Opening of Hanamaki Mokuiku Playland: An Interactive Experience from Japan

🌸 Volunteer Opportunity! 🌸

We’re excited to welcome Hanamaki Mokuiku Playland: An Interactive Experience from Japan back to Hot Springs this fall — and we need YOUR help to make it a success!

Last year, more than 1,200 visitors explored the exhibit, and it’s thanks to the incredible support of our volunteers that the team from Hanamaki is returning with a much larger installation. This year’s exhibit will be open November 1 – December 14 at the Garland County Library Auditorium, offering families a hands-on experience with beautifully crafted wooden toys and the Japanese concept of Mokuiku — learning through play and connection with nature.

Volunteers help welcome visitors, guide families through interactive play areas, and support this unique cultural exchange. 🙌

📅 Sign up for a volunteer shift today.

Together, we can make Hanamaki Mokuiku Playland an unforgettable experience for children and families across our community!
