Get ready to slide on a fireman's helmet and dive into the driver's seat of a police cruiser because the Cobb County Safety Village is rolling out its annual Family Fun Safety Days this summer. In a recent release, families are invited to embark on a day packed with interactive educational experiences aimed at teaching kids of all ages about safety. From touring Sparky's House to participating in safety games and observing emergency vehicles up close, the village has a full lineup scheduled.
Kids can expect to meet real-life heroes—firefighters, and emergency personnel—while getting a hands-on feel of their vehicles. Amid the family-oriented festivities, little attendees will have a chance to visit a mini "Strand Theatre" puppet show or learn crucial life-saving practices, like how to escape smoke or dial 911. "Don't know who Sparky is? He's our mascot. Come meet him!", according to the Cobb County Safety Village announcement.
The program is designed not just for entertainment but also to educate about fire hazard reduction in homes, optimal safety in the kitchen, and the importance of home fire drills. With no restaurant or vending on-site, families are encouraged to pack their own refreshments and to enjoy the day's events, which will happen come rain or shine.
Mark your calendars for the summer dates on Tuesday, June 11, Tuesday, June 18, and Monday, July 15, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The event is located at 1220 Al Bishop Drive in Marietta, GA, and promises to be an enlightening experience for all ages. Pricing for this event is a steal at $5 per person, with a family cap of $20, ensuring that no family is turned away because they have too many kids to fit into a fire truck. For groups larger than 20, the announcement mentions to call 770-852-3270 for special rates.
If stories and pictures of kids mingling with emergency responders don’t pull at your heartstrings, the affordability and educational aspect surely will. For further questions or press queries, Allison Carter can be reached at 770-852-3272 for more details.
