Things to Do with the Kiddies At Ballpark Village

Published on April 23, 2008

Solve one of the greatest mysteries of Ballpark Village, and have the little ones measure the depth of the crater: If acceleration due to gravity at the Earth’s surface equals 9.8 meters per second squared, and you hurl a six-year-old over the edge, how long will it take before he reaches the bottom?

Generate wind power for Crappie's kitchen: Stand at the water's edge and play "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" on the harmonica.

Teach your kids about symbolism: Float dollar bills on Ballpark Lake...and make a wish.
