Plan visits during expanded summer hours (May 26-Labor Day) when the museum is open 7 days a week, giving you more flexibility to visit on less crowded weekdays rather than busy weekends.
Visitor tip
Don't miss Maker Saturdays in May featuring unique hands-on activities like sewing, cyanotype printing, and recycled art projects—these rotating pop-ups offer educational experiences beyond the permanent exhibits.

The water table play and hands-on exploration stations are particularly engaging for toddlers and young children, making this an excellent destination even for families with babies and toddlers who typically have limited options at other attractions.

What visitors say
Our kids saw this location on Blippi and loved it, so we decided to come visit. You will not be disappointed—the place is amazing for kids and adults. You’ll both have an amazing time and learn so much. Highly recommended!
This was such a fun experience! There's so much for the kids to do and so many different ways they can explore pretend play! It was also clean and everyone was very friendly. We can't wait to come back again.
First time going (we are out-of-towners) and I took my 10 year old son, we had a blast!! Very educational all around and tons to do, even lots for toddlers! It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. 😊
