Play Tips for Parents

Kid-Powered Play

Every exhibit is designed to empower kids to take the lead while growing important skills like critical thinking, creativity, confidence and more.
Kids pick their path, create their own stories and drive their own fun.
The museum was created to provide dynamic experiences. Gallery components change, teaching artists and other activities are brought in so members and visitors can experience and try something new. Check our emails and Facebook page for information.

Be a Great Play Partner Enhance your child’s play and watch them grow before your eyes. It’s easy:

Join your child’s story and add challenges or plot twists.
Be ok with repetition. It’s how they master their world.
Let your child explore freely.
