Auburn's Website Features Links to Activities for Kids

Environmentally-friendly games and activities can help stave off boredom over winter break.

Boasting a wide array of features spanning the gamut from a calendar of events and city news updates to important city contacts and business permit information, the easy-to-navigate city of Auburn website also includes links for kids.

In step with Auburn’s mission to promote eco-friendly initiatives among its citizenry, by providing links to environmentally-driven games and activities, the city is appealing to its pint-sized population. Through links to sites such as the Environmental Protection Agency’s Student Page and Stormwater Coalition’s Kids Playhouse and activities such as Make a Water Filter or games like Droplet and the Water Cycle, kids can learn about the world around them and stave off winter break boredom at the same time. It’s good, clean fun.
