Bosque and providing educational outreach about the Bosque’s ecological importance to native plants and animals.

“What day is it?”
It’s today,” squeaked Piglet.
My favorite day,” said Pooh.”
— A.A. Milne
Be present, be there with your kids in the trenches of their messy bedrooms, playing with them as they sift through their limitless imaginations. They are our best chance to truly change the future in a positive way! See You Sunday!
