Take a Ride on the Light Rail - Adventure of the Week

Riding the new Metro Light Rail with kids

By Mary L. Holden© 2009 Raising Arizona Kids

The Valley’s new Metro Light Rail system is up and running, offering easy access to many destinations for family outings.

Some quick facts about the Metro Light Rail system:
Fares begin at $1.25 for adults and 60 cents for kids.
Each train car can carry up to 200 people.
It takes 57 minutes to travel the entire route one way.
This is the longest stretch of starter line light rail in the United States.
An all-day pass must be purchased for a ride-the-entire-line, on-off experience. Otherwise, a new fare is needed for each stop destination.

For more information, visit Metro Light Rail or call 602-254-RAIL (7245).

Take an Adventure with your kids on the Light Rail by first going to this website (https://www.raisingarizonakids.com/index.php?page=article_view&ar_id=682) to print information for all 28 stations along the light rail route, and find fun worksheets for your kids!

See what Phoenix has available at each stop for you and your kids.

Annual Flagg Gem & Mineral Show

Does your child have an interest in collecting neat rocks or do you want your child to become more interested in science and the world around them?

That is a goal the Rock and Mineral Show offers to increase the interest of children in rocks, minerals, geology, and science. Children can become interested in science through minerals, crystals, and fossils, and their hope is to encourage their interest. Several groups including the MCC Geology Club will have free samples for children and for teachers. MCC geology faculty and students will have activities for children, such as "build a volcano". The Arizona Leaverites have a large collection of labeled rock and mineral samples, and 12 samples can be purchased for one dollar. Other clubs will have special activities for children.

Sounds like fun doesn't it? What's even better its FREE!!

The 37th Annual Flagg Gem and Mineral Show will be held Friday, January 9, 2009 to Sunday, January 11, 2009 from 9 am to 5 pm. The show will be located at Mesa Community College in the West parking lot which is on Dobson Road between Southern Avenue and the Superstition Freeway (US60). A rare public display of the Peralta Stones will be featured along with other special exhibits. Parking and admission is free, and there will be free activities for children along with free samples for children and teachers.
