Sponsored by Whole Foods Market, Creation Station is a hands-on arts & crafts activity for children. From tambourines to time capsules...there's something for everyone. Our dinosaur scratch art will become a treasured souvenir when you combine it with a visit to Jungle John and his reptile friends (right next door in the Omni Ballroom). With a visit to Katie Balloon (in the Omni Jefferson Room), your child may be inspired to create their very own mylar balloon. Due to the popularity of Creation Station, this year we have organized the activities into sessions (refer to the FNV program grid); choose the one that best meets your family's needs. We hope your family will join us in the Processional at 6:30 pm.
