“Arrive by 4:40 PM to line up for tickets, as spots fill up fast.”
What is 3rd-5th Adventures - Spy School!? This is a free, hands-on mystery-solving event designed specifically for older elementary school students at the Eva Perry Regional Library in Apex. What to Know: This program is strictly for children in third through fifth grades, making it a perfect fit for nine- to eleven-year-olds who enjoy puzzles and brainteasers. Admission is entirely free, but you must secure a physical ticket at the Youth Services desk starting at 4:45 PM on the day of the event. The library has a dedicated parking lot, but spots can fill up quickly during peak after-school hours, so plan to arrive early to grab your ticket and find a space. This event makes a smart addition to your weekday routine because it offers a structured, screen-free challenge that keeps older kids intellectually active after the school day ends.
