“The Wild Robot” is coming to the Central Terminal! Bring family and friends to watch as Roz, our charmingly awkward robo-hero, crash-lands into the wilderness and somehow goes from “cold metal invader” to “world’s most lovable goose mom.” It’s equal parts hilarious, heartwarming, and existentially confusing. Kids will giggle, adults will get misty, and geese everywhere will request their own emotional support robot.

Spring Clean Up in Honor of Tom Luby
2026-05-16 10:00 - 13:00
Join us for a special Spring Clean Up in honor of Tom Luby, who showed up every Saturday for 18 years—rain or shine—to care for the Central Terminal. From tending the grounds to making repairs, Tom gave what mattered most: himself.
This morning of remembrance is a chance to carry his legacy forward as we prepare the grounds for the season ahead. Caring for this landmark is year-round work, and it takes many hands to keep the Central Terminal standing, welcoming, and vibrant.
