Frequent flyers.

Watch bird training demos by Trek staff, play migration hopscotch to learn about challenges faced by migratory birds on their journey, try on bird beaks and costumes, and help out with a bird-banding survey.

Kids Rock! Seattle Art Museum’s latest exhibit, Kurt, is an exhibition of Kurt Cobain–inspired work by artists from around the world. On Saturday, May 15, head over for Family Day — take a kid-friendly tour, try your hand at arts and crafts, get your faces painted, and stick around for a concert by Caspar Babypants (do we still need to add that he’s also the lead singer of The Presidents of the United States of America?) at 11 a.m., and The Harmonica Pocket, (with special guests dancer Maureen Freehill and musician Jon Ryser), at noon. Free, but admission is required to tour the galleries. All ages. 10 a.m.–3 p.m. Seattle Art Museum, 1300 First Ave., Seattle.
