On Sunday, May 18, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., families can climb in, on and around 40 construction trucks, emergency vehicles, cars and specialty vehicles - including a limousine, a Zamboni and a trolley - in the parking lot of Explore & More.

Families can also enjoy indoor and outdoor activities, such as derby car making and racing cars, visits from Sabretooth, WNED's "Clifford the Big Red Dog" and the NOCO Frog, imagination playground, a cupcake decorating tent to celebrate Explore & More's 20th anniversary, a bounce house and more.

Tickets can be purchased ahead of time at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/touch-a-truck-tickets-11203914209 or at the museum. Tickets also will be available the day of the event. The cost is $5 per person, as this is the museum's annual family fundraiser.
