The Iowa Children’s Museum in Coralville is looking for enthusiastic kids and grown-ups to take part in an upcoming photo and video shoot! We’ll be capturing families exploring exhibits and making memories that will appear in future museum marketing and advertising campaigns.
The shoot will take place Monday, September 21, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at The Iowa Children’s Museum (located in Coral Ridge Mall). If your child has the day off from school, it’s the perfect opportunity to spend an afternoon playing at the museum while helping us tell our story!
There’s no acting experience required and no script to memorize. We simply want to capture real moments of curiosity and connection as families enjoy the museum together. This year we will also conduct short interviews between playtime to capture what families love most about the museum. Questions will be as simple as “What does your child love about coming here?”
We’re especially hoping to feature elementary-aged children, while also showcasing the diversity that makes our community so special. We want every family to see themselves reflected in the museum, so we encourage volunteers of all backgrounds, races, abilities, and family structures to apply.
As a thank-you for participating, each selected family will receive a Family Day Pass to return for another visit.
If your family is interested in participating, please complete the form below. Thank you for helping us show the world what play looks like at The Iowa Children’s Museum!
