10 Events Taking Place This Jam-Packed Weekend in the Magic Valley

It seems like April has only begun, yet it is already the final weekend of the month. Yardwork has begun, sports can be played outdoors again, and plenty is going on as spring is in full swing. Part of spring happening means more and more events are taking place. This weekend is jam-packed with a plethora of events happening across the Magic Valley, and the sad thing is having to miss out on certain ones. Here is what is taking place this weekend. 

Thursday, April 25 Through Saturday, April 27 - Animal Days

One of the best events of the spring is returning this year, and it takes place this weekend. Animal Days will be happening Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at the Burley Straw Maze, and will be open from 10 AM to 8 PM each day. Tickets are $15 per person at the gate, with children 2 and under being free. This is a great event for the whole family. It is educational, fun, and a great way to create memories.

Friday, April 26, and Saturday, April 27 - Bee Day at Tubbs Berry Farm

While many people are allergic to bees and afraid of being stung by them, they play a major factor in being contributions to our culture. They help pollinate, they make honey, and because of this many people prefer to have them around in the spring and summer. Beekeeping is a big deal around here, and many people order bees. Tubbs Berry Farm is a place where they can be picked up if they were pre-ordered, but you can still enjoy Bee Day this weekend. The event will be happening on Friday from 1 PM to 5 PM and on Saturday from 9 AM to 1 PM. Even if you didn't order any bees, there is fun to be had with hiving demonstrations, gifts, fresh honey, farm animals, and much more. Stop by Tubbs this weekend and check it out. For more details on Bee Day click on the second link above, and for more on what is happening and coming up at Tubbs Berry Farm, click the first link.
