Family Workshops

Join us for our Family Workshops, where learning is a family affair!

Work with a skilled educator to create art, carry out experiments, or learn something new.

Family workshops are special activities where kids and caregivers learn and play together. Children must be supervised by the adults in their group at all times. Each workshop lists the recommended age for participants, but everyone in the family is welcome! Bring along siblings, friend groups, grandparents, or anyone who wants to enjoy a family-focused activity.

Registration is required. Family workshops at The Iowa Children’s Museum are pay-what-you-can. We encourage participants to select the cost that they can afford or pay a little extra to support other families and future programs! Member discounts do not apply to this program.

Shape the Future of Play!

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.

Give the gift of play

This holiday season, give them moments that matter. Memberships and gift cards create warm memories and give curiosity a place to grow!
