Safe and Sound Walk Arounds are available for all age groups. A Safe and Sound Walk Around includes a walking tour of the facility and mini-town; Time will be spent in our interactive fire engine and our safety house. Additionally, we invite our younger visitors who take a 'walk around' Safety Town to practice their pedestrian skills and crosswalk safety during the outdoor portion of their tour. (No jeep or bike rides are included as part of the Safe and Sound Walk Around.) Each SSWA last approximately 30 minutes.
