Learning Beyond the Classroom
Children's museums spark the joy of learning through play and exploration. Come check out the fun weekly programming our museum offers. A new topic is highlighted each week. We explore a book, discuss the topic, and do a fun, interactive project or demonstration to bring the topic to life in the eyes of a child.
