Going to the hospital emergency room will be kind of fun on Saturday, April 10 when Burien's Highline Medical Center will celebrate the grand opening of its new ER and Patient Care Unit.

Activities will be going on from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the main campus, located at 16251 Sylvester Road Southwest.

Behind the scenes tours will be conducted from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. of the ER and patent unit, which is three times larger than the previous facility.

An activities and health fair will also run during those hours. Seattle's Pacific Science Center will present an interactive exhibit called "Blood & Guts."

The fair will also have booths that cover everything from child safety to senior health.

And participants can receive free health screenings and take a health and wellness assessment. Free child's bicycle helmets will be professionally fitted while supplies last. Kids can also tour a fire truck and ambulance and meet the people who staff them.

Participants can also meet the healthcare professionals who may be treating them in the future at the new ER.

At 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., a "SENSE-ational" show will feature performers from the Pacific Science Center.

Celebrity health and fitness expert Bob Harper from TV reality show "The Biggest Loser" will speak at 11 a.m. about the motivation to get fit. Harper will sign copies of his book at noon.

Another TV star, Grant Goodeve, host of KING TV's "Northwest Backroads" will tell the story of his son's frightening bicycle accident in a talk about bike safety.

The new facility is slated to open for patients on April 13.
