Daily Funtivities
Educational and engaging activities facilitated by our outstanding team of PLAYologists!
Just listen for the daily “Funtivity” announcements!
Programs
No matter what your child’s passion is, you’ll find a special program just for them where play is learning. The Iowa Children’s Museum offers different programs for your family’s different needs.
You’ll find daily Funtivities that last ten minutes while you explore the exhibits, drop-off Day Camp programs lasting from a half-day to all week long, and outreach programs where the Museum comes to your school or group with hands-on activities to support your curriculum.
Art Adventures
Clay Play! gives all those budding artists out there an opportunity to sculpt, squish, pound and create with different types of clay.
Kinder Club
Kinder Club builds skills your 3 to 5-year-old will need as they prepare for school. This drop-off program meets weekly during the school year.
Nature Play
Nature Play is a free outdoor program for the whole family that explores the wonderful world of nature through activities and games.
