Our Kids Domino Toppling Club had the incredible opportunity to learn from professional domino master Chris Wright — and together, they built an 8,000-piece domino run! With Chris' expert guidance, the kids worked together to create an intricate, colorful display, learning patience, teamwork and creativity along the way.

Kids Domino Toppling Club meets the first Tuesday of every month from 6:15 – 7:15 PM at the Aurora YMCA. Sign up for the club.
