The free, family-friendly event welcomes the public from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 3929 E. Bell Road.

Activities include games, crafts and robots races. Families can try out the Mako and daVinci surgical robots in the hospital’s operating room and learn about minimally invasive surgery procedures from local surgeons.
