Make a splash at the museum during this water-themed dress-up day inspired by our favorite Aquatic Ambassador, Pete the Turtle!
Whether you’re dressed as a deep-sea diver, your favorite sea creature, or just ready to dodge some imaginary rain, you’re invited to dress up in your favorite water-themed gear and join us for a day of playful fun!
No need to bring a towel—our exhibits will stay dry and ready for play. But head to the Art Studio for special water-themed fun that keeps the creativity flowing!
This event was chosen by our museum guests during the “Use Your VOICE” election day event, where Pete the Turtle’s “Water Day” platform came out on top.
All activities are included with museum admission (free for members)!
Please take a moment to share your thoughts in our 5-minute survey. Your feedback will help us keep the museum’s exhibits and programs fun, accessible, and meaningful for every child.
This holiday season, give them moments that matter. Memberships and gift cards create warm memories and give curiosity a place to grow!
The Iowa Children’s Museum will be closed Monday, August 25th, through Friday, August 29th, for routine cleaning and maintenance. This includes STEM Family Free Night. Thank you for your patience while we work to make our exhibits even better for your next visit!
