Designed as a first visit and introduction to Meadow Brook Hall, the Teddy Bear Tea Party is perfect for young girls.

MAKING GAMES

This tour focuses on the Wilson and Dodge children and how life at Meadow Brook Hall in 1929 differs from our own today. What has changed, and what has stayed the same? Scouts meet the requirements for the “Making Games Badge” by  playing a variety of games, as well as taking home a blank game board so that they can create their own. Approximately 1.5 hours.
