Trying to think of a way to get your kids off the game console, tablets, and phones and head outdoors instead?  Maybe have them stretch their little comfort zones and do something that builds confidence at the same time?  Then with the help of our friends at the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary, have we got a Big Deal for you! Sign up for a chance for you gamers to experience a real treetop Youth Ropes Course Adventure Day at The Heard in McKinney.

The Ropes Course offers a variety of experiential learning activities from low-course to high-course elements. Imagine your adventuresome twosome balancing on logs, swinging on ropes, or riding a 600-foot zipline. These activities provide an atmosphere for learning that help participants build self-esteem and efficacy. The next Adventure Day will be July 11, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is recommended for children 7 through 14.

Have we got you in the mood for more adventure? Then sign you up for our other Big Deal this week – tickets to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science at Victory Park to catch the traveling exhibition The World’s Largest Dinosaurs.

PLEASE NOTE: Only Art&Seek e-newsletter subscribers can win the Big Deal. If you are not a subscriber then take care of that first, then sign up below for a chance to win a Youth Ropes Course Adventure Day at the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary.

UPDATE: We have our winners. Thanks for playing.
